Grape & Gourmet Right Behind Wine & Dine!

Grape & Gourmet
Spotlighting Sacramento’s emerging restaurant scene and regional wine production, the SCVB, California Restaurant Association and annual Grape & Gourmet state wine competition have partnered with almost 50 local restaurants to create “Wine & Dine Week”, scheduled for July 4 through July12. (But I mentioned that before, didn’t I?)

What I didn’t include is that the event serves as a culinary warm-up to the annual Grape & Gourmet California state wine competition, which is coming to the Sacramento Convention Center July 9 from 5:30 to 9PM. Grape & Gourmet features award-winning wineries from the California State Fair and welcomes nearly 50 restaurants and 800 award-winning California wines. Microbrews and live entertainment are just extra icing on the already-iced cake!

Advance tickets are $50 and can be purchased at tickets.com. For more information visit www.thebestcaliforniawine.com.
