Table Talk Online + This Week's Edible Events
The 15th annual festival takes place May 18 - 20, 2011
If they aren’t buried in their kitchens serving up graduation dinners, chefs around town are high tailing it to Nantucket this weekend for the 15th Annual Nantucket Wine Festival. Thursday Night will find a slew of them, including Ian Just (Les Zygomates), Deborah Hanson (Taberna de Haro) and Richard Garcia (606 Congress) at the Harbor Gala, set up inside the deliciously swank White Elephant Hotel.
Other local luminaries will make appearances at demos throughout the weekend (look for Ihsan Gurdal of Formaggio Kitchen and Andy Husbands of Tremont 647) as will island favorites Seth and Angela Raynor (The Pearl, Corazon del Mar and the Boarding House). Pack your bags and join them: There are still tickets available to events like this tasty Blackbird Winery Dinner taking place at American Seasons.
A few Chowder bloggers will be down there ready to fill you in on all of the festival fun. See you there?
