MONTEREY WINE FESTIVAL The oldest wine festival in the country kicks off Thursday with registration and guest services at the Monterey Conference Center from 10am to 6pm. Then, at 7:30, it''s time for the New Release Party (that''s right, it''s called a party) at the Aquarium. Insiders refer to it as "prom night for winos" because everyone dresses up and has a blast. From then on, through the closing brunch on Sunday (prepared by culinary legend Paul Prudhomme), it''s a continuous carnival of educational seminars, winemaker luncheons, tastings, cooking demonstrations, tastings, winemaker dinners, tastings-you get the idea. One of the highlights will be the awards gala on Saturday evening at the Monterey Plaza Hotel when the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation presents its first annual America''s Best Wine List awards to winning restaurants that personify a commitment to everyone''s favorite beverage, wine.
