A Tea Party With No Tea

by Farley

Sara's Tea Party Most Sundays you can find me pouring wine in the tasting room up on the mountain, dressed in Fogarty attire. This past Sunday, however, I got to put on my new red & white dress and sit down at a tea party with a group of lovely ladies. The weather was just right outside The Villa, with a cool breeze moving through our hair and the flowers on the table. The butler (who also doubles as Fogarty’s cellar rat) promptly filled my glass with sparkling wine, as we passed around the goodies. There were heart-shaped scones with raspberry jam, crab dip filled phyllo cups, a tower of cupcakes and tarts, and my favorite: little cucumber sandwiches with salmon mousse (which went especially well with the bubbly). I brought some of the TF Pinot Gris (sold out now, sadly), which went quite nicely with the almond chicken salad sandwiches.

Later we exchanged wrapped tea cups, about which I know nothing, though some of the other ladies were ooooing and ahhhhhing over Paragons and a Shelley…. Alas, we didn’t even drink any tea.

Head over to Sara’s blog for some delightful pictures of the afternoon.
