There are several Wine and Food events this weekend all across the country. I will be attending the Saratoga Springs Wine & Food Festival in New York on September 8th to participate in the Grand Tasting where one can sample over 200 vintages from around the world, nibble on savory morsels from well-known area restaurants, and enjoy presentations from some of the world’s leading wine and food experts. igourmet.com will be sampling cheeses at the event. I will be taking these cheeses to the show:
Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto
Grana Padano Stravecchio Oro del Tempo
We will also be attending these other events this week:
If you are able to attend any of the the shows please stop by and visit us!
Come see and sample the World’s Largest Fondue at downtown Fond du Lac’s free family festival, celebrating culture and community!
CULINARY CLIPS: FONDUE’S THE THING IN FOND DU LAC
Fondue in Fond du Lac? There will be plenty of it on Sept. 8, when the community tries to set a world record during its annual fall festival.
Monroe’s Roth Kase is providing more than 1,000 pounds of cheese for the four-beer, four-cheese fondue recipe, but event organizers aren’t getting more specific than that.
The recipe is being copyrighted, says Lesley Manowske, interim director of the Downtown Fond du Lac Partnership, host of the event. She has tasted a small-batch version of the fondue and teases that it’s great.
Why fondue? Manowske’s response is a bit of silence. “It’s a play on words” between city and food, she explains, sounding slightly irritated, “and we have a large cheese and dairy industry in this area.”
It’s also an attempt to attract state and national attention to the Lake Winnebago city of 42,000 residents.
