If pigs could fly (into my mouth): wine and pork sounds a lot like heaven to me! If this is also your idea of a deliciously decadent good time, check the Pinot and Pork event kicking off at Tolosa Winery in Edna Valley this Aug. 13.

But seriously folks, the new menu includes fried green tomatoes, crunchy halibut sliders, a corned beef sando, deviled eggs, and duck tamales. Learn more at thespoontrade.com.
