A quick sampler of shots from this past weekend’s Sun WineFest at Mohegan Sun. It’s on my list for 2013 already. Great time, wines, beers, foods and more all served up in high style.

It is hands-down the perfect spot for an impromptu luncheon or early dinner. The location is top-notch, the scenery is perfect, and the wine and homemade gelato just add to the experience.
