Award-winning wines and unbelievable food tasting drew hundreds of guests from our community to the 9th Annual Columbus Food & Wine Affair Grand Tasting, held Friday, September 23. With more than 350 wines to choose from and delicious tastings from over 45 of Central Ohio's finest restaurants, guests feasted on oysters, sushi, beef and beautifully created desserts that they easily paired with the myriad of wines being poured.

As they strolled through the Conservatory, Outdoor Terrance and Grand Mallway, they watched as chef after chef demonstrate how to prepare some of the restaurants most delicious offerings. A Master Ice Carver and Sand-Master entertained the guests throughout the evening along a Mallway brightened with colorful lighting, abundant foliage and the latest Conservatory exhibit, all added to the ambience as guests savored the most spectactular Grand Tasting to date. While music drifted through the night, those attending enjoyed the creativity and items showcased by premier artists and retailers.

So much to do and so many to benefit, as the 2011 Columbus Food &Wine Affair Grand Tasting proceeds benefit the WBNS 10-TV Family Fund, Central Ohio Restaurant Association Foundation, Columbus College of Art & Design and many more.

"The Columbus Food & WIne Affair Grand Tasting is an ideal event for Columbus. The people here appreciate deliciously prepared foods paired with wines that complement. And, they know their involvement is contributing to a number of very deserving local charities. The event continues to grow, because we have such wonderful support."
Greg Maurer, Hedelberg Distributing, Founder - Columbus Food & Wine Affair
