MidAtlantic Wine and Food Festival – Gospel Brunch

Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world.  On Sunday, hubby and I had an opportunity to attend the Gospel Brunch at the World Café Live at the Queen. It was one of the premier food and wine events held this year by the MidAtlantic Wine and Food Festival

The MidAtlantic Wine and Food Festival (#MAWFF) presented by Bank of America celebrates excellence in food, wine, spirits and beer.  Sunday was the last day of the 4-day festival which included 35 events at 40+ venues in 4 states, with over 60 chefs, and 23 wineries from 6 continents.

If you read my previous post from the #MAWFF kick off event at The Atrium then you know that this was an awesome way to spend a beautiful Sunday in Delaware.  The walk around Gospel Brunch had several stations of savory and tasty treats as well as a wonderful array of wines, spirits and beers from around the world, my favorite was the Brooklyn Summer brew.

This jam packed event was made even more lively with The Combined Choir of Calvary Baptist Church.  They turned up the heat with soulful Gospel music that had the audience enthusiastically clapping and singing along.  Check out my YouTube channel to see one of their soul stirring selections.

No matter how many times I tried to wait in line for a Mimosa I was just never patient enough to get one.  I was however, able to taste foods from Big Fish Grill, Classic Cake, Domaine Hudson, Stone Balloon Ale House, Penn Bistro and a “Painkiller” shot from BVITourism.com.

Prelude to Spring in Peplum OOTD

Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world.  I certainly hope that today’s snow storm is actually the last snowstorm of the season because my wardrobe is so ready for Spring.  On Monday, I couldn’t help but wear this sleeveless top even if it was covered by a wool jacket.  Do you remember this peplum top that I purchased from JCPenney?

My husband thought I was crazy and he shivered in the doorway to take these pics, but I was actually quite comfortable.

I hadn’t brought up all my winter clothes from the basement so when I saw this top hanging next to the jacket I knew they needed to be paired together – like water and wine, they mix so well together – what do you think?  

MAWFF-logo-web Speaking of wine, on Sunday, I will be attending A Taste of the MidAtlantic Wine & Food Festival in Wilmington.  I can’t wait to share some of the highlights next week and I do hope to see a few of my Delaware followers there as well.

To make the peplum top more “wintery”, I added this thick animal print belt and ethnic necklace.  The brown “Mudd’ boots, thrifted khaki skirt and wooden bracelet and earrings completes the outfit.

New Year, New You
