Start by testing your palate at The Fireplace with a Fireside Chat for two in which you will sample, wines, spirits, beers and "tastings" of the season's bounty.  Farmers, vinters, aficionados and master brewers will educate and amuse with knowledge and anecdotes, while those who attend will share food & libations.

Then try your hand at a Fireside Chat at your home.  Invite over family and friends, break out your new lazy-susan cheese board and toothpick hodler and create your own spread of "tastings."
