Pairing on the Porch
Last Sunday was the perfect fall evening to welcome residents and friends to an intimate wine and food pairing at the Front Porch Info Studio. Greeted with a cool glass of champagne upon arrival, over 50 guests mixed and mingled while enjoying five perfectly paired courses.
The menu, created by local Chef Rocky Stech of Eclectic Chef, was carefully crafted to complement some of the finest wines presented by Master Sommelier, Stephane Peltier, proprietor of Accent on Wine. Both establishments are located in downtown Summerville. Each pairing was artfully created to provide guests with a vibrant culinary experience.
