The 2008 South Beach Wine & Food Festival kicks off later today, with tomorrow being when the main show, the Grand Tasting Village opens. Beginning right now, with a photo dispatch from the beach, we're on the ground until Sunday for you—for you, not for us because the weather is nice, or we've already been offered three cocktails or because Jean Georges, Ming Tsai and The Mats are en route.
Round the clock South Beach coverage can be had here.
