Merry Edwards Wine Fashion Show

May 21, 2005
A very special evening at the Seaweed Café !

The evening was an experience of history in the making. Working with friends at Merry Edwards wines the Seaweed Café created a memorable evening of food, wine, and performance.

This premiere event was part of the Seaweed Café's Wine Realease Program, where "West of 101" wines are showcased and introduced through a forum that brings an added appreciation for each of the newly released wines.  Also unveiled were some new culinary creations to celebrate the new space.

Prepared and delivered was the best food, wine and fashion--with each model personlizing the course as well as the wine. The spirit and enthusiasm of those attending made the evening most rewarding!
