Piedmont trained Chef Brian Laird's wonderful menu:

Dinner after the wine tasting: We usually have 40-50% of the group stay for dinner after the event. It's a great way to continue the conversation with new friends.   Russo's will be offering a prix fix menu (from Restaurant week...extended for our group) for $25 a person plus tax/tip. There is a place on eventbrite  to RSVP for dinner afterwards.   You may also order off of their wonderful menu. For members who want to continue to casually mingle, the fireside lounge will be open.
