Tasty times at the Foothills Wine & Food Experience (Taste of Loveland)
We had a ton of fun and food at the 5th Annual Taste of Loveland, held on April 22 at Embassy Suites. This year’s theme was Foothills Wine & Food Experience, but it could have been called the Foothills Wine, Beer & Food Experience. Not only did 30 area restaurants attend, so did 34 wine distributors, as well as a large number of local breweries and national beer distributors.

I recently discovered Mandolin Cafe at 210 East 4th Street in Loveland, Colorado. This relatively new addition to downtown, is a funky coffee shop with a musical soul. Last Thursday evening, Stoll Vaughan, a singer/songwriter and stellar guitarist played a free show at Mandolin Cafe.

Loveland, known as the “Sweetheart City,” has been re-mailing Valentine’s Day cards since 1946.
