Vintner’s Dinner at LOLA in Covington
I had the pleasure of attending the vintner’s dinner last night at LOLA Restaurant in Covington. Not only did I attend the dinner, but I recorded an on-location podcast at the event! And my very good friend Dr. Daniel Burns was my co-host!
It was such a pleasure to have Chefs Keith & Nealy Frentz join us on the show too! They are masters in the kitchen and masters of hospitality. I’m so very happy to know them and to call them friends.
