The Good Life ~ Sacramento
Exploring a City with a Small-Town Feel and World of PotentialArchive for World Famous
If I Only Had a Brain, a Heart, the Nerve… and a Ticket to Tonight’s Event!
Maximilian Riedel, of Riedel Crystal, will be atop Sacramento’s historic Elks Tower, sharing his fine-tuned knowledge of wine, wine glasses, and how well the two pair up.
We all know that not all wines are created equal, and we know that plastic, styrofoam and metal do not great wine glasses make (although they can be useful in a pinch)… but how about shape, size, weight and other delicate factors of glass and crystal stemware? How might they change the intimate experiences you have with your favorite wines?
It’s an art, a craft and a science for some. But it’s sure a fun, fun and more fun hobby for the rest of us! All you need for tonight is a golden ticket.
$85 will get you up close and personal with Mr. Riedel, a golden slice of his knowledge, wine tasting, h’ors d’oevres, dessert, delicioius views, and a 4-piece set of Riedel Crystal wine glasses worth more than the price of a single ticket.
The event is also a fundraiser for the Sacramento Chapter of NACE (National Association of Catering Executives). So go forth, eat, drink and be merry. Because you can.
February 1, 2011 – 6PM

There is something special about Sacramento; the rich land upon which it was built, the rivers that flow through, the bounty around it and the people who make the Sacramento area their home.
Life is good in California’s Capital City for many reasons, including climate and geography, community and amenities, nature and wildlife, and so much more. It’s hard to imagine a warmer feeling than a sunshine-drenched morning here, an easier feeling than a refreshing post-rain spring day, or a more engaging experience than a night on the town with friends or family.
There’s truly something here for everyone and every mood, for Sacramento is a shifting entity itself, with four distinct but relatively mild seasons, diverse neighborhoods and people, a ripening food and restaurant scene, year-round events and outdoor fun, and daytime and night-time adventures. Its magic is a blend of history and tradition, vision and reinvention. And there’s so much pleasure to be had here – with family and friends, food and wine, adventures and experiences – that they’re likely to create the kind of fond memories that might seem so familiar… but aren’t quite like any other.
