A few weeks back, I had the amazing privilege of joining some of my favorite Chicago bloggers for a night with The Everygirl and Kendall-Jackson wines. It was one of those nights that was truly magical, from the company {a few of my favorite bloggers from the city!}, the gorgeous rooftop table, the delicious wine and the fanciest dinner I’ve had in a very long time. Needless to say, it was one of my favorite nights in Chicago to date!
The evening started with cocktails on the rooftop and catching up with a few of my favorite ladies over glasses of Vinter’s Reserve Pinot Gris, with was amazing paired with a fresh mozzarella, sun-dried pineapple and basil appetizer. We then sat down at our gorgeous place settings {decorated with a gorgeous Rifle Paper notepad!} complete with 5 glasses of wine – a pretty clear hint that the night was going to be an epic one 🙂
We sampled an amazing collection of wines, from Vinter’s Reserve {my favorite}, Grand Reserve and Avant collections. I love a good glass of white wine and rosé, so I was obsessed with their amazing Sauvignon Blanc – which I promptly bought a few bottles of {especially since they’re only $13!}
Each wine paired amazingly well with each of our courses, and the fabulous ladies at Kendall Jackson picked out a truly amazing menu for the evening. My favorites included the roasted carrot and avocado salad, the grilled organic chicken with brussels sprouts and the home cut fries {always a favorite among bloggers, lets be real}
The best part of all was definitely the company – and I loved catching up with a few of my favorite ladies after a long day at work. Living in Chicago is a lot of things – crazy most of the time, busy, and sometimes overwhelming, but epic nights like these make the so happy to live here. Thanks so much to the lovely Alaina and Danielle of the Everygirl for the invite, and Kendal Jackson and The Public Hotel for an amazing night! xx
Wow! These photos are so gorgeous! What a beautiful event!
