On Saturday, February 11th 2012 Nina and I attended Art of the Table’s 8th Anniversary Tasting event at Stonesthrow Furniture. I was invited by Amy Ruis owner of Art of the Table, whom I was introduced to by Victoria Upton, Publisher of Women’s LifeStyle Magazine, at the Local First LocalMotion awards in January. Amy was very pleasant and humble and later that night when she won the 2012 Guy Bazzani Local Legacy LocalMotion award she was just as humble. She didn’t let success change her. Well played Amy, well played.
The tasting event featured 60+ wines and 30+ microbrews with foods and desserts provided by local chefs and vendor’s, set to the soundtrack of several local musicians. It was the first time that we had sampled any of Art of the Table’s delicious products and the first time we had visited Stonesthrow Furniture, it was a real feast for the eyes, ears and palatte. I discovered a new favorite beer, Spiral Jetty by Epic Brewing Co. and Nina found a red that she was very fond of Chapoutier Bila-Haut CDR. We will definitely be attending in 2013. If you stop in Art of the Table, tell Amy and Steve that I said hello.
