Taste of Windsor 2014
If you love food and drink, join other foodies at the fourth annual First Town Downtown (FTDT) Taste of Windsor on Saturday, March 8th from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm in Loomis Chaffee's Dining Hall. The evening will be filled with a wide variety of appetizers and main dish samplings donated by Windsor's own unique restaurants, which include Dom’s Broad Street Eatery, Get Baked, RC Grille at the Hartford/Windsor Marriott, Nat Hayden’s Real Pit BBQ, Bart’s Beanery, Bears Smokehouse BBQ, Izote Southwest Grill, Moneta Moments, Union Street Tavern, Windsor 75 and more.

You'll also enjoy a wine tasting by Bert's Spirit Shoppe of Windsor Locks, beer tastings by Back East Brewing of Bloomfield and Broad Brook Brewery of East Windsor AND a moonshine tasting by Onyx Moonshine of East Hartford. There will also be silent and tea cup auctions throughout the night so you can browse the donated items and get a great deal on some highly sought after gift certificates and other prizes. Enjoy live music provided by Fence Incident!

There will be a chance to win a diamond pendant donated by Bill Selig Jewelers. To qualify, just buy one of 100 FTDT glasses filled with wine and you'll get the wine, an engraved FTDT wine glass, a cubic zirconia gem as well as a chance to win the real diamond, all for $25.

Tickets are $35. Tickets must be bought in advance. The event sold out last year.
