Three men from different backgrounds and strongly differing beliefs met totally by chance on a rainy evening in Atlanta.

This remarkable event, described by Doc as "daring and visionary," actually takes the wines from Yonah and puts them in the taste arena with some of America's most prestigous and expensive wines.

The Hermitage Hotel, celebrating 100 years now, remains the cornerstone of social activity in Nashville.
