YFE – Humpday Happy Hours at Enoteca

Heather, thank you for another great Unilocal event! And a HUGE thank you for the all the work you did putting this together. It was a gorgeous night and I loved meeting fellow Unilocalers.
Thanks for an awesome time!

Lovely patio for summer dining. Nice array of tapas — chorizo puffs,; charcuterie platters of cheeses and divine serano and chorizo. (Pickles, dried apricots and walnuts are a good touch.); potatoes with aioli dipping sauce. The desert — figs soaked in bourbon for 24 hours, stufffed with a marcona almond and covered in chocolate were fabulous. Move over Ruth Hunt!
Many thanks to the Brewer’s for their hospitality.

Another great Unilocal event! Very much enjoyed the company and meeting new Unilocalers. The food from Enoteca was great. I’ve been there before a few times and always enjoyed the food. The patio was great. Enjoyed sitting outside in the nice weather. Thanks again Heather, and Enoteca. It was great!

CHOCOLATE-​COVERED BOURBON-​SOAKED FIGS!
So good. One of my favorite treats from this event.
And, ahhhh, I had the most excellent time at this sweet intimate event! I was so happy to meet some of the Lexington Unilocalers — who are all so warm and welcoming (and full of information — I swear, I should have brought a notepad to write down everyone’s suggestions).
Enoteca is stunning. The building is cozy and modern, with vintage flair, brick walls, and industrial lighting. We all sat on the beautiful patio, which was the perfect setting for this event. And the weather cooperated! Such a beautiful night. The owners are sweet and seem very passionate about what they’re doing. I loved t hat they came out to share some information and socialize with us. Since I’m a vegetarian, I wasn’t able to sample most of the small plates they had out for us, but the potatoes were mouth-​watering deliciousness and the cheese/​bread made my tummy happy. Plus, those chocolate figs?! A flavor explosion in my mouth! So much better than I thought they would be. Jerry A. was also generous enough to buy a bottle of wine to share (Kentucky laws prohibit complimentary samples of alcohol), which was the perfect match for the meal. All in all, a lovely evening.
I can’t wait to try Enoteca again, and I’m so thrilled to be part of the wonderful growing Unilocal community in Lexington. Thank you for putting this together, Heather! :)
