Brunch and Wine Tasting at 1300 Garrison
Chef Steve Munday’s exquisite brunch buffet and wine tasting drew a full house today at 1300 Garrison. Bridget Goeke of The Country Vintner told us about the wines paired with Chef Steve’s creations. Snow showers and cooler than normal temperatures made it a perfect day to be indoors enjoying good food, good wine, and good friends.
