The first annual Fire and Wine Festival hosted by The Black Walnut Winery at its Sadsburyville location was a triumphant success! On September 28, about 200 guests gathered around an epic fire tended to by the Sadsburyville Fire Company and enjoyed a glorious fall evening. Guests were treated to wine provided by the Black Walnut Winery, tasty barbeque chicken prepared by the Sadsburyville Fire Company and live music by Tim Williams, Holt 45 and ECHO. Special thanks to Lance and Val Castle, Jack and Karen Kuhn, the entire Black Walnut Winery staff and the Sadsburyville Fire Company for hosting and executing such a fabulous event. I know that all those in attendance are already counting down until next year’s festival!
