I was honored and thrilled to be at New York City's Wine & Food Festival. After participating at the Miami and Austin festivals, it was a treat to be in my backyard for this fantastic event.
My friends at Buick asked me to join them in the Grand Tasting Tent to create a luxury tailgate experience with their ENCORE vehicle. And, to sign copies of my book "Mermaids & Martinis, Turn Your Party Into a Memory" for guests!
Here are a few ways to upgrade your next tailgate with style and simplicity. First, we spray painted acorns gold and hand painted mini gourds and pumpkins to add a little color...we also gathered bunches of leaves, branches and flowers to add a lush look. I wanted to add some depth to the back of the car, so I used mini haystacks to layer some elements along with a selection of beautiful silver pieces by Christofle.
Whether you are chasing a hot air balloon festival or rooting for your favorite football team, who wouldn't want to luxury tailgate with sparkling apple cider in these flutes?
I hired a fabulous artist, George Oh, to add some artistry to three pumpkins. He created an abstract road trip (grey pumpkin), a night sky themed visual and even carved the Buick logo.
I really do look forward to this event all year long. The Grand Tasting Tent features so many exciting new products, celebrity chef demonstrations and has an unbelievable energy. It was a weekend of unforgettable events and interactions.
Special thanks to my friends at Buick, Christopher Ayotte and Rosalyn Calvaneso, can't wait to share a toast with you both soon!
