NO PLAN FOR JULY 6? HOW ABOUT BBQ & CORKED BEVERAGES ? ©


            The shady oaks of Halter Ranch Winery may be just the ticket for your holiday weekend. FORK n' CORKS Fest 2013. The fest will bring people together to enjoy beverages that are sealed with a cork; such as whiskey, gin, wine, port, beer, hard ciders, champagne and more! I suggest moderation vs. a hangover with this potent mix of potables.

Spoiler alert: attendance is limited to 1,200 so jump on www.pasoforkandcorksfest.com or contact Jessica Beattie at (805)781-2750 or via jbeattie@americangeneralmedia.com. AGM is the event sponsor. Tickets are $70 and the Fest begins a 4 and runs to 8 PM.

Tasting samples will be paired with food from twenty local Chefs and restaurants. They are faced with the challenge of being allowed to cook only with the BBQ pit. They will then be limited to garnishing their creations only with pitted fruits and veggies, such as avocados, peaches, cherries, olives and more. Yes, the concept is pull it from the pit, put it on a plate and place with pits in proper perspective. Good thing I withheld imbibing before writing that, or trying to say it. You get to vote on the result and the top three chefs will receive some great swag.

Live entertainment will be provided by Code Blue Band & Three Martini Lunch, rotating on the stage. Live art can be seen while actually produced, painted or sculpted in the large Barn by artists from Studios on The Park (a nonprofit art center), with Central Coast Wine Country as the theme. Profits from sales will benefit the center's programs.

The event will benefit the community oriented MUST! Charities Organization, dedicated to offering resources to those in need in San Luis Obispo’s North County.
