Local!

Come to this page for information on local food and wine events in your area. Specifically, I will be posting info on Farmers' Markets (love them!) and wine festivals. Since the website is just starting, I am going to be building this page from scratch, and appreciate very much any info you can share from your region. You can email me at VegetarianLite@gmail.com. I'm starting out here with the localities closest to me (i.e., in Virginia).
