Wine at the Beach Festival

Luuuuucy!  You got some 'splaining to do!

Your First Crush is important.  You remember how old you were, where you were, and what you were doing when you first fell in love.  First Crushes make an impression, not only in love but in wine!  The aptly named first crush can be defined as the first press, the noun crush refers to the harvest. The verb crush refers to breaking the de-stemmed grape skins before press. 

However you define it, The Crush Me, Squeeze Me, Make Me Wine (at the Beach) Festival is happening this Sunday, October 7 from 11am to 4pm, and is shaping up to be just as memorable as your own first crush.

Come out to experience a (pardon the pun) grape-stomping good time.  There will be soup, music, and the Lucy and Ethyl look-alike contest open to men, women, children and dogs.  Yes, you can fulfill the fantasy that every I Love Lucy fan dreams about by tying your hair up in a cute little bandanna, wearing your long flowing skirt in a way that reminds me slightly of a large adult diaper (sorry but it does!) and stopping the seeds our of fresh vine grapes to dye your toes purple.  I personally would love to dress my friends little puppy in a lucy-look-a-like costume!

More importantly if you find your way out to the Westport Winery this weekend you will get the chance to learn about wine making form berry to bottle by picking, crushing, sipping and stomping the silly out of the grapes.  (too much sipping and you might be silly as well)
