We are participating in a few of their launch events. Come out to meet Eris this Saturday at Hanes Mall in Winston-Salem. The following Saturday, May 12th, you can find Eris and me at Southpark Mall in Charlotte. We hope to see you there.
Last Wednesday, we had a fabulous first event - a five-course tasting dinner at The Kitchen at Elkin Creek Vineyard. Thanks to Eris, Jesse and Hugh for you all of your hard work. Welcome to Bonnie, our new subscriber, who joined us that evening, along with 18 other guests.
We posted a few pictures from the event. We are hoping to get several more from Jamie, a friend who took quite a few pictures during the event. You can read a follow-up to the event in our April email newsletter, which also include some interesting ideas that we were not able to fit into the Spring Issue. Please be sure to subscribe to our newsletter to keep up to date on all of our activities.
