Ever wish you could be in two places at once, or that there were five of you? I have, especially lately, since there seem to be so many entertaining events happening simultaneouly. One specific event coming up that I can not attend, seeing as I will be out of town and cannot in fact be in two places at once, is the 20 Year Celebration of the Austin Museum of Art (AMOA) La Dolce Vita Food & Wine Festival on October 15th.
This event features delicacies from over 50 of Austin’s finest restaurants, and over 10 local wineries and spirits artisans. This event will take place at the picturesque Italian villa and former AMOA residence, Laguna Gloria, and benefits exhibitions and education programs through the museum.
Now here’s where you come in. Coincidentally, I will also be traveling, making my own ’sweet life’, during the La Dolce Vita Preview Event this coming Monday, September 28th from 6:30-8 PM. This event will preview several of the wines that will be served at La Dolce Vita on October 15th, and local bites from Primizie Osteria and Austin Cake Ball. I am looking for 2 people to fill my spot at this preview event, and each of you can even bring 2 guests!
The Challenge:
1. Click on this link (and scroll down to the right side bar) for the listing of local restaurants and wineries/spirits artisans featured at this year’s La Dolce Vita.

2. Email a story about a positive experience you’ve had with one of the vendors listed to Rebeccammendations@gmail.com by Thursday, September 24th at midnight. Funny, entertaining stories are welcome!
3. 2 of the best experiences shared will get to attend the La Dolce Vita Preview Event, and each of you can bring 2 guests with you for an exclusive event of food and wine tasting to get a sneak peek of what was voted the “Best Food Event” in 2008 by Austin Chronicle readers.
4. Winners will also have the opportunity to be featured as a guest blogger on TheRebeccammendations, if you so choose to write a review of the wine and food tasted at the preview event on Monday.
