In his autobiography, Harvest of Joy, Robert Mondavi wrote, “Wine to me is passion.  It's family and friends.  It's warmth of heart and generosity of spirit.  Wine is art.  It's culture.  It's the essence of civilization and the art of living.”

Those sampling wines at the Columbus Food & Wine Affair Grand Tasting 2008 will quickly understand Mondavi’s statement. Wines from around the world  will be featured, showcasing a variety of textures, flavors, regions and varietals. Vintners and professionals will also be on hand to share their featured wines, knowledge and stories of their industry.  With more than 450 wines to choose from, the novice or expert taster will not be disappointed.
