Your Wandering Wino is wandering down to Atlanta this weekend to sample some food and wine at ... well, the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival. But far be it from him to leave you in a lurch without some advice on where to get your taste on.

If you're willing to put some miles on yourself, there's a Wine & Food Pairing event coming up on June 4 at 7 p.m. hosted by the DelMonaco Winery in Baxter, Tenn. That's a little less than an hour and a half east of Nashville on I-40 if you want to make the haul. You'll be rewarded with a gourmet four-course tasting meal expertly paired with DelMonaco Wine and some great live music.

Tickets are $40, and there is limited seating. Since this is a winery sponsored-event, if you join their Cellar Club or Barrel Club, you'll get half off the ticket price. Visit the winery's website for more information.

Fido and Bounty Bev are proud to present a "Craft Beer in a Can" dinner next Wednesday, May 25, at 7 p.m. Just $35 (plus tax and tip) will get you a four-course meal prepared by Chef John Stephenson and accompanying malty treats from Bounty Bev.
