We’ve got a pretty cool city. 20 years ago, that wasn’t the case. Not that we were uncool perse, but we lacked any sort of “destination”. For instance, downtown wasn’t a place you wanted to go. There wasn’t much to do or see and it was sort of…well, depressing. But over the past decade or…

Wine Tasting @ The Reserve
The Reserve is a little wine store out in Maryville, TN owned by a friend of my mother-in-law, Kellie Calloway.
