The holiday season has once again come and gone. Festive decorations and strings of twinkle lights have been packed away for another year. The warm months of summer seem far away and you might be longing for something to chase away the winter doldrums. Everyone knows that delicious food, lovingly prepared and graciously served can satisfy the senses and comfort the soul. But did you know that Washington State is home to the largest single-region wine and food festival in the nation?
