March 4-7
Charleston is ready to showcase its culinary strength as a destination city for fine and regional dining at its upcoming fifth annual BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival, slated for March 4-7, 2010. Notwithstanding the focus on wine, beer gets its own moment in the sun at Cypress and at Carolina's on Sat., March 7. And bourbon gets paired with ‘cue at Jim ‘N Nick's. Proceeds benefit Louie's Kids and Slow Food Charleston, as well as other culinary-related charities. Tickets are priced per each event, and range from $50-$750. The latter sum admits the ticket holder to a penthouse dinner for 60 prepared by the vaunted Daniel Boulud. Top it all off with proper mint juleps at the Lowcountry Gospel Brunch on Sun.
