We wanted to find a good time, good wine, good food...
Found: 29th Annual Taste of Charleston...Boone Hall Plantation.
It was a lovely way to spend a Sunday...the wine and beer were plentiful (although water was hard to find)...
For less than a Jackson we scored a wristband (that allowed us into the village o' lowcountry observance), a few refreshing sips, and a sampling of what local chefs are offering...
The lines weren't long (not even to the "ladies room")...even the entry process was quite easy...
...Voila...a well-oiled machine and something every self-respecting Charleston resident should experience in their tenure here...There were chefs a' plenty and you could take your pick from the "plastic fork" to the "silver spoon with charger" variety...all packed together in a field under the blazing Southern sun...we had no judgments either way and just started "tasting"
Middleton Place was a favorite...moist shrimp over the last-of-summer succotash...Maverick Southern Kitchens hit a soft spot, too...
Like I said, the place was swarming with epicurean opportunities...we just had to shove this map in our back pocket and move....
Ice Age made an appearance and, given the broiled-to-a-nice-bubbling-mess weather conditions, this was one of the coolest sights of the afternoon (pun intended)...
All in all, good day...good time. Charleston lives on...
