"Miami Iron Side"

Intercontinental Miami host Vibrant Rioja Wine Festival
I was invited for a sneak preview of the Vibrant Rioja Wine Festival hosted by Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Miami. I’m not a wine connoisseur, but I have good taste buds and know a nice wine when I come across one.
Of course, my focus was on the delicious Spanish Tapas buffet galore!!!  My favorites were the seafood and calamari salads, tender and tasty, yum. After sampling the hot dishes, I went back and had a second round!  I think this Spanish Tapas buffet is only around during the Rioja Wine Festival, so head on over before it goes!
There’s still time to  catch this Wine Festival tonight and tomorrow.  Details of all the different wine tastings and wine dinners are here.  Enjoy.  I’ll be posting up a photo gallery and blog soon. I was thrilled to see they have their own herb garden and private Chef’s table, more about that

New Websites Launch!
I am so thrilled to announce our joint website launch.  Thanks to Sze, the brains behind 852cmd I couldn’t have done this without her. Her guidance with everything from concept and design to execution and most importantly, marketing and targeting my audience! It was hard work but she’s so much fun to work with. Honestly, if you need to improve your web presence, she’s your gal.
