The launch of the Draper James fall collection at our 12 South boutique notwithstanding, one of the most exciting things to happen in Nashville this September was the Music City Food + Wine Festival. This past weekend, industry pros mingled with foodies and other fans for two days worth of tastings, demos, dinner, and drinks. Check out our interview with featured chef Vivian Howard of Chef & The Farmer here (you can also learn how she makes Roasted & Fresh Tomato Pie and Peanut, Pepsi & Bourbon Floats) and see some of our favorite Insta moments from the Festival below.
