Eat, Drink and Do Good

Vintage 901

If you love wine, food, and good company, you need to put Vintage 901 on your calendar!

In its second year, Vintage 901 is a 3-day wine, food, and music experience that is not to be missed.

I sat down with Vintage 901 organizer Stephanie Ferreira to learn more about this event.

“What guests will experience when they attend this event is 3 different days with 3 different venues and 3 different experiences.  On Friday March 2, we will be at the Crosstown Concourse and that will be the Grand Tasting event, which is a more casual fun event where people can circulate and mix and mingle.  You have Saturday – which is a little bit more formal event. It is at the Memphis College of Art and we will have our pairings dinner with our somm Laurie Forster and the dinner will be prepared by Chef Kelly English of the Restaurant Iris. And on Sunday, we will be at Shelby Farms at the FedEx event center, out there on the lake, and we will have a Sparkling Brunch and that brunch will be prepared by Chef Jimmy Gentry.”

In addition to enjoying good wine and food, Stephanie and her team have a bigger reason for organizing this event

“The mission and purpose of Vintage 901 is to bring the Memphis community together. And there is no better way to do that than over food, wine, and music.”

The event is this weekend - March 2nd -4th. You can purchase tickets to individual events or get a pass for the whole weekend. Proceeds benefit The Women’s Foundation for a Greater Memphis.

This is Jennifer Chandler with The Weekly Dish. Cheers!
