*New* 2009 International Food and Wine Festival guide

[eeyoreguy]

I love reading through these guides and seeing all the options that are going to be available. 2009 presents the usual dazzling array of food and wine options!

Wine seminars, culinary demonstrations and much much more!

Far too much to mention here so take a look at the 40 page guide (note, this is a VERY large file to download so it's going to take you a while to grab it)
