Looks like there are enough Wine Festival already established for the Denver area. The promoters of the new Colorado International Wine Festival have decided to postpone their event until Spring 2014.
We wish them luck! There are more than 100 wine festivals in Colorado alone and perhaps wineries and distributors are feeling that they need to preserve their wine and energy.

So seriously did he take this dish that he even selected a special chef for the White House who was a master at cooking a good Turtle Soup. Today a small group of restaurants across the country have Turtle Soup on their regular menus. The largest concentration of restaurants with Turtle Soup on their menus is found in America’s foodiest city, New Orleans!

During the cold war it had a reputation for being “the Paris” of Eastern Europe. The city is actually a combination of two cities Buda and Pest that are separated by the Duna (Hungarian) or Danube River. When I first visited Budapest in 1992, the inhabitants were still trying to grasp with their newly obtained freedom. The Soviet Union was officially dissolved. While this was mainly positive, some locals resented the jump in expenses that they incurred with freedom.
