Tweeting with @ssoli about this weekends #FoodWineShow taking place at #TargetField and @WMinneapolis. Lets go!
@ssoli is the Exec Director of Marketing & Events at @MNMOmag, so she’s the perfect person to share details about the #FoodWineShow.
So Sara, with this weekend being the 19th #FoodWineShow, is it getting easier to coordinate and plan?
Sara: I would say that we have a good system in place and great team that executes this event.
That’s great! Let first break down what’s going to be there in the way of wine & food options. How many varieties?
Sara: This year @MNMOmag #foodwineshow we have more than 200 vendors, 350 fine wines and 75 craft beers featured.
So a lot to choose from! Is the @MNMOmag #FoodWineShow exclusively MN products?
Sara: No, it is not exclusively MN but there are several to try. Including @mncraftbrew, @CannonRiverWine, @midwestpantry
In addition to being able to indulge in a variety of food and wine samples, what events are a part of the #FoodWineShow?
