Wine fest at Proctors set for this Saturday

After you shovel your way out of the Snowpocalypse being predicted for us, or you don 't get your fill of merriment on St. Patrick's Day this Friday, you may want to treat yourself. That's where the Capital Region Wine Festival comes in.

The ninth annual event -- a/k/a "Romancing the Grape" -- at the Proctors complex is set for 1 p.m. this Saturday, offering samples of  a wide variety of wines, along with restaurant samples, various vendors, and a live auction.
