# February 2019 Wine Dinners

• • • McPherson on the Road • • •  
This month, we’ll be on the road visiting San Antonio and Fredericksburg. If you’re a Hill Country local, we hope you’ll join us for one of our upcoming wine dinners! See below for details.

**Tuesday, February 26 |Sustenio at Eilan Hotel**

**Wednesday, February 27 |Periphery San Antonio**

Join Winemaker Kim McPherson and Chef Mark Weaver at Periphery! Chef mark did not grow up in the kitchen—he didn’t discover his love of food until his time at Texas Tech. He needed a job, and, he needed date money. So he took to cooking and worked his way up the ranks at local spots in Lubbock. After graduation, he went on to refine his skills in Austin and San Antonio. He opened Periphery to cook neighborhood food and serve drinks for neighborhood folks.

**Thursday, February 28 | Hoffman Haus**

We’ll be in the Hill Country for a 5-course meal from the folks behind Otto’s and Hoffman Haus! Save the date and make plans to join us—tickets available on the Otto’s website.
