March brings out the big guns of local wine and food to revel in Washington Wine.

The grape juice of Washington will be honored throughout the month of March by way of featured promotions and events from restaurants, retailers, hotels and wineries in the state, all for the wine consumers’ benefit. Taste Washington, the nation’s largest single-region wine and food event, will cap the month off as a two-day event on March 31st and April 1st at Centurylink Field Event Center. Book one, book all, just make sure to come thirsty.

Forget the cheesy halftime shows and trivial gridiron rivalries, the real Super Bowl — the one that gets our blood boiling and hearts racing — is next month. And it calls for more of a celebration than pigskin-shaped sliders and triple-cheese chili.

Taste Washington, the Super Bowl of Washington Wine events, features more than 200 Washington state wineries each pouring up to three of their wines, and more than 75 leading Seattle-area restaurants offering mouth-watering bites at Qwest Field Event Center on March 27.
