Austin Food & Wine Festival 2018 Recap
Another year, another AFW Festival under the belt. This was my second year to attend – last year Joel bought me a weekender pass as a gift, and this year I received a media pass! I was anticipating the AFW weekend since last year, and I can’t believe it’s already gone! Here are some highlights from my weekend at the festival:
