A revamped Fredericksburg Food & Wine Festival, combined with near-perfect weather and a bevy of new offerings, brought out more than 2,000 attendees to Marktplatz on Saturday. Above, Seth Urbanek of Lost Draw Cellars pours a sample of wine in the wine tasting section of the Fredericksburg Food and Wine Festival Saturday. At right, Michael Fojtasek, right, executive chef for the soon-to-open Albert Hotel, and Justin Spencer, pitmaster and chef at Junebug’s BBQ, conduct a culinary demonstration.
