Vine to Wine Spooky Spirits at Memphis Botanic Garden
I
t was a spooktacular evening of fun as Memphis Botanic Garden hosted this year’s final fundraiser and wine tasting event appropriately named “Spooky Spirits.” Guests walked past a cemetery filled with skeletons and ghosts and were greeted at the entrance by artist Jamie Acor, who offered spider charms and other scary accessories. The bar inside was fully stocked with the largest and most extensive collection of wines in the Mid-South that was complimented by a cauldron of “Witches Brew” on tap. Food was provided by Fork It Over Catering, and included scrumptious goodies such as ham and swiss Hawaiian rolls, BBQ chicken sliders, onion parmesan dip, and a build-your-own mac and cheese station. Tree reader, Grayson Smith, was on hand, as well as Historical Haunts. Barbara and Sara Hasenstab brought along a pair of real tarantulas and snakes. Vine to Wine was sponsored by Iberia Bank.
