Join the Chefs from SOL Restaurant and Winemaker Kip Summers on September 15, 2009 for a Night of Tennessee Fine Wine and Cuisine


On Tuesday, September 15, 2009, Chefs Austin Garcia and Carl Schultheis of SOL Restaurant will host a five-course wine dinner paired with wines from Arrington Vineyards. Located just 12 miles southeast of downtown Franklin and partly owned by Kix Brooks of the legendary country duo Brooks and Dunn, Arrington has established itself as a first-class winemaking operation. The vineyard recently took home “Best of Show” at the Wines of the South competition for its Syrah and is launching a targeted initiative to see their wines offered in more Nashville area restaurants. Chefs Garcia and Schultheis have crafted a diverse and creative menu designed to pair flawlessly with Arrington’s best vintages. Guests will have the opportunity to experience the emerging winery’s fantastic offerings while listening to Kip Summers speak on his professional background, winemaking inspirations and some of the unique aspects of the wines. Additionally, members of the Arrington staff will be seated at each table for detailed, behind-the-scenes discussions on the winery. The dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will cost $65.00 per person. Reservations are required and can be made by calling SOL at (615) 538-6021.
