Savor is coming back to the Hartford Convention Center April 7-9. This is one of the best wine and food events around anywhere, and you can read our review of last year’s event here. We heartily recommend it. There will be great wine, great food and it’s all helping to support our men and women of the armed forces through the Robert Irvine Foundation.
