A few weeks back we attended the Food & Wine Festival in Atlanta where Goo Goo Clusters were enthusiastically received by attendees. Well, this weekend, the Atlanta Food and Wine Festival team will be out in Colorado promoting their event by hosting a table in the tasting tent at the Aspen Classic.
