Thanks to apartment 34 I was on the guest list for a preview of the upcoming Food and Wine Festival in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, Mexico at Hotel Americano in Chelsea. Along with Corinne and my newest blogging friends (Stripes and Sequins, The Urban Slant, Walks with Bella and Fashion Truffles) I learned about Mexican wine, tequila and mezcal from leading wine expert Mark Oldman. Don't you love the monogram on the inside of his blazer? So dapper!![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3qtthd6rj9I/Tw-OP263VkI/AAAAAAAABuA/n-fzqMJkNTE/s1600/tequilagun.jpg)
What to do when you need to regain the attention of the group? Whip out the tequila shot gun. You can find this online and I think it would be an amazing gift!

I left the wine tasting with dreams of a getaway to the Food & Wine Festival in Mexico, a nice buzz and a copy Oldman's Brave New World of Wine: Pleasure, Value, and Adventure Beyond Wine's Usual Suspects. It has great reviews and I look forward to expanding my wine knowledge. So far so good, and I think the woman reading over my shoulder on the train would agree.

The Mexican theme continued throughout the evening with dinner at Tortilla Flats and a solo shopping spree at Forever 21 (they are open until 10:30). I thought this scarf had a little Mexican flair. Cheers!
The event sounds like a blast and how fun is that tequila shotgun?! I also like the scarf you got at F21. It definitely has some Mexican flair!

Goodness when you try Mexican you really go all out! I am seriously bookmarking that tequila gun for future Christmas presents. It's perfect! Ps. You've been tagged!
