Looking forward to discovering new wines to bring to the next girls night! Going with my friends allows us to find ones we all like
This event will be off the chain! More than 3 dozen of the 200 wines poured on Saturday have retail price points over $50 a bottle! There will be top notch wines, and great eats from some of the Main Line’s BEST restaurants – Alfredo’s, George’s, Creeds, General Warren Inne, Xilantro, A La Maison, Matador and more! Plus – a souvenir wine glass!
My friends and I would love the chance to hang out, try delicious food, and learn about wine. Since we’re grad students we don’t really have the budget to go to fancy restaurants and think it would be a great opportunity to learn more about the exciting cuisine in the city!
I have family coming in from California that weekend, and I honestly couldn’t think of a better event for us all to go to than the MLT Food & Wine Affair. They love good wine, and of course good food, but more important, valuable time spent with family and friends. This would be perfect. Thanks for the chance!
Always excited for the opportunity to taste other people in the industrys food. Love excellent wine and love tasting and learning about new food ideas. The best way to do this is with a group of good friends who appreciate it as well.
Free-flowing vino in all varieties, fabulous food, and a beautiful venue. I have to be there! Please pick me for a well well-deserved night out with my husband and 4 best friends.
My friends are some of the most important people in my life. I have been searching for a way to thank them for being so supportive, and this would be the perfect event to treat them to because they love wine and great food. They would never allow me to purchase tickets for all of them on my own, but if I won this contest, they would have no choice but to be my guests!
Great food? Great wine? Amazing chefs? And a portion of the proceeds goes to Philabundance? It simply doesn’t get any better than this.
This sounds like an amazing opportunity to sample amazing wines and become more knowledgeable at the same time! As a bartender at the newly opened o-toro (sushi, wine and tapas restaurant) in Wayne, I’m always looking for great opportunities to expand my wine knowledge!
For goodness sakes, I would love to take part in this! Seriously, what is not to like??
My wife would like to start having a seasonal “bucket list” since we just had a second daughter and time is flying faster than we can track. I want to do something really special with her and this event would kick off the tradition with gusto!
I love trying new wines, especially new reds (I’m really curious about Louis Jadot Beaujolais 2010 since it’s approaching that time of year!) and I love good, fresh, healthy food. Throw in my friends and that sounds like I would have a perfect evening! Plus it is a good cause for Philabundance, what more can a girl want???
So many wines and such good food – why wouldn’t anyone want to attend
Would LOVE to attend as an early bday present to myself = ) and share with five of my girlfriends! Fingers crossed for some early bday luck!
I would love to add new wines to my small list of favorites! Good cause-good food-good wine. Enough said.
I’d love to sample more international wines and also revisit some that we’ve tasted in CA!
Sounds like a wonderful chance to try new food and catch up with old friends… Plus it’s the weekend after my anniversary of 14 years to my wonderful hubby!
I’d love to go to the Main Line Food and Wine Affair with my friends. Why? Because there is food and wineof course. My friends and I all love wine and food. I can’t think of a better way to spend the weekend. Friends are the family we choose. Thanks for the consideration.
I would love to go! My boyfriend and I love to go wine tasting and to cook together. This would be the perfect date and to bring our other food and wine-loving friends along!
I would be BEYOND excited to have a chance to sample some new wines that I’ve never had, as well as try some different foods! I am a huge fan of wine, but have never experienced a wine tasting. Would also love the chance to be educated on wine pairings, etc.! Sounds like a wonderful event!! Fingers crossed!
Thanks for entering, Jaime! Congrats, you’re our winner!
I would love to attend. Not only could I sample all the delicous food and wines, but I’m new to the area and it would be a great opportunity for me to meet new people and find out about the great food in the area.
I would LOVE to wine this prize pack for my friends and I because we always enjoy going to different places to sample wines and local cuisine. This would be truly an amazing gift to give my friends as we all are usually tight on budget, not getting out as much as we would like! It would be an amazing experience getting to taste delicious wines and award winning food. I really hope I win so I can treat everyone to an amazing day!!!
I’m looking forward to sampling all the great foods. My girlfriend and I are always looking for new restaurants to explore!
