3 Ladies on a Vine at The Eckert's Annual Wine & Food Festival
The 3 ladies recently had the pleasure of attending the
Annual Wine and Food Festival at Eckert’s Country Store and Farms. Eckert’s Belleville Country Store is located
in Belleville, IL., nestled in a small town about 18 miles from St. Louis
Missouri. Each time we visit the country store, we feel at home. The staff always has a smiling face and eager to help answer any question.
This year’s festival cost was $20.00 and was worth every penny. The festival featured over 30 wines from Missouri as well as nearby states by the way of Indiana and Kentucky.
There were also other beverages featured such as locally
produced vodka, craft beers, hard cider and whiskey.
The festival also offered cooking demos and product samplings of
applewurst sausage, local cheeses, meats, pickles, salsa, dips, sweets and much
more.

Live musicians played as we tasted
our way through the country store and took a moment to lounge on the patio on
the bright and sunshiny day. An amazing
time was had by all and each lady found a new favorite wine and other goodies. Of course we all had to take home one of Eckert's famous homemade pies. Eckert’s Annual Wine and Food Festival was a well needed change of pace and of course we will be back next year.

Party Favors - Barefoot Wine wrapped in tulle 2 of The Ladies on a Vine recently went to a baby shower of our good friend having twin girls. We knew it was going to be fabulous, her family always throws creative and festive parties. The theme was Candyland and everything looked so cute and perfect! As we walked in, we immediately noticed they incorporated wine into the theme. Serving liquor at baby showers has become quite popular. Baby showers are not your old fashioned living room parties with punch and sandwiches, they are carefully thought of productions that can become lavish! Don't feel pressured to serve liquor at the baby shower if you are the planner or the expected mother. Since the mother can't drink herself, it's really up to her how she feels about serving alcoholic beverages. Also it can add to the cost of the event.
