Wine Country Bistro’s legendary wine festival, Wine and Swine, hosted the ninth gathering in their new location on Line Avenue in South Highlands. Even with larger restaurant space, the festivities spilled out into the parking lot, where Easy Money provided the musical entertainment for the hundreds of guests attending. One of the unique experiences was a special dish created by several chefs from the Louisiana Food Prize competition. Each chef added several ingredients to the same pot to create a truly tasty and unique dish. Dozens of wines were poured, and there were plenty of other food dishes like cheesy potato-stuffed grilled chicken.
