Fenn Valley Winery Annual Chili Cookoff 2011

On January 22nd, Fenn Valley Winery in Fennville, MI held its annual Chili Cookoff and Wine Lovers Pot Luck. The snowy weather kept many people away but a bit of Michigan snow couldn't keep hundreds of people from attending this annual event. I'm not sure of the exact number but I believe it was over 300. About 70 chili contestants vied for the title of chili in four categories; 4 legs (beef and pork), two legs (turkey and chicken), no legs (vegetarian) and exotic (pick your animal). Fenn Valley wines were generously poured for patron and provided a perfect accompaniment for the chili. Non-chili contestants brought a dish to pass as their "entry fee." Music by Natchez Trace was terrific. This was our third time at this event and it continues to be one of the more interesting and enjoyable ones on our calendar.
