If you are looking for a fancy, dress-up event to kick off the holidays, The Wine and Food Foundation throw a mean party at the Driskill every year. Some of the best restaurants in town provide tasty bites. And you get to sample dozens of the best red wines and champagne in the world. I love sitting on the porch at the Driskill, sipping on a $200 bottle of wine, looking over downtown Austin and contemplating the coming Christmas season. Cheers, ya’ll.
Get Carried Away
