DOG DAYS JOURNEY
During these “Southern Scorcher” days, Wines Down South is sharing destinations that will cool the traveler. Doc Lawrence reports his adventures in Alabama with visits to Montgomery to see “Cooking Nanta” at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. More than four million people have seen this Broadway play about five fabulous chefs who drum, juggle and cook their way through a fast-paced evening. (See video at right.) Doc pays a visit to the grave of the immortal Hank Williams.
Wines Down South visits lovely Monroeville, Alabama, Truman Capote’s boyhood home. Monroeville is also the home of Harper Lee. the Pulitzer Prize winning author of To Kill a Mockingbird.
Mobile is a Gulf Coast gem that has its own Mardi Gras, beautiful homes, and many fine restaurants. You’ll read about Dauphin Street, oysters at world famous Felix’s Fish Camp (where there is an “R” in every month), and fine dining at True Midtown Kitchen.
Enjoy the vacation possibilities in our current feature on the White Lightnin’ Trail (click) that covers much of the lake and mountains culture in East Tennessee from Knoxville to Cumberland Gap. And we’ll guarantee it’s cooler there and the fishing’s good any time of year.
Wines Down South journalist Lynne Brandon is covering the American Cheese Society’s annual Festival of Cheese in Raleigh, NC. One of the world’s biggest cheese events, the Festival boasts some 1,600+ artisan, farmstead, and specialty cheeses and cultured products. Lynne will share with Wines Down South readers the amazing growth in artisan cheese production and farm-to-table products.
Stay cool. Enjoy the crabcakes and wine pairing (shown on right). Work easy and play hard!
