2009 Summer Concert Series!

March 30th, 2009

It’s that time of year again for Elk Creek Vineyards 2009 Summer Concert Series! I for one have been biting at the bit to see what amazing bands they have playing this year on their outdoor amphitheater.

Well I can tell you the wait was definitely worth it! Returning again this year due to overwhelming turnouts because they rocked from last summer; the amazing Buddy Guy (with special guest Quinn Sullivan) and A1A, the official Jimmy Buffet tribute band. Plus some new faces to the Elk Creek summer series; Pocket Change will play for the July 4th weekend while Rozzi will once again dazzle us with their spectacular fireworks and Darius Rucker (of Hootie and the Blowfish) with special guest Jason Jones will be the reason we’ll all be getting together at Elk Creek Vineyards in July!

This is just a few of the bands that are going to be playing at Elk Creek this summer. The full schedule is still being put together but I’m sure it won’t disappoint! What can be better than sitting outside on a beautiful summer’s night, listening to unbelievable musicians and all the while relaxing with a glass of the best wine in Kentucky? I’m pretty sure it doesn’t get any better than that!

A Marinara Sauce To Make Us Proud – Kentucky Proud!

March 23rd, 2009

For all you Italian food lovers out there, you don’t want to miss this month’s “Elk Creek Wine Dinner” Saturday, March 28th. The man of the hour, or should I say “sauce” of the hour is Elk Creek’s own home-grown and Kentucky Proud Marinara Sauce! You’ll get a taste of each sauce, one a rich taste with a hint of sweetness flavored with Sangiovese wine and the other a full-bodied sauce with a hint of ripe berry sweetness flavored with their very own Cabernet.

You’ll dine on the mezzanine level of the gallery surrounded by beautiful original artwork by local artists. Between 5:30 – 5:45pm you will be able to browse the winery and enjoy barrel tasting to start off the night. Dinner will be served at 6:30pm and what an amazing dinner it will be - Tomato Burschetta, Caesar Salad, Chicken Parmesan, Tuscan Pasta and to end it on a perfect note, Tiramisu for dessert. Dinner will be prepared by Elk Creek’s very own in-house chef, Rachel DuFour.
