Savor Dallas is fast approaching – this week!  Savor is the Granddaddy of all food and wine events in the area and we will be covering this live.

There is so much information that we will allow their press release to speak for itself today:

The 7th annual Savor Dallas, March 18-19, is a “Celebration of Wine, Food, Spirits and the Arts.” The largest premium wine and food event in Texas is dedicated to showcasing the finest chefs in Dallas-Fort Worth, some of the world’s best beverages, and the renaissance of Downtown Dallas and the Arts District while recognizing industry leaders.
