Happenings

Chef Joe Scully and Local Wine Importer Steve Pigniatello are at it again. Burgundy Wines brought stateside by Steve, Classic cuisine by Joe. We have done this many times dating back to 2001. Each time it is different, each time it has been fun, delicious and interesting.  This year we are joined by Katie Moore, local cheese expert with WNC Cheese Trail.

Date: Wednesday, November 7 – begins at 6 pm
Cost: $125/pp (includes food, wine, tax & grat)
