A Foodie Week-End
I have never been so taken with food-centered events like this past weekend. The FoodBuzz Festival was in San Francisco, filled with chances to meet fellow bloggers and eat delicious food, and Donato Enoteca held its first Enoteca 100 event, where more than 100 different varietals of Italian wines were opened for tasting in Redwood City. What a time!
Enoteca 100 was a blast. You can read more detailed description at The Iron Chevsky Blog, but it was worth going even without the wine just based on the porchetta. Delicious!
Then, the FoodBuzz event, where I ate, drank and mingled with other food bloggers- many way more successful than myself! I particularly like this picture of me with Marc of No Recipes, where we were just plainly joking about the “celebrity blogger” status…
A lot of great bloggers have already written more than their share about the event, with better imaginery and a lot of details- please take a look at The Leftover Queen (LOVE the picture of me an Jenn together!), Taste Tests, Foodhoe’s Foraging, and Food Wishes- wonderful summaries of the events! I personally loved our Outstanding in the Field setting (sorry guys, did not love the food!)…

awww, thanks for the linky love! they really transformed that urban warehouse setting into a magical dining pavillion didn’t they? That Enoteca event looked great too.
Hi Vanessa! It was great meeting you!
You didn’t like the food at the Greenleaf? Did you get to try the dessert…I didn’t, and I wondered what it was like!
Vanessa – very sorry I could not make it to Enoteca 100 — looks like it was a great event. Mike
It was great meeting you “Heidi” and I have enjoyed spending a bit of time on your truly informative blog this morning. I hope our paths cross again. GREG
Vanessa, thanks for the link to my Enoteca 100 post.
You might want to give Michael Tucker’s “Living in a Foreign Language” book a try – memoir of love for Italy from a TV actor and epicure based out of Marin County (who bought a house in Umbria) – great read for a passionate foodie.
Best regards,
IronC.
Thanks Gary- great post you had! I will take a look at Tucker’s book, thanks for the recommendation! Ciao!
