Just as in France, Italy, Spain...any time is a fine time for wine during Wine Fest weekend. The Telluride Wine Festival is toasting 26 years of uncorking and finely finishing this gathering rooted in the decadent pairing of food and wine.
Master sommeliers and renowned chefs team up and blend foods from around the globe with wines from around the globe. Spanish wine was last year's starring vino and wine experts concentrated on the country's Rioja, Sherry, Albarino and Cava wine growing regions. Spanish wine experts and authors, Doug Frost and Gerry Dawes, spoke on the varietals and styles of what's called one of the greatest wine producing countries in the world.
Steve Olson returns to Wine Festival year after year, and last year he returned as Master of Ceremonies. Award-winning sommelier, author and teacher, Olson returned to teach the expansive and entertaining relationship between food and wine.
Cooking demonstrations, luncheons, seminars, reserve programs, and tastings, tastings, tastings make up the weekend. And if wine isn't your thing, Telluride Wine Festival is hosted a scotch and cigar evening, and fine tequila tastings.
