5th Annual Keeneland Cocktail Brunch

On October 3, 2015, Garden & Gun readers gathered in Lexington, Kentucky, for a cocktail brunch prior to watching Opening Weekend races from the members-only Keeneland Clubhouse. Guests tasted recipes from G&G’s upcoming book, The Southerner’s Cookbook, browsed Maui Jim sunglasses, and received betting tips from Keeneland’s expert BETologists at the historic Keene Place mansion.
