Connecticut Wine Festival

The last weekend of July found 14 of Connecticut’s vineyards sharing their wares at the Connecticut Wine Festival.

I know what you’re thinking–it’s a roach coach; what could be so fabulous about that? This is different. Wholesome, homemade foods that tickle your tastebuds without killing them.

Delicious food, some wine, and an inspired musical performance by participants were shared by all, surrounded by twinkling Christmas lights and the current Illegitimate Offspring of Da Da show pieces.Those who were not able … [Read more…]
