This event is an annual thing sponsored by the Lodi-Woodbridge Winegrape Commission. Most of the wineries in the Lodi area are participating. The theme is, obviously, wine and chocolate. I personally dislike chocolate and wine - kinda like ketchup on ice cream - unless it’s a port with certain kinds of chocolate desserts. So, we’re having chocolate-rubbed grilled beef.

We don’t know what to expect in terms of crowd numbers. The Winter Wine Wander event wasn’t as busy as we expected and other folks have told us this one is a big event. We’ll see.
