The Art & Wine Walk - Bismarck

Was actually freaking cool and totally unexpected from what I've seen happening in the area. Gave me a great new perspective.
21 vendors, each with a different wine and challenged to pair it up with something delicious. Which they did! My favorites were McManis Petit Sirah with CHOCOLATE, anything chocolate. TOTALLY made the wine amazing! A close second was the Tosti Proseco with Cheesecake Gelato… fucking amazeballs.

So the following vendors were involved:

Baga with 14 Hands Chardonnay
Blarney Stone with Goosebump Red Blend
JLG Architects with McManis Petit Sirah
Peacock Alley with Tosti Prosecco
Laughing Sun with their local microbrews (not wine – which I appreciated)
Lillian’s with Ste. Chapelle Soft Red
Soul Interiors with Dona Paula Los Cardos Sauvignon Blanc
MickArt Studio with Main Street Winery Cabernet
Magic Photo Art with Once Upon A Vine Pinot Noir
Kittson with Girl Go Lightly Rose (and an awesome deal on a purse)
Woodmansee’s (www.woodmansees.com) with Boxhead Winemakers Cabernet Sauvignon and an AMAZING lay out of food
Impact Gallery & Gifts  with Dona Paula Los Cardos Malbec
Lot 2029 with Seven Daughters Pinot Grigio
CC’s Feminine Fitness with Ritzman Riesling
Right on Broadway with Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc-Viognier
Annex 208 with Sledgehammer Forged Red
Hey Ocean with Tosti Pink Moscato
Accelerate Health Chiropractic with 14 Hands Hot to Trot White Blend
The Scarlet Gypsy with Red Heads Studio Yard Dog Red and AWESOME meatballs with a Tomato Basil coating.
Rhythm Records with Boxhead Winemakers Shiraz

Overall an AMAZING evening with tons of snacks, foods, and deserts paired with amazing alcohol.

I was highly pleased and really hoping to win that trip to vegas since I entered the drawing by going to each vendor and getting a stamp. It was a great way to get to know some of the shops that we drive past every day and don’t ever take the time to stop into. I definitely will now! That is fo’sure!

So this is my little list in case I ever lose my little passport that is full of stamps :-)
