Vegas Uncork’d: Afterhours at Tom Colicchio’s Craftsteak

This was the first 2011 Vegas Uncork’d event that my BF and I went to. Craftsteak is a great place, it has ample seating room and a very nice, large bar when you walk in (where oysters were being shucked). For this event, Gregg M and I decided to mainly walk around and network/​engage in as much food/​drink as we could. The first course: A selection of Waygu — three different cuts, all succulent and tender. Across from it were other hors d’oeuvres to include onion rings, bruchetta (and a host of other things that appeared throughout the night that I fail to remember). There were also some sushi/​sashimi offerings in another room. There were numerous wines presented from cabs to pinots (I’m sure there were a few whites, but I usually don’t take up room in my stomach for those). In addition to the wines, there was representation from Avion tequila and Bulleit Bourbon. A very enjoyable evening and I even got my picture taken with the man himself. Would do this event again if offered next year!
