Wine, Beer & Food Festival 2012

Now in its fifth year, the festival draws a huge crowd, and understandably so. Wine, beer, food, and miscellaneous vendors are jammed into every corner of the 40,000 square foot space.  A myriad of wine varieties were presented, there was a too-crowded-to-walk-through craft beer hall, opportunities for shots of delicious vodka, and the food was mostly very, very good.

Some people preferred texting to tasting.

Others waited in a line a block long for a Bloody Mary.

All in all, it was a great crowd with very entertaining vendors. 

Free photos were a big draw.

After about  2 1/2 hours, we started to head out but not before stopping by the cordials/dessert vendors.  All in all, it was an organized, well set-up event and one not to be missed. We're looking forward to 2013 with plans to attend more of the wine and food pairings.
