Braly: Grilling fish at home
Bella Sera is Saturday, and I can’t wait. I attended for the first time last year — the first year that I didn’t have a conflict because of a child graduating from high school or college.
Renaissance Park is the perfect setting. It’s lush with wildflowers and has wonderful walkways. Last year, I went with friends and met others I haven’t seen in years. It was a reunion of sorts. What a great time.
This year, almost a dozen restaurants and food companies will showcase some of their finest culinary offerings, paired with free, unlimited samples of the event’s “house” wines. This year, there will be no food tokens. Visitors will eat until the food is gone, making it hassle-free.
Wine aficionados may want to join the Wine Lovers Select group. For an added $40, you’ll taste dozens of better wines, courtesy of Riverside Wine and Spirits, and sample foods from Lee Towery Catering, all under one tent. This was one of my favorite parts of Bella Sera last year.
