Food and Wine Show

My daughter and I attended the Food and Wine Show today in Madison, WI, at the Alliant Energy Center exhibition hall.

Some people think that these kind of events are for rich people, which isn't true. Most of the wine costs about $10 to $20 a bottle. And the beer is even less espensive.

Once we paid the fee at the door, everything else was free. And the best way to find out which wine you like is to sample many different kinds. My wife and I have discovered that we like the sweeter wines. And I tend to like either the lighter beers or the very dark beers.

My favorite was the Blueberry Mead at the White Winter Winery booth. My second favorite drink was the pumpkin spice coffee at the Cameron's Coffee booth.

There was a variety of things to drink and eat at the show: different kinds of cheese, wine, beer, pizza, barbecue sauce, and more. And there was a chef's cook off and cooking demonstrations. Some grocery stores and restaurants had samples and exhibits.

My daughter and I had a lot of fun at this show on this rainy day in Madison.
