Ticket Giveaway: 2011 Gourmet Food & Wine Expo #gfwe

I don't do very many of these sorts of promotions, but I was pleased when the folks at Toronto's Gourmet Food and Wine Expo contacted me to see whether I'd be interested in giving away some tickets to tomorrow's VIP Preview Evening. I really enjoy going, partly because I'm sure to bump into people I like and partly because it seems like a cheerful way to face the coming chilly season, but mainly because I find it educational. It gives me a chance to try lots of wines (and beers and spirits) that I might not otherwise taste. In particular, of course, I'm especially interested in local wines, but it's also great to learn more about wine from Chile, Germany, Austria and other locales.

The preview runs from 6 to 10 p.m. tomorrow, Thursday, November 17 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. I have two pairs of tickets to give away. Each pair gives you free admission; once inside, you can purchase strips of 20 $1 tickets to sample food and drink. To win, be the first person after 3 p.m. or the first person after 4 p.m. Toronto time to leave a comment below responding to the following questions. (Remember, I need an email address or some other way to contact you so I can send you the code you'll need to claim your tickets!)

Which of the Tutored Tastings at this year's Gourmet Food and Wine Expo interests you most? Or is there a wine-related topic not covered that you'd be keen to learn about?

See you there!
