Franklin, TN – Wine Down Main Street announced that it has partnered with “wine experts with a twist” the Saucy Sisters for this year’s wine tasting event in downtown Franklin. Plans are underway to add a special feature to the lineup of activities already scheduled for year number 11 of the popular wine festival.
Barbara Wichman Nowak, one of the Saucy Sisters and a Franklin resident, said, “In ten years, we’ve missed only one Wine Down Main Street. And now to be part of the festival, we’re just thrilled. Our contribution to this year’s event will be a little wacky…but that’s just the way we are.”
Details of the collaboration and of the new festival element will be announced in August. Beverly Wichman Pittman, SaucySis 2, added, “What we can say now is that the plans include Lonely Cow Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir and our new wine book.” The Saucy Sisters’ Guide to Wine: What Every Girl Should Know Before She Unscrews will be published in the Fall.
The 2011 Wine Down Main Street wine tasting event is set for Friday, November 4 and benefits the Franklin and Fairview Boys & Girls Clubs. Specially priced e-tickets are $75 per person until October 22 and $85 per person after that. Advance tickets may be purchased at either www.winedownmainstreet.com or www.localwineevents.com. Tickets sold in the shops along Main Street will be available for purchase in September.
The Saucy Sisters are media personalities who, for ten years, hosted the radio show Sauced! They’re corporate speakers and the authors of The Saucy Sisters’ Guide to Wine: What Every Girl Should Know Before She Uncorks and The Everything Wine Book.
Since 2001, Wine Down Main Street has grossed more than $1,000,000 for the local Boys & Girls Club Units and has sold out every year. At last year’s 10th anniversary event, people came from 22 states and three foreign countries.
