We went to the opening night of the Food and Wine Festival last evening and it was a good time.
As, always we enjoyed the trip to the North Market and had some very good wines and a few not-so-good ones and a great dinner at Firdous Express.
We are spoiled by Vintage Ohio, so we felt that quarters were quite crowded for t
he event.
We did enjoy the trip, and Toby even found a new “favorite” to add to his list. The Marechal Foch from Bryan’s Stoney Ridge Winery was superb.
As to dinner, Gretchen had her usual gyro and enjoyed it greatly. I tried the Lamb with Egyptian Okra and spicy rice and also tossed in a rolled Grape Leaf. All of these were new experiences for me and the everything was excellent. The spicy rice would have gone wonderfully with the flavor of a bottle of Marechal Foch, however it would have made it hard for me to then drive home.
If you want to visit the Festival, it runs from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. today and 1 - 6 p.m. on Sunday and is located at the North Market (52 Spruce St.) in Columbus’ Arena District.Â
