Charleston Wine and Food: Roasted Goat

The roasted goat had to be our favorite event of this year’s Charleston Wine and Food Festival. It was located at HighWire Distillery’s parking lot and featured different restaurants sampling they’re delicious eats as well as different boozy beverages. We enjoyed tasting all of the different variations of the Star of the Night: roasted goat.

 

Even though goat was the staple of that event, we wanted to spotlight the fried chicken that we sampled from Urban Grub, located in Nashville TN. We literally stood in line for 20 minutes to taste it, but it was so worth it! We have to visit them when we visit Tennessee! The chicken was delicious.

We enjoyed seeing our “Discover SC” family at the Roasted Goat event as well. They are very supportive of the Bandits and we can’t wait to collaborate with them.

 

The music, ambiance, cocktails and people were perfect that night and the fact that our glasses were always filled with some type of alcoholic beverage never hurts the cause. We look forward to this event next year.

Charleston Wine and Food Festival: Opening Night

The Charleston Wine and Food Festival was a week full of delicious food, great cocktails, exquisite wine and a damn good time! There were over 200 events that took place during #chswff, but we are going to talk about the events that we enjoyed!

Opening Night

Opening night took place at the newly renovated Gilliard Auditorium. It was gorgeous. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with our wine glasses and there were food/drink stations everywhere! The music was on point, and everyone was there having a blast! The Charleston Wine and Food cocktail contest winner, Iouli Burroughs of Fish Restaurant  was able to show of his winning cocktail at opening night called the Bon Vivant, made with Hendricks Gin.

 

 

 

 

CHSWFF also partnered with the Art Institute of Charleston and had some of the local designer students showcasing their work as we sampled from different restaurants and bars. It was the absolutely favorite part of the event.

 

 

We had the pleasure of meeting our followers from social media! We loved seeing so many people who follow the Cocktail Bandits out at opening night, supporting the local festivities. Overall, opening night was a success. We were excited for MORE!!

 

CHSFW10 – Gwynn’s VIP tent

Every night of #CHSFW10 included a stop by the Gwynn’s VIP tent. Our good friends at Momentum PR worked the room all week. Those ladies made sure all the Charleston fashion lovers were comfortable and enjoying the festivities. 

The only tent with food featured crabcakes and shrimp salsa from Lowcountry Bistro, 82 Queen and Swig & Swine. Dj Big Hair played lots of reggae music as fashion lovers enjoyed the open bar’s selection of Vodka, Bourbon and Champagne.

 

At the rear of the room hung a large screen where the runway show would be displayed. Great option for someone who wants to enjoy the party but isn’t that big into the fashions.

 

CHSFW10 – Opening Night

The first night of Charleston Fashion Week 2016 commenced the week long celebration with a stylish start. Charleston style influencers like @thebowtiegent @tarabelle and of course @charlestonshopcurator were in attendance and fabulous.

We were draped in IBU movement pieces to add flair to our all black ensembles.

 

 

 

 

As such, we were eager to see the collection on the runway. The culturally inspired line was modeled by ethnically diverse models and lead by Charleston musician, James Harris.

Taxidermy handbags were complimented by lingerie from Bits of Lace Charleston and sexy heels from Shoes on King. Amy, owner of the luxury handbag company, Taxidermy, outfitted us with an animal skin clutch and tote that garnered quite a bit of attention. The beautifully fit models bared their skin while modeling signature snakeskin purses. Very sexy.
