The Most Delicious Event - Taste of Westport!

5/12/2016

Fairfield County "It!"

had a delightful and delicious time at

"Taste of Westport"

for the benefit of Clasp Homes

at The Westport Inn
in Westport, Connecticut.

The event was packed with foodie types eager to try the tasty libations and culinary creations.

Matt Criscuolo accompanied by Tony Purrone entertained with classy jazz ensembles
as we happily meandered through the food and silent auction items.

We were pleased to bump into Nube Siquenza who served up tasty bites from
Harvest Restaurant.

My friend squealed with
taste bud delight when she tried the clever small bite combinations.

We were in lobster heaven with the lobster rolls from soon to open Boothbay Lobster Company in Stamford.

I discovered Hummock Island and WOW, the oysters were fabulous!

We stopped by Da Pietro's table and spoke with Chef Pietro.
He offered us his lamb meatballs. Light and scrumptious.

Washington Prime whetted our appetite with bites of steak
accompanied by 5 sauces:
Chimchuri, Ommni,
Maple Truffle Chili,
WP Steak Sauce & Horseradish

My favorite,
the Maple Truffle Chili,
a complex mouthful of
sweet and earth
with steak.

I enjoyed this soft cheese ravioli from Bianco Rosso of Wilton.

Tacos Mexicos kept us coming back for "One more margarita please"!

The sushi from Matsu Sushi was fresh and wonderful!

Later in the evening we enjoyed One Anthem's duo featuring
front man Beto Petrillo,
offering his Brazilian influenced
spin on acoustic music.

Black Bear Wine & Spirits offered creative cocktails!

Garelick & Herbs served up a feast!

Greens Farms Wine & Spirits was well stocked with a variety of wines to choose from.

Rive Bistro offered a
roasted apple with mild sausage that paired very well together.

A friend recommended Acqua's basil infused meatball crostini.

He was talking them up to everybody!

Mionetto Prosecco kept us bright with bubbly!

Our sweet tooth was taken care of by La Rouge.

Seriously decadent bites of chocolate.

There were many wonderful items to bid on during the silent auction:

Art, a Billy Joel Concert, Limo and tickets to the Metropolitan Opera, a magnum of Altaneve Prosecco,
as well as numerous other highly desirable items.
