Highland Brewing, Sovereign Remedies, and Biltmore Winery Announce Appalachian Beer and Wine Dinner

Highland Brewing, Sovereign Remedies, and Biltmore Winery  Announce Appalachian Beer and Wine Dinner

Highland Brewing Company, Biltmore Winery, and Chef Graham House of Sovereign Remedies will be hosting Grapes, Grain, & Graham, a ticketed dinner event benefitting Manna FoodBank on Sunday, September 16th, 2018. The dinner will feature four Appalachian-inspired courses expertly paired with a Highland beer and a Biltmore wine.

This event is both an exhibit of Chef House’s dedication to local agriculture and foraged ingredients as well as an exploration of the relationship between beer and wine. Drawing upon the olfactory and taste sensations of Chef House’s creations, Highland Sensory Scientist Megan Rayfield and John Justice of Biltmore Winery have selected drink pairings that highlight different aspects of each dish. Rayfield, Justice, and Chef House will guide guests through the inspiration behind courses and how the food is complemented by both the wine and the beer.

 The partnership of Highland Brewing Company, Biltmore Winery, and Sovereign Remedies is one that is thoroughly rooted in Western North Carolina’s culture. Highland Brewing is the pioneer of Asheville’s nationally recognized craft beer industry. The Biltmore Winery, meanwhile, has developed from a small part of the Biltmore Estate to now being the country’s most visited winery. Finally, Sovereign Remedies represents Asheville’s now nationally recognized culinary scene. Having recently been invited to cook at the James Beard House in New York City, Chef House’s creations reflect a changing view of Appalachian cuisine and terroir.

A portion of each ticket sale will go to Manna FoodBank, an Asheville-based non-profit dedicated to ending hunger in Western North Carolina.

About Sovereign Remedies and Chef Graham House:

A native of the wooded land between Asheville and Brevard, North Carolina, Graham is no stranger to the botanical bounty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. His experience as an adolescent included exploring the countryside, collecting wild flowers, weeds, vegetables, and finding things that came straight from the earth. This fascinated him far more than hunting and fishing.  After attending the well-known AB Tech Program for culinary school, a family tragedy sent him to Atlanta, where he worked his first job in a high-end restaurant, Pricci.  There, he found himself constantly inspired by the chefs he worked with, but also reluctant to settle. This mindset sent him traveling to work for restaurants like Osteria Del Bouche in Lake Como, Italy; Rotisserie and Wine with Jeremy Fox, who would become a major influence in his career; and on to Redd in Yountville, California, and Prospect in San Francisco. Graham made his homecoming to Asheville to become the Executive Chef at Sovereign Remedies, where his commitment to working with local farmers and foragers continues to shape his style and constantly changing seasonal menu of local fare. http://www.sovereignremedies.com/

About Highland Brewing Company

We want to be the brewery of choice in the Southeast. To achieve that goal, we believe it takes more than great beer. With each new hire, it doesn't take long to learn Oscar's mantra: Honesty, integrity and respect. Nothing about beer, not specifically. But the larger ideals that lead to great beer - caring about how it's made, caring for the people involved, from the grain farmer to the mom at the grocery store. Operating within these lines gives rise to a culture around a product. A culture that is sustainable for our employees, our customers and our environment. Come see us! Get a beer at Asheville's first legal brewery and learn what we believe in.
