Denver Food and Wine was a don’t-miss event

The 11th annual Denver Food and Wine fest week culminated in the Grand Tasting Saturday on the Metro State campus Saturday.

This year, by taking over the soccer grounds, the festival, which attracts roughly 3,000 foodie folks, was spread out with plenty of room for sippers and snackers.

Highlights included cooking demonstrations from celebrity Chef Rick Tramanto of Chicago and Boulder-born Gabe Kennedy (swoon), winner of ABC’s “The Taste”. Not to mention, our own Elise Wiggins, owner of Panzano.

The event was so huge that I couldn’t even get to every venue, which included a Patron bar “truck”, and lounges sponsored by various vendors whose products are distributed by Southern Wine and Spirits.

It’s a don’t-miss event every year.
