An Interactive Wine Dinner (Tuesday)

On Tuesday evening, March 6th, I was privileged to attend the dinner at Charlie’s L’etoile Verte Restaurant. This event was part of the series of dinners put on by the “Great Chefs of the South” for the Hilton Head Food and Wine Festival.

I wish that Franco would purchase a map of the United States. He insists that we go to the wineries of Virginia. This is not a bad idea, however we are in Texas. Oh well! I should not complain. It is his car and he is determined to see the USA and most of the wineries that are contained therein. Answering the question “Why Virginia?” was the easy part. Not long ago Bruce Schoenfield, writing for Travel and Leisure Magazine, pointed out that Virginia is one of the top five wine touring areas along with Italy, Chile, Spain, and New Zealand; and that it should be on the “must-see” list of any adventurous wine traveler.
