If you can’t take the heat, come to this wine festival

     Coming up next week: The 13th Annual Miami Wine and Food Festival. It’s not as big as last month’s South Beach Wine and Food Festival, but it has three distinct advantages. No tents. No sand. Air conditioning.

     Ohhh, air conditioning.

     Thur.,  April 3’s walk-around tasting and appetizer sampling is at Merrick Park in Coral Gables. Fri., April 4’s Interactive dinner, in which guests cook their own vittles under the direction of star chef Stephen Lewandowski, pictured here, and Sat., April 5’s Great South Florida Fine Wine Auction and Dinner, are at the InterContinental Miami at 100 Chopin Plaza, Miami.
