First Annual Wine Country Wine Tasting a Success

Augusta's newest wine and food tasting event paired quite nicely with a plentiful serving of country music last Saturday evening. Over 1,400 people were treated to music by singer/songwriters and Georgia/ South Carolina natives Pat Cooper and Matt Chase, followed by an outstanding acoustic set from Craig Morgan. Over 30 different wines were available to try, most of which were paired with small samples of food from a variety of local restaurants including: Oliviana Ristorante, Finch & 5th, South Bound Smokehouse, The Boll Weevil, and many more. The event was a great opportunity for both small local restaurants to promote their product to a large audience, and also for citizens of the Greater Augusta area to find their favorite new restaurant to begin frequenting. The First Choice booth was the perfect spot to watch the show. While in the booth, attendees could sit in our "living room" to take a break from all the action, or take a tour of our "kitchen" featuring a gorgeous Old World style kitchen island with granite countertop. Sponsors at the wine tasting were giving away lots of great gifts including First Choice Home Builders! We gave away 4 gifts with the best 2 being a Yeti Hopper 30 cooler bag and a Vinotemp 28-bottle wine refrigerator. Everyone who signed up at our booth, however, did walk away with one of our wine-themed cork coasters. We can't wait for next year! Were you at the event? If so, be sure to post your photos and tag @firstchoicehomebuilders. We have a lot of those adorable coasters left, so if you tag us in your photo and use #homesthatlast we'll send you one of the coasters in the mail!
