Kamen Wine Tasting

Par for the course on our usual hectic schedule I ended up last Thursday with several events to attend. I've been keeping it low key lately due to school starting and an insane schedule anyway but the very first event that popped up was a RCE 2nd Grade Mom's Mixer annnd one of my favorite "Mommy Friends" (um who are we kidding this gal and I would be friends regardless) homes. So I scheduled my mom (aka best grandma ever) to come over and watch Miss G + spend the night. She often comes over after work, but the drive down to good ole P-ville is a little much after 8pm so she stays and we have "girls night" and I wake up early and take advantage of another adult being in my home and go for a run.

After the Mixer was on the schedule seemed like the entire week filled up. The night before even had several things going on and I just couldn't swing them all but I did make the Dress for Success Marathon Kick off party (more on this later) and started my own team this year for the run!

Back to Thursday.... ;)
Mom Mixer, Wine Dinner, WOW Football Party & Veuve Event all landed in the same evening. I ended up being able to do 2 out of 4. Not bad odds. I ran by the Mom Mixer and caught up a bit with some of the ladies then I spun over to Tony's for the wine tasting.

Many times I agree to go to something and have no idea what I'm going to. This event was one of those- had a call from a friend that extended the invite to a wine dinner at Tony's. Um Sure- why not? I arrive (late...as per usual) and the owner of the winery is in mid story. I sneak over to my table (ha- there were mayyyybe 30 people in the room- not much "sneaking" done.) and I begin to listen. Turns out this guy is not just an owner of a winery. He is Robert Kamen. He wrote and directed "Taken", "Karate Kid", "The Transporter" just to name a few. Took the money from his very first screen play and bought the acreage that is now Kamen Wines. Pretty interesting.
