Five foods, Five wines, Five Dollars

I know it's a little late warning for today's event but one of the things Mark and I really enjoy on a Friday evening is Whole Foods "Friday at Five".  

Friday at Five allows guests to mosey around Whole Foods Market and try five different food and wine pairings.  Typically they are presented in a way to create a meal so it includes a mini appetizer, salad, side and entree tastes and finishes with a small dessert.   To participate you can buy a punch card at the customer service desk.  5 Foods, 5 Wines, 5 Dollars - What a deal!

A few things you might want to keep in mind before going, don't expect this to be dinner, it's a 5 dollar tasting, chances are you will still want to supplement the tasting with some more food.  Slow down, the first time I did this I got overwhelmed with being in a grocery store and not knowing what to do with myself and I felt like I rushed it.  I have since noticed that the employees doing the wine pours and sampling are happy to chat and probably relieved to not be standing there silent.  Finally, take the promotional info with you.  I forgot mine and really wished I had the name of a few of the wines to buy them again.
