Win International Wine & Food Fest Tickets!

Get your comments ready, folks. It's another tasty giveaway!

The 11th annual International Wine and Food Festival is coming up Feb. 11-14, and Metrocurean is giving away a pair of tickets to Sunday's Grand Tasting. (Perfect Valentine's Day date, yes?)

Leave a comment on this post by Thursday at 10 a.m., and I'll choose one winner at random to receive the pair of tickets. (You must be 21 to attend.) Check back Thursday to see if you've won.

The festival is filled with all kinds of delicious happenings — from a kickoff party at PS 7's to brunch at Ris for DC Central Kitchen — but the main attraction will be Saturday and Sunday's Grand Tasting and Street-Fare Food Pavilion, from 2-6 p.m. at the Ronald Reagan Building. (The winner gets tickets to Sunday's tasting and pavilion.)

At the tasting, 100 international wineries will pour more than 600 wines. The International Food Pavilion will serve dishes from around the globe (Australian lamb, mini falafel, gelato) paired with wines.

For complete information and tickets, check out wineandfooddc.com.

My boyfriend will be in Detroit for Valentine's Day. If I could get some delicious eats and 600 types of wine to keep me warm on Feb. 14th, that would be a pretty good alternative!

Food, wine, weekend- a great way to relax for a full-time employed, part-time student. And there should be something to offset the hassle of metro closures during those days.

I sing for Riesling, I've been a gigalo for a good Grigio, if I had my way, it would be Chardonnay, and as they say: Que Sera, Syrah. In short I heart wine please make those tickets mine.

Feb 14 is my Birthday (for real). Trying to go to a restaurant for some really good food and wine on that day tends to be.. a challenge. This would be a really wonderful solution to that problem.

ENTERTAIN } For The Love Of Salt

Image
I'm bidding a reluctant adieu to summer on this first day of fall and looking back with fond memories on one of the season's highlights — our Summer Salt Fest at the Gordy's Pickle Jar headquarters. Ever since opening Salt & Sundry three years ago, I've been dreaming of a down-home party that celebrates all things salty. With the perfect partners in crime, Sarah and Sheila of Gordy's, and my phenomenal team at Salt & Sundry, we hosted a gathering of good friends and toasted our shared love of salt. The feast included fried chicken, boiled peanuts ( made by my husband !), Rappahannock' s Olde Salt oysters, deviled eggs topped with Gordy's Sweet Pepper Relish, and probably the best fried pickles I've ever eaten (yes, I've eaten a lot) ... Gordy's Sweet Chips and Cajun Okra dipped in roasted garlic aioli. There was crisp Virginia rosé from Early Mountain Vineyards , local brews from 3 Stars and DC Brau , and a watermelon cooler tha

STYLE } Bar Styling Tips with Framebridge

Image
  I've always been noncommittal when it come to putting anything on my walls. Art? Photos? Prints? But what if I change my mind? Add the hassle of framing something and voila, a growing pile of unframed prints and photos gathers dust on a shelf. So I much appreciated a recent gentle nudge from friends at  Framebridge , a DC-based company that's making it easier and less expensive to get those pretty-if-neglected pieces framed and on display. We hung out at my place, whipped up some Green Hat gin and tonics, and I shared tips for stocking and styling your bar at home. (Any old table will do!) And yes, I actually put a nail in the wall and hung a print. Head this way for my full interview with Framebridge . Cheers! all photos by  Laura Metzler Photography  for Framebridge

Hello Cupcake Opens

Image
Cupcakes await the first customers at Hello Cupcake For a sweet spot in this final week of August, head to Hello Cupcake , which opens at 10 a.m. today at 1351 Connecticut Ave. NW. I had the chance to sample a few flavors with owner Penny Karas. The fluffy icing on the peanut butter blossom (above) is seriously addictive, and the seasonal root beer flavor is a delightful surprise with spicy root beer cake topped with vanilla cream cheese frosting. I'm going for a Velvet Elvis, banana cake with peanut butter frosting, next. There are gluten-free and vegan options on the menu, as well. Check out all the flavors here . Metrocurean photo
