If you're in the mood for wine-tasting this weekend, check out Prosser's Wine and Food Fair, billed as the largest outdoor wine event in the state.

A total of 33 wineries and 13 food vendors will show off their wares from 3-9 p.m. Saturday at Art Fiker Stadium.

There'll be traditional reds, whites, ice wines and sparkling wines, along with live music.

If you go, get there before 6 p.m. Because after that "you can hardly get through the field," says Susan Webber, president of the Wine and Food Fair.
