The Rocky Mountain Food and Wine Festival is back in Edmonton! A two evening food and drink extravaganza, this is Alberta's largest food and wine festival, and this year is being held on November 2nd and 3rd at the Shaw Conference Centre, Halls A - C.

I had a fabulous time there last year, check out my review here. 

'The Edmonton Rocky Mountain Wine & Food Festival is back for two days of indulgence, offering a little something for everyone. The Grand Tasting Hall will be bustling with more food and beverage exhibitors than ever before, leaving taste buds seduced and craving more. The Festival offers the opportunity to sample an extensive variety of world-class wine, scotch, premium spirits, import and micro-brewed beer along with gourmet culinary creations from local restaurants, hotels and food purveyors.  

On November 2nd and 3rd the City of Champions can look forward to enjoying an evening of wine and culinary bliss at the 2012 Edmonton Rocky Mountain Wine & Food Festival. Returning to celebrate the Festival’s 11th year of deliciousness, attendees can sample from an impressive selection of wine, spirits, beer and cuisine showcased by a diverse group of local restaurants, food purveyors, and hotels'

This year's focus is on organic wines and fruit infused beers, and sounds pretty exciting with dishes like Bison Gyoza, Reverend Rundle Stout Braised Bison, my favourite Butter Chicken Samosa and Port & Pomegranate Truffle! 

If these dishes and wines and beers are making you feel excited, then you'll love that I have two pairs of tickets to give away to the Friday (November 2nd) evening session, which runs from 4 - 10 PM. All you have to do to enter to win one pair is leave a comment on this post as to why you'd like to go to the festival and what you are looking forward to the most. That's it. I will be doing a random draw on the 31st of October and will announce two winners here at 5 PM. 

What are you waiting for? Comment away! And as you all know flattery won't help your winning chances, but it will certainly make me feel great :)
