Letter from the Chef with MENU !!
From Chef Terri Terrell:
From Chef Terri Terrell:
Recently I took a road trip through the Mighty Mississippi Delta, my earth homeland. This road trip would prove to be two-fold. I wanted to go back and visit where my family was from since it had been 30 years but I also wanted to intentionally re-visit my food memories. I wanted to re-visit these memories because over the past 3 years I have nurtured a pop-up dining experience called The Clarksdale. This dining experience draws on my memories of the Mississippi Delta, gas station food and roadside diners. I wanted to see how these memories were holding up!
Bordeaux Wine Tour with jean Christian Rotagni and Andy Hale
Thursday, 09 March 2023 12:31
Wine Tour of Bordeaux Hosted by Jean Christain Rotagni of Contrast Tours and Joined by Andy Hale of The Asheville School of Wine at Metro Wines.
"This is a very urban tour, as Bordeaux is a quintessential European city, and one of the trendiest destinations in the world. Not only is Bordeaux utterly pleasant to live in, with its rather mild weather, its 12th to 18th century glorious architecture, which earned it to be on UNESCO's World Heritage List, but this is also a city with a rich past, and a vibrant present. We will stay in the very center of the town, and will take daily trips from that location to vineyards, cultural sites of importance, and villages of legends. Everyday will be a new feast, with gastronomy and wine aligned with the exceptional character of what we will visit. Please take a look at the itinerary below and feel free to contact me with any questions."

Asheville School of Wine Class

Join us on Wednesday, March 8th from 5-6pm, @MetroWines for "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Wine But Were Afraid to Ask," presented by Andy Hale, Director of The Asheville School of Wine.
Andy says: "Be afraid no longer! Learn the basics of wine so that you will feel confident in all wine situations. Why do wines need to “breathe?” How long should I age my wines? Where do people come up with these crazy flavor descriptions? When I order wine in a restaurant, what do I do with the cork that the Sommelier presents to me? Learn all of these and more in this practical class with wine tastings."
5 wines explored. $25 for the seated tasting.
