    Meeting the King of Spain in South Beach

    I had the most amazing experience ever in my public relations career last weekend at the 2009 South Beach Wine & Food Festival in Miami, Fla.  It was the most incredible event I’ve ever been to –top tier media and celebrity chefs everywhere I went!   I was there representing a client, the Wines from Spain, and the biggest highlight of the weekend was when Their Majesties the King and Queen of Spain, Juan Carlos I and Sofia, made an appearance at the Wines from Spain Pavilion to kick off the festival.  It was a momentous day for Spanish wines and I was thrilled to be a part of it!  I even got to shake the King’s hand. 

    The next day, I met Natalie Morales from the Today Show – she stopped by the Pavilion and I was happy to learn that she’s a fan of Spanish wines!  She was extremely nice and great to talk to.  I met so many incredible journalists at the festival and savored the great food of Miami.  It was an unforgettable weekend!
