Exquisitely EXCEPTIONAL!

Yesterday's Exceptional Wine Pairings event was exquisitely exceptional, thanks to Rob Plant of Blue Wind Gourmet for hosting this event for the second time! This intimate gathering of Sotterley friends enjoyed creative hors d'oeuvres such as Crab & Corn Chowder, Rockfish Bruschetta, Steak & Caramelized Onion Bruschetta, and handcrafted chocolate items paired with wine selections from all over the world in our 1703 Plantation House. Everyone who attended was delighted with the varied pairings and fine companionship. Rob Plant, thank you for your generosity, attention to detail, and for being a great supporter of Sotterley!

Thanks also to our wonderful volunteers who helped to make this event extra special

An Event to Support Education at Sotterley!

 

We can't say enough about Rob Plant of Blue Wind Gourmet! In addition to being well-known for his creativity in the kitchen and his talent for being a true wine connoisseur, he is also great friend of Sotterley. Because of his generous donation of wine and hors d'oeuvres for our upcoming Exceptional Wine Pairing event for Sotterley Plantation, the proceeds will directly support our educational programming, helping us to continue our mission as an educational, cultural, and community resource.

Since the Exceptional Wine Pairing at Sotterley is to take place inside of our 1703 Plantation House, this event is limited to 50 persons. Advance reservations are required. Please purchase tickets here.

 

 

Hope to see you at Sotterley!

Blue Wind Gourmet Donates Afternoon Wine Tasting Event

Rob Plant and Blue Wind Gourmet came to Historic Sotterley with an offer to completely donate an exclusive wine tasting event to be held at Sotterley. The proceeds from those who attended would then go completely to Sotterley Plantation. We were thrilled to accept this amazingly generous offer and knew that an event this special could only take place within the 1703 Plantation House itself. Normally only open for guided tours and Sotterley Holiday Candlelight, the 1703 Plantation House was the perfect backdrop in which to taste the premium red wines and wonderful hors d’oeuvres pairings which Rob selected for the afternoon.

The sell-out event took place yesterday, and it was a wonderful and memorable afternoon filled with exceptional wines, a variety of fabulous food and great company. This event was yet another example of how a charitable and giving community stands behind Sotterley and makes its successes possible.

Thank you, Rob and Blue Wind Gourmet!
