The Curious Palate Tasting Club is monthly tasting club providing interesting and dynamic tasting combinations designed to allow you to explore the world of wine, beer and spirits; connect to history; and expand your palate in an intimate atmosphere.  

Did you know that Stock car racing (and the birth of NASCAR) in the United States has its origins in bootlegging during Prohibition? Bootleggers needed to distribute their products, and they typically used small, fast vehicles to better evade the police. Many of the drivers would modify their cars for speed and handling, as well as increased cargo capacity, and some of them came to love the fast-paced driving down twisty mountain roads...and the thrill of transporting spirits!

While harsh, hair-raising moonshine isn’t on the menu, we will be exploring samplings and pairings of Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey from Four Roses Distillery and finish with an iconic cocktail.  With local importer/broker Gov Vaughn at the helm, we will learn the history, culture and nuances of this golden treasure direct from the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
