Just wanted to pass along an update to my previous post about The Bruery. They had originally planned to be open before the Street Fair, but of course, there were some hold-ups. They are anticipating to be open this month, in just a couple of weeks, no actual date is set though. If you want to learn more about The Bruery and their plans for the Old Towne Orange location, then click HERE for my original post. You can also visit their blog by clicking HERE.

It’s right around the corner, only a couple of weeks away and there’s great anticipation for this crazy-fun annual gathering of people (an estimated 500,000 of them) from all over the OC and beyond, called the Orange International Street Fair. I myself have been enjoying the Street Fair for a good many years now and while my enjoyment of the festivities has changed over the years as the kiddies have come along, I still make time to head on down with the fam for some great fare and a few beers…and we always run into people we know.

Just when I was drying my eyes over Old Towne’s loss of Frog’s Breathe, and one of my favorite pastimes – wine tasting – I have a reason to smile again. That reason is the soon-to-be Tasting Room which will be located within The Bruery Provisions, opening (hopefully) this August before the Orange International Street Fair.

I hooked up with Owner Patrick Rue, his lovely wife Rachel and Manager Stef Ferrari to get the inside scoop. Here’s what I learned.

As a resident of Orange for the past 8 years, I cannot believe that I have not known about the Taste of Orange. I say this because I love these types of events. Anytime someone puts together a bunch of restaurants for an evening, I’m pretty much in. So, I’m happy to report that the 5th Annual Taste of Orange is happening on April 25 from 4-7pm and I will be there with fork-in-hand!

As a foody, one of my favorite things to do is eat, of course. But tied with that is drinking wine. I am a wine lover, though not a connoisseur, and I love wine tasting. A couple of years ago, this amazing store opened up in Old Town Orange, a wine and cheese shop called Frog’s Breath Cheese Store. SO perfect for our quaint little town and right up my alley.
