Three food and wine experts will join together on September 12th (1 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.) and September 13th (12:30 p.m. – 2 p.m.) at the Wine Festival of Virginia in The Great Meadow, The Plains, VA, to share with visitors their insights.
Joe David, author of Gourmet Getaways (50 top spots to cook and learn), will take center stage and answer the urgent question asked by almost every foodie in America, “What Makes Chefs Gods?” To bring new light to the question, David will cut to the core and expose the raw facts – schools like the Institute of Culinary Education where students are taught to cook like angels.
To provide a chef’s point of view, Executive Chef Terry Sheehan, The Boar’s Head, Charlottesville, will provide his culinary spin to the question, which he will demonstrate with his hors d’oeuvres. Joining David and Sheehan will be winemakers Philip Carter Strother (September 12th) and Dick Zweber (September 13th) of the Philip Carter Winery, Hume, who will pair Chef Sheehan’s hors d’oeuvres with the estate’s chardonnay wine and share with visitors some recommendations for pairing food and wine. Will the events be memorable? Definitely. Delicious? Absolutely.
