A Vintage Celebration
The "Wine At The Museum" Event At Historic Aldredge House Was An Evening Of Great Tastings, Soaring Song, And Classic Fun.
The first in a series of three wine tastings scheduled for this Fall at Aldredge House Museum was a soaring success. The sold-out event, hosted by Jimmy's Food Store, Southern Glazers, and Friends of Aldredge House, was conducted by Italian Wine Specialist, Rino Brigliadori, and featured the Wines of Northern Italy. The next tasting, on Friday, October 18th, will focus on the Wines of Central Italy and the final event, on Friday October 25th, will highlight the Wines of Southern Italy.
Reservations for all three events are sold out.
A Night At The Opera
As an added feature, students from the SMU Meadows School of Fine Arts serenaded guests with a selection of songs specially chosen for the event. Selections from both classic operas and contemporary musicals were performed, making this special evening in this beautiful historic home, even more magical.
