The Austin Food and Wine Alliance has built a reputation for throwing big parties and networking events to help foster culinary innovation.

This year, the organization announced a relaunch as the Texas Food and Wine Alliance, expanding to all the major regions of the state – a move that proved to be needed now more than ever.

How do you push the taste of your community or find the next star chef?
