Located in downtown Aspen, the Food & Wine's Grand Tasting Pavilion gives over 200 exhibitors the opportunity to showcase their products during the 3 days of the Food & Wine Classic. Here, wine and food enthusiasts make
their way through the tents sampling wines and culinary delights from around the world. Here is a sampling of mis favoritos.
 |
| The Texas Lexus |
 |
| Cocktails from Patron Tequila...see recipe for Aspen-jito below |
 |
| View of one of the tasting tents |
 |
| Alligator Boulettes (meatballs)...truly delicioso |
 |
| I must procure one of these for the next Classic...it frees up the hands |
 |
| Mrs. Becker and daughter-in-law, Emily, from Becker wines in Fredericksburg, TX |
 |
| Pisco Sours from Peru |
 |
| Govino makes this plastic wine glass that resembles the Riedel stemless |
But my absolute favorite find from the Classic...the wine sippy cup. Get one of these 10 oz. beauties from Vino2go at www.amazon.com/Kitchen.
Aspen-jito
1.5 oz Patron Silver Tequila
1 fresh cut lime
1 oz agave syrup (or simple syrup)
6-8 oz fresh mint leaves
club soda
In a mixing glass, muddle mint leaves, lime and syrup. Add tequila and ice and shake. Serve on the rocks and top with club soda. Garnish with a lime wedge. Salut!
