20160910 – Whiskey and Wings

It’s time for the 5th Annual Whiskey and Wings Festival…!!

Who ever thought of this combination for a Festival should get the Nobel Peace Prize.   Some of the past festivals have been lacking, but this year was Fantastic.

The festival is held at the base of Winter Park Resort.  It’s a combination of vendors who are competing for the best tasting wings and vendors of whiskey tastings.  This year had a great combination of both.

My vote this year for the best wing, believe it or not was from Jim Beam.  They made these tasty wings with their Jim Beam Red Stag.  They were fantastic…!!  I tried searching for the recipe and this was the closest I could find:

The day of the festival couldn’t had been more perfect.  After an early morning lift and sauna at the Fraser Rec Center, I met Suz and Bill for a late breakfast.  While waiting for them, I couldn’t resist a donut and mocha from Rise and Shine.  Life is good at this moment…!!

The best donut on the face of the planet.

After breakfast, we headed to the base of Winter Park where the weather for the festival couldn’t have been any better.  Here’s a pic of the Rousheys while we imbibed some whiskey and took in some yummy wings.

A couple Whiskeys into it…  a selfie with Bill and Suz.

What an incredible day with incredible friends.  I’m a lucky man to be their friend.

My attempt to take a Selfie with their new pup, Joy… not so successful.  She wanted nothing to do with me:
