Minnesota Monthly’s 2009 Food & Wine Experience

The Minnesota Monthly Food & Wine Experience provides an opportunity to sample wines from around the country and parts of the world. It’s a reasonable way to try before you buy, so you don’t waste money on wines that don’t strike your fancy. There are also a lot of Twin Cities restaurants there, sampling their signature dishes, cheese makers sampling their cheese along with a plethora of other tasty new food items to nibble on.

This year, eight local chefs will compete for a cash prize in The Local Chef Challenge. They’ll have one hour to create something scrumptious from a pantry filled with food items, spices and other ingredients. If you like watching the food network, you’ll want to be there for the final round this Sunday.

It’s this weekend, Friday, February 28th and March 1st at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Saturday is already sold out.
