Whatcha doing next Thursday, July 7?

I'll will be in ‪Charlottesville, VA with my favorite goat-whisperer, Gail Hobbs-Page of Caromont Farm. (You'll recognize her from THIS story in Travel+Leisure among other places.)

I'm serving as Master of Ceremonies and Guest Somm at the "Simply Virginia Dinner" hosted by Timothy Gearhart of Gearharts Fine Chocolates. Joining me with flavors and favors, some essential Virginia tastemakers: man-o'-suds Hunter Smith of Champion Brewing Co., whiskey-wizards Virginia Distillery Co. and Chefs Spencer Crawford of Palladio Restaurant and Curtis Shaver of Hamiltons' at First & Main. With three levels of F&B tomfoolery, one will fit your budget and appetite.
