Sage Restaurant, Thursday, September 7th, 2023
Featuring: Sage Executive Chef Henry Gutkin
Sage Restaurant & Lounge on Austin Street in Fredericksburg was the location of a special Winemaker Dinner on September 7th, hosted by Texas Hill Country Wineries (THCW). Upon arrival, folks gathered in the bar area ordering drinks from the impressive cocktail menu and visiting while the final dining room preparations were made. Passed appetizers of toasted herb focaccia and Italian prosciutto with Texas goat cheese followed as old and new friends visited. A small group of media representatives moved upstairs to meet and share with representatives of each winery and the Texas Hill Country Wineries staff, January Wiese and Kate LaFleur. Eventually, the call to be seated was made, and the 50 attendees found a place at a table to enjoy the evening.
