Food & Wine Festival 2015: Desserts & Champagne

So I may have lied before when I said that the Cheese Studio was the only "non-country" booth we visited. We also went to Desserts & Champagne. It must have slipped my mind when I posted that before. Not sure how it could because our Desserts & Champagne experience was magnificent!

This booth was our final one of Monday evening, making it stop #6 of the day and #11 of the trip!


At Desserts & Champagne, we only enjoyed a dessert, no champagne (we had plenty of that in our room the night before!) There were many, many delicious things to choose from, but we decided on the Frozen S'mores. I'd had that a few years ago with my mom, and we loved it. It was definitely just as good the 2nd time around! Ean thought it was amazing! And I have to agree. It is made with Monin marshmallow syrup, which is so good. It was a chocolaty marshmallow drink filled with graham cracker crumbs and topped with graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate shavings. So much yum in one little cup!!


The champagnes they offered were Nicolas Feuillatte Blanc de Blancs, Moet & Chandon Imperial, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin "Yellow Label", Dom Perignon, Moet & Chandon Nectar Imperial, and Nicholas Feuillatte Rose. It all sounds so super fancy. I feel like most people went for the desserts at this booth, which were far easier to pronounce, haha. Or maybe it was because the little tastes of champagne were like $13 each. The Dom Perignon was $32! It must be some darn good champagne for a little sample to cost so much.

The other tasty dessert options, besides the ever so wonderful frozen s'mores, included a chocolate cherry explosion (looked good, but maybe too chocolatey), a strawberry-basil champagne toast (looked like some strawberry pudding-like stuff on top of a beverage... also, not real sure about the strawberry basil combination?!), orange blossom brewery toasted coconut porter float with caramel ice cream, cream soda float with caramel ice cream (now that's more my speed!), and Guylian Belgian chocolate seashell truffles.

After we enjoyed our frozen s'mores, we rode Spaceship Earth, then dealt with our wine purchase ordeal (as I discussed earlier in my Scotland post...).


None of the parks were open real late on Monday night. I believe Epcot was the latest, and it stayed open until 9. We left around 8 and felt like we still had a whole night left. We went back to our hotel and ordered a pizza, drank some wine, and watched cable TV, something we don't get to do at home since we only get local channels that come through on the antenna. We watched some shows about tiny living, where people buy houses that are only a few hundred square feet, something we could never do! It was very fun and relaxing!
