Charlotte, NC Wine and Food Festival

[wondersofwine]

The food scene has changed. Several "French bistros" which serve foods like sweetbreads that never would have sold in the 80's. Several tapas or "small plate" restaurants. A seafood and sushi restaurant with a good complementary wine list and Pacific Rim or Asian fusion-type preparations, etc. Bonterra (in a converted Baptist church) is both a restaurant and a wine-tasting locale as is Oneo. Regrettably, one restaurant, Bijoux, that I liked for the food, wine and decor (but pricy and often slow service) has closed. Dean & Deluca is another place for tasting wine in small pours or in flights.
