We did something a little bit different this week on The Sipping Point radio. We broadcast this week’s show from the 30th annual Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, CO where the Who’s Who of Food & Wine have come together for a 3 day event that is both exciting and delicious! We talked to world-renowned wine critic Antonio Galloni of The Wine Advocate, we caught up with Andrea Robinson, Master Sommelier and chatted up head Thirsty Girl Leslie Sbrocco.
