Wine Down Thursday

by »

We are always growing and evolving with our patrons here at Olde Mill. It is part of what keeps things so fresh and exciting here. It has come to our attention that many of our wine fans were not able to make it up to Maples Restaurant on Wednesday, leaving them a bit saddened for they miss our Wine Wednesday pairing menus. But after careful consideration and deliberation, we have devised the “Wine Down Thursdays”. All the great food and wine, just not smack dab in the middle of the week. We are very aware that many of our guests and neighbors like to make that escape to the Blue Ridge on Thursday to prolong their weekends. This will play right into that mindset. Now you can start your weekend off properly (and early) with our three course pairings for either red or white wines. This has been a real crowd pleaser over the years, and now we see the opportunity to share this special night with even more gourmands.

So, those of you who regularly visit us on Wednesdays, reset your internal wine clocks back a day to Thursday so you won’t miss a single delicious bite or sip. And for those weekend warriors who haven’t made it to a Wine Wednesday yet, plan to extend your weekends by a day at our Wine Down Thursdays”.
