Taste of the Anatole – Wine, Food and Jazz Festival

Blog· Food and Drinks

The doors to the grand ballroom at the Hilton Anatole were opened on Friday night kicking off the first annual Taste of The Anatole.  As we entered the room we were invited to taste a delicious tequila cocktail compliments of Casa Nobel Tequila.  A perfect balance of watermelon, tequila and a hint of jalapeño delighted my senses, making this a great introduction to the event.  

The Taste of the Anatole

The Grand Ballroom was elegantly decorated with wine and international food stations scattered about filled with both sweet and savory treats.   The live band on stage filled the air with Jazz music as we prepared for our exploration of fine foods and wine.   Each wine station featured a variety of tasting options complimented with knowledgeable expert to educate us on the wines.  I enjoyed a pale Sherry for the first time and learned this is a wine to look out for as it’s gaining popularity among the young thirty-somethings.   A merlot from Washington State was another lovely surprise, it had all the characteristics of a full-bodied Cabernet.  

As we tasted wines from every region of the country and around the world we were delighted with small plates of gourmet delicacies including crispy risotto croquettes, smoked salmon croque monsieur, Spanish paella, Argentinian flank steak, ostrich sliders, Baha fish tacos…too many option to mention!  The Italian antipasto display and the California cheese table was a perfect accompaniment to the wines.  The mini desserts truly delighted our taste buds; amaretto ricotta cheesecake mousse, Grand Marnier crème brulee and strawberry profiteroles were just a few of the offerings and a sweet way to end a lovely evening.  Taste of the Anatole

The Taste of Anatole continued into the weekend with daytime workshops on Saturday including sessions on how to pair wine with a variety of foods, wine blending and a blind tasting.   In the evening the Anatole Grand Tasting commenced featuring Anatole’s signature cuisines expertly paired with wines from around the world.   There was also a live mozzarella cheese demonstration from master cheese maker Marc Kuehl.   The festivities were wrapped up on Sunday with a brunch featuring live jazz music, food stations and a Bloody Mary and Mimosa bar.  

The Taste of Anatole at the Hilton in Dallas is a must for wine aficionados and those that truly enjoy gourmet culinary treats.   The entire event truly tantalizes your senses from beginning to end.  So, if you are a lover of wine and find enjoyment in trying delectable foods from around the world do not miss this event.  The Taste Of The Anatole was held from October 2-4th in Dallas and they offer Sip,  Savor and Stay packages which includes the event, parking and a guest room.   For more information on the Taste of the Anatole visit www.TasteOfTheAnatole.com and I hope to see you there next year!

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
