I attended the 12th Annual International Wine & Food Festival in February at the Ronald Reagan Building.  It was a great show with an amazing selection of wines. I got to try some wines I’d never even heard of before, and there was a huge selection of wines to try.  I definitely need to go back next year.

I’ve just received info on the 4th Annual National Harbor Wine & Food Festival, which returns May 14th and 15th.  At the show last year, I competed in a grilling contest “So, You Think You Can Grill” with this recipe.

This year, one of the judges of my contest (David Zino) will be presenting, as will Lauren DeSantis of Capital Cooking.  I’ve had the pleasure of running into her often at foodie events lately.
