My Mother Betty and I attended the Wilson Wine and Art Festival today on Young St in the Wilson Business District. We got there a little bit later and the crowd seemed to lessen as we walked along. It was a good day for visitors enjoying cool weather to stroll through the community.
There were artists showing their work, jewelry tents and other artisans selling their crafts and paper works. Singer Farms had delicious fruits and we tried the mouth watering apricots to taste . We visited the used Book shop to check it out and I found a book about Tony Stewart and Nascar. (That bright orange really jumped off the shelf at me) It was a victory stop at the shops. I’ll probably end the day with taking some time to read up on Tony and his history at the Glen. The book couldn’t have landed in my hands on a better weekend. To the fan that traded it in to the used book store, thanks.
There were various wineries from the Niagara Wine Trail attended this event and you could sample a taste of the different wines. Along with the ticket purchase I received a commemorative glass from the Village of Wilson.
In a previous post ,I had wondered why we don’t really see new cuisine at events we attend. It seems like it’s the same type of pizza, wings, hot dogs, etc. Today we were delighted to taste something new to us from Sunset Grille in Wilson. The Grille’s stand had Deep fried spinach covered with mushrooms, onions and tomatoes with asiago cheese on top. It was fresh and the flavor was bursting of summer. I also enjoyed sweet and sour sesame shrimp. The server told me they have both of the items at their restaurant and gave us directions to get there. We drove over to check it out and stop by another time. Their site is www.sunsetgrilleonline.com
It was an enjoyable day of art, wine and new types of outdoor festival food. And Sunset Grille is on my list of places to visit in the near future…
