Talking bourbon in Asheville

If you're in Asheville on Sunday, I hope you'll come by Posana Cafe for an event put on by the group Farmer & Chef South.

 There will be a bourbon cocktail demo by Spirit Savvy, food tastings prepared by chefs Peter Pollay of Posana and Mike Moore of Seven Sows Larder and Blind Pig, and pork ingredients raised by farmer Casey McKissick. Oh, and I'll be there, giving a talk about bourbon and signing copies of my book "Bourbon: A Savor the South Cookbook."

My thanks in advance to Malaprops, one of the world's great independent bookstores, which will be there to sell books. Tickets to the rest are $35 and are available at Event Brite here.

The event is 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday at Posana Cafe, 1 Biltmore Ave. (in Pack Square across from the Asheville Art Museum.)
