I will be discussing and signing Vineyard to Table Cooking with Kentucky Wine at the Southern Kentucky Book Fest on March 26, 2022. The Book Fest takes place from 9 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Knicely Conference Center, 2355 Nashville Road, Bowling Green, Kentucky.
If you are in the area or are looking for a fun way to spend a Saturday, this will be an interesting day. Authors from around the state will be gathering to sign and sell their books to the general public.

The first 500 participants will receive a souvenir wine glass, which will be taken to each of the wineries the participant chooses to visit.
You may start at any of the wineries and go to as many as you choose.

All you need is love
and wine!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Have a great day,
spent with your loved one
and a favorite wine!

As a special Valentine for you, I’m sharing one of my favorite recipes from Vineyard to Table Cooking with Kentucky Wine. Hope you enjoy trying this for Valentine’s Day!
This recipe was a labor of love for my husband on Valentine’s Day. These delicious brownies are time consuming and contain a lot of ingredients, but the recipe is a crowd pleaser.
Dark Chocolate Chewy Brownies
The last few months have been a series of up and downs, and ups and downs. As people say, “life happens”. Last summer we felt hope, only to be let down in the fall and winter. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m looking forward to spring and an even better summer. As a wine lover, I’m hopeful that spring and summer will bring about a return to the normalcy of visiting wineries, going to tastings, festivals, and events.
Keep watching for news and mark the dates. McConnell Springs has announced its annual Barrel Tasting will be held on March 26, 2022. The Wine and Vine Fest in Nicholasville has said save the date for June 18, 2022. Wineries are planning the new spring and summer hours. Things are looking up! So curl up near a fire, pour some Kentucky wine and picture yourself laughing and tasting when we get back together to celebrate Kentucky wine!
