Wine + Jelly Beans

In the last month, we've both hit the big 3-0. Yikes.

While I much prefer to plan parties for others, some pesky family members convinced me to have a little birthday gathering of local friends that involved one of my favorite activities -- wine tasting! 

As part of the weekend, we assembled gift bags for all the ladies that contained "A Few of Farrell's Favorite Things." As you will note from the bag decor, my birthday falls on a certain patriotic holiday.

  Now, we couldn't get queso into the bags (don't worry, we did have it during the course of the weekend), but we did get a few fun treats in there, including these Jelly Bean Wine Shooters. 

Check them out.  The Jelly Bean Wine Bar (great customer service, by the way) puts together these fun little "test tubes" that contain jelly bean flavors which, when combined, taste just like your favorite vino.  In our gift bags, we featured Blanc de Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Gris.  So fun. 

I'd definitely recommend these as a fun addition to your next favor bag, girls' weekend, or wine themed event!
