I am so happy to be a part of the yelp community !! Gaucho's chef made an awesome speech during this event where he praised us yelpers for promoting local businesses, although that is exactly what we do I never really thought of it in that perspective! Made me feel so proud to be a yelper! Shout out to Aj S. For encouraging me to start yelping!! \n\nThis event was awesome!! I've never been to pittsburgh winery and was so excited to check it out!! What an awesome place! From the front door, to the stairs to the cellar, the vibe is relaxing and unique! The red lightning was so different and made me feel like I was in a speak easy almost! Such an awesome set up- can't wait to bring my wine-o friends and family to check it out! \n\nNow on to the wine. Honestly my taste buds haven't matured to the level of wines they had, I'm more of a matured beer drinker than I am wine. But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it! I tried them all. As far as reds go I leaned toward the red blend but the Sauvignon blanc was my fav! I bought a bottle - the bartenders encouraged me to have as much as I wanted to there and then they would recork it for me when leaving! How awesome? They were also super knowledgable of the wines and encouraged me and my guest to try them all! \n\nThe cheese from wheel and wedge were very unique and pretty good- although I am not the biggest fan of cheese , it was fun trying new kinds that I haven't tried before. \n\nI loved great harvest bread company! The cranberry orange was my favorite- soft and packed with oranges and cranberries, so yummy and perfect for the holidays! \n\nGaucho was the favorite of the evening! I've been meaning to go there forever so I was super excited to sample some of their dishes! The chef was so friendly and had such an awesome personality. The roasted pork with arugula, crimini mushrooms and picked onions was my favorite! So tasty and the pork was so juicy and flavorful! The shrimp and rice dish was awesome too! I loved the beef horseradish dish too, super good! Can't wait to go there! \n\nAwesome event!! I had such a great time! Thanks Rachel C! can't wait for the next one!
