Putnam Market Festival Brings Spanish Foods And Wines To The Heart Of Saratoga Springs

By Staff Report | Home & Garden
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Putnam Market will celebrate the Tastes of Spain with its first festival of the year this Saturday, April 5. Guests will experience a day of distinctive food and wine, including specially selected Spanish wines paired with choices of hams, cheeses, olives and almonds. “Spring is the season for simple, extraordinary food and wine,” said Cathy Hamilton, co-owner of Putnam Market. “Spanish cooking has enjoyed a decade of universal acclaim. The foods and wines featured in the festival not only naturally taste great, but also illustrate strong connections to the places they were made.” Throughout the five-hour festival, Putnam staff and chefs will guide visitors though the foundations of Spanish cuisine and its Roman, Muslim and Germanic cultural influences. Tasting stations will be set up throughout the market and the store’s chefs will be on hand to assist guests seeking hot and cold prepared foods, confections and desserts, all featuring fresh Spanish ingredients and recipes. Ten Spanish cheeses and nine wines will be available for sampling during the festival. Putnam Market’s food and wine experts will be available to discuss each selection and its unique origins. Putnam Market’s owners decided to hold the festival to offer local residents a fun and relaxing cultural event during Saratoga’s off-season. “This is an opportunity for Capital Region food lovers to connect with new tastes,” Hamilton added. Located in the heart of downtown Saratoga Springs, Putnam Market offers an broad selection of locally produced and imported foods, including over 60 types of cheeses and 600 wines.
