Sip like a sommelier at A Toast to Tennessee Wine Festival, a Mt. Juliet staple each May. The event offers delicious wine from more than 20 Tennessee wineries, live music, gourmet food, fine artists, free seminars and lake cruises. If you sample a taste you just have to have again, don’t worry – the festival provides an opportunity to shop local with bottles and cases of wine available for purchase.
Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 on the day of the festival, which is slated for May 15, 2010. Those serving as designated drivers can purchase tickets for $10, and group tickets are also available for $15 each by calling (615) 758-3478.
For additional information, visit www.atoasttotennessee.com or check out our video to see what the festival is all about.
Down-home cooking and made-from-scratch desserts are always on the menu at Miller’s Grocery, but the joint is especially jumping on Friday and Saturday nights with live bluegrass, folk and Americana music.
The antique-filled eatery was restored in 1995 after more than 75 years of providing groceries and other goods to Christiana, located in Rutherford County. Though the establishment no longer sells groceries, the name Miller’s Grocery remains as a tribute to longtime proprietor Stanley Miller and a reminder of simpler times.
Reservations are not required, but they’re strongly recommended during live music nights and Sunday lunchtime buffets. Visit www.millersgrocery.com or call (615) 893-1878 to learn more.
