Two of my favorite events are coming together in the same week. Life is good.
All week, Sacramento Wine & Dine is taking place at restaurants throughout the region. From Andaloussia to Zocalo, restaurants are offering three and four course meals (usually with wine) at severely reduced prices. Check out their website for participating restaurants, menus, and reservations. Check out ‘Rag favorites Tuli Bistro, 58 Degrees, Enotria, Esquire Grill, Il Forno Classico, L, Slocum House, and The Firehouse. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still not cheap dining by any means, but if you’re holding out for a fine meal at a screaming price, it’s hard to beat.
The highlight of the week, however, is the Grape and Gourmet. An extension of the State Fair and the Sac Convention and Visitors Bureau, the G&G is the tits. Every wine there is a State Fair medal winner, every restaurant there brings out its best quick bites, every person there is beautiful and smells like an alpine meadow. This year marks the first year that the event moves off the grounds of Cal Expo and is to be held downtown at the Convention Center.
The event is on Thursday, July 9, starting at 5:30pm. Tix are $50 or less with a $5 coupon through this link. Come on down, look for me, or better yet, look for Poppy!

Sounds fun and hoity-toity. For the blue-collar crowd, the “other best food in Sacramento” is coming by way of fried [insert name of edible, if not food-like, substance here] delicacies during the August State Fair!!
