New England Boat Show: Record Attendance
"You're gonna need a bigger boat!" The 2019 New England Boat Show helped participants to finally achieve the end goal of that famous quote! This year, the show charted a new course, breaking all prior attendance records. The exposition, which took place from February 9th through the 17th at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center featured something for all ages. There were family friendly experiences and countless opportunities to learn about local boathouses and set foot onto a variety of sailing vessels while at the show and finally find that "bigger boat."

New England International Auto Show
Cars, vans, crossovers, hybrids, light trucks, and sports utility vehicles were all featured in the Seaport's BCEC. Participants had the opportunity to sit behind the wear, open the trunk, inspect the rims and tires, and pop the hood to experience all aspects of each vehicle. The expo had that "new car smell" as soon as you entered the door! The opportunity to compare prices and vehicle features was everywhere and participants had the chance to get answers to their questions in a no pressure environment right on the expo floor.

Boston Wine Expo 2017
This year's Grand Tasting highlighted over 1,800 wine varieties from around the globe. The Celebrity Chef Stages featured appearances by Andy Husbands as well as David Becker to name a few. Seminars on over 35 topics including, "One Hour Wine Experts" and "Why You Like the Wines You Like" took place for those looking for a more formal education in wine.
The Red Balloon had the privilege of meeting and discussing wine with Marzia Ferraris Arizzi at the Expo. Marzia is the proprietor of Arizziwine. This family owned winery produces Sangiovese and Merlot wines from the soil to maximum the taste. Marzia stressed the importance of quality when producing all of her wine. She ensures that within each bottle she creates, that the grapes and the very essence of life are contained. Her philosophy of quality is clear in her devotion to her winery. For Marizia, the wine process from start to finish is clearly a labor of love. Marzia is pictured on the far right of the photo below:
New this year, participants at the Grand Tasting could take part in mini-paint sessions to get a feel for Paint Night. With aprons on, participants took to their canvases and got in touch with their inner Picasso.
Participants also had the option of creating mini-terrariums, getting their hands dirty and a sense of what is involved in Plant Night.

As always, the expo is for a worthy cause.Proceeds from the Boston Wine Expo support the Tufts Medical Center's Summer Camp Program for Children with disabilities.

Boston Expos
Beep Beep Beep! New England's largest auto expo invaded Boston's Convention and Exhibition Center last month. With countless imported and domestic models as well as a classic collection of vintage automobiles it was the place to be for all auto enthusiasts.

See some photos from the show below including a vehicle being painted before patrons very eyes - the car will be one of the official pace cars in the 2017 Boston Marathon:

Boston Wine Expo 2016
From Australia to Lebanon, Israel to France, Italy to the United States, the Red Balloon floated (everyone else needed to walk!) The wine was poured from pretty much every corner of the world and every country on the map. As an added bonus: no passport was needed.
From Portugal, there was Vinho Verde. A fun fact is that the wine itself is not actually green, it instead tends to be white. The word "verde" refers not to the color of the wine but to the fact that the grapes are picked typically within the first three months. Although the name translates literally to "green wine" it is actually called a "young wine." The Red Balloon thought it to be a perfect match!
If you have been searching for a dessert wine, you've come to the right place (see it in the BWE glass above.) The Red Balloon conducted extensive research while at the Boston Wine Expo, tasting numerous wines to find just the right dessert wine. Bartenura's Malvasia Di Casorzo, from Italy, is THE dessert wine. It is sweet and an absolute delight on the palate. Once you taste this wine, you won't even want dessert!
Speaking of dessert, there was no shortage of sweets at the BWE. That was thanks to Montilio's Baking Company which provided an assortment of cupcakes, tiramisu, cheesecake, fruit tarts, and a made to order cannoli station (a favorite of The Red Balloon.) (Okay so perhaps one can make room for dessert after all!)
