Savor an international array of fine wines and scrumptious cuisine Tuesday, March 3 at 2 p.m. CT with Savor Dallas’ virtual food and wine tasting live on Facebook. Organized in-part by SRJ Marketing Communications, Savor Dallas co-founder Jim White and five of Texas’ top chefs will host members of the press and fans on Facebook with a discussion on highlights of the premiere wine and food celebration in the Southwest.

Facebook friends and fans will be able to join the conversation with these experts and interact with them about what they see as the food trends for today and what Dallas is doing to contribute to culinary excellence worldwide.

Savor Dallas has been recognized for its creative use of social media outlets such as Twitter and Facebook, to keep its fans in the know. With more than 1,000 active fans on Facebook, Savor Dallas has become one of the highest traffic culinary and wine pages on the popular social networking Web site.

“Today it’s all about listening to our publics and establishing meaningful relationships with them,” said Steven R. Jolly, principal of Dallas-based SRJ Marketing Communications. “Social media has an exponential value to digital public relations and is a great way to inspire two-way conversations with consumers, clients and other target markets.”

For wine enthusiasts like Brent Watters of Arlington, Texas, the virtual food and wine tasting is a great way to learn a little more about what he and his friends can expect this weekend.

“I’ve never heard of Savor Dallas until I noticed all my friends becoming fans of the Facebook page,” said Watters. “Tuesday’s interactive event will definitely be a great way for people like me to ask questions and get a better grasp as to the kinds of wines and foods I’ll get to sample this weekend.”

Savor Dallas happens on Friday, March 6, 2009 and continues through Saturday, March 7, 2009. Scheduled in several beautiful locations in downtown Dallas, the international experience of wine, food, spirits and the arts is expected to draw 4,000 people from Dallas/Fort Worth, throughout Texas, and 14 other states across the country.
