Join us for a night of great food, great wine, and great fun as two good friends, Fearrington House's Maximilian Kast and On the Square's Inez Ribustello battle to the last drop of your gustatory delight. Inez and her husband are owners of On the Square Restaurant in Tarboro, recently voted, along with the Fearrington House, as one of the top 50 restaurants in the country by OpenTable. Inez was the Wine Director at the famous Windows on the World in New York before settling back to her hometown of Tarboro. She also took second place in the Best Sommelier in the United States Competition and was a national finalist in the first TopSomm competition. The night will begin with signature cocktails from each sommelier, then over a five course dinner two wines will be paired for each course, at the end all guests will get to vote for the pairings enjoyed the most, determining the Best Sommelier for the evening.
