Food.Fun.Stuff: 1st. Annual Mediterranean Food Festival

We love Mediterranean food. After a friend of ours took a recent trip over to Greece, we have fell in love with the idea of visiting the Mediterranean. Living vicariously through our friend, we discovered a love for olive oils galore, olives that seem endless in every salad and beautiful architecture that tells a story of a truly rich culture. Awww...how we long for a trip to island hop along the Greek Isles...we digress...Until then, we are pleased that the District is bringing the Mediterranean to us. The 1st. Annual Mediterranean Wines Festival and Classes will be on September 30, 2009 @ the Whittemore House.

The Low Down: 30+ wines from 11 countries. Mediterranean appetizers. 3 seminars on Mediterranean wines, olive oil and diet. Enough said.
