Thanks Robin for letting me post.

I just wanted to add that after running into and talking with Will about this at a party for a shared acquaintance last weekend, he's put a ton of work into it and it sounds very exciting. I, like many, initially "poo-pooed" the thought of a dinner around Kentucky wines, but after talking with Will we're definitely going to check one of these out.

It was good to see you and Tosha. What a surprise.
Thanks for the encouragement. Over the past few years I have tried to find some local wines that I liked and it was not so easy. Things have improved greatly. Equus Run has some really tasty stuff.

In March we are going to host Wight-Meyer Vineyards. Again, very good.

The first commercial winery in America was started in Nicholasville in 1798. I think it is really cool that so many enthusiasts are now making wine in KY again. Lets keep it local.

If you go to Kentuckywine.com you can see a great map and take a tour wineries.

It makes for a fun day.

We still have some room for this event. Please call 502 222 4626 or reservations.

Thanks
