Milwaukee Wine Festival joins lakefront scene

A new festival is joining the lakefront scene, and this one won’t be all about the beer.

The Milwaukee Wine Festival, offering samples of 250 wines from around the world, will take place Aug. 22 and 23 on the Milwaukee Art Museum grounds.

The festival also will offer live music, wine seminars on food pairings and other topics, and demonstrations by chefs Sanford D’Amato of Sanford restaurant and Jason Gorman of Dream Dance.
