As I sit here writing, it is 48 degrees outside, but by Saturday we are supposed to be in the low eighties again, having an all-around beautiful weekend. Record-setting cold in MAY!

More Vignettes from 2013 Austin Food & Wine Fest

The change of venue made a huge difference. Instead of dog park dust in our eyes and our wine glasses, we got the soft green grass of Butler Park.
