Event History:
The first Dunedin Wines the Blues event took place in November of 1992 with the idea of finding another way to promote the Downtown area and its Merchants. It part of other Dunedin Events and was originally conceived by Gregory Brady from Gregory's Salon, Bob Moore from the original 1477 Lounge, Kathy Carlson and Virgil from Kelly's Chic a Boom Room & Restaurant.

At that time Dunedin had just formed the Downtown Merchants Association and needed another event in the fall of that year to compliment a successful Mardi Gras. At the same time the City of Dunedin, through Bob Ironsmith, wanted to promote the idea of Live, Work, and Play in Dunedin in order to encourage more people to come to Dunedin, Florida.
