WILD FEST.

Next month, on April 19th at the beautiful Cedar Creek Vineyards, I will have the privilege of presenting at the same event as one of my greatest influences, Mr. Sandor Katz. The event is called WILDfest, a celebration of foraging and fermentation, and if you are anywhere within driving distance of Somerset, KY (and perhaps even if you're nowhere near), you should absolutely consider coming!Sandor––whose latest book "The Art of Fermentation" has acquired numerous accolades included a James Beard Award and reaching the coveted New York Times Bestseller List, and whose presence could be seen all over Michael Pollan's latest work "Cooked"––is a talented and dynamic presenter. For those interested in fermentation, this is a great opportunity to better understand the necessity of fermentation and perhaps some of the basic guidelines for making consistent and healthful ferments.As if you needed any more incentive, use the code Roughdraft15 when you buy your tickets and receive ten percent off the ticket price between now and April 1st! Hannah and I will have a booth there, and I will be presenting on natural homemade wine. The Kentucky Forager, Reclaiming Your Roots, Kentucky Heartwood, as well as famed naturalist and storyteller Doug Elliot will all also be presenting. It's destined to be good times and we'd love to see you there!-Jesse.
