Friday marks the 2nd annual PTE Pairings, and it seems like just yesterday that we were pouring alongside some great restaurants that participated the first year. For 2013 PTE has paired with both restaurants and local producers.  You will be able to try wonderful prepared dishes alongside Manitoba food producers sampling products that run the gamut from chocolate to cheese to pierogies. Read on for the exclusive sneak peek of the “pairings” that we have gathered for this year’s event…
