A Lowcountry Supper

Together with Explore Charleston, G&G brought the tastes and sounds of the Lowcountry to Austin and Dallas. Each evening kicked off with craft Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey cocktails from Edward Crouse of Babas on Cannon, followed by a multicourse meal prepared by chef and G&G contributor Vivian Howard of Lenoir with wine pairings from sommelier Femi Oyediran of Graft Wine Shop. To conclude the dinners, guests delighted in a special performance by Charleston-based singer-songwriter Mel Washington.
