Wine & Food Week 2014: Sips, Suds & Sliders

Foodies and wine-lovers, mark your calendars for Houston’s Wine & Food Week 2014.

If drinking a fine wine is like magic — mysterious, spellbinding, hypnotic — then celebrating 10 magical years of Wine & Food Week will be nothing short of supernatural. Drawing culinary masters and wine experts from around the world, Wine & Food Week uncorks June 2nd – June 8th with scores of events featuring more than 500 wines, 50 restaurants, and legendary wine producers and culinary personalities.

It’s a Texas-size party, second to none. Grab your partner and head over to Wine & Food Week’s Sips, Suds & Sliders, presented by The Woodlands Mall on Friday, June 6 from 6pm to 9pm at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott and Convention Center, 1601 Lake Robbins Dr., The Woodlands, TX 77380.

But be forewarned – after selling out for the past two years, you don't want to wait to get your tickets and be turned away as your stomach growls from the yummy smells.

The doors open at 6:00 pm for wine and craft beer sampling. The aroma of meat searing on the grill will rev up your appetite.

At 6:30 the sliders are served, and then it's "game on!"  You'll choose your favorite slider while the judges choose their sliders. Restaurants and chefs will compete for the coveted Shining Slider Award.

Join Jim Mackenzie – comedian with mad skills, as seen on NBC's Last Comic Standing – as he performs his one-man comedy show. The show includes juggling, sword swallowing, whip cracking, unicycling, and more. Find the magic at facebook.com/JimsShow.
