The night started when I met up with the OG Food Marathoner, prolific food writer and photographer extraordinaire Mattatouille (and his girl master Christine), and the talented culinary adventurer Food GPS.

Last night the Wine House hosted their 9th Annual Italian Fest at their Upstairs 2 restaurant. I lost count at 10. There were about 60 different wines from all over Italy.
