Another Shucking Good Time
By popular demand, we are bringing it back for one more round! Whether you like to slurp your oysters raw or enjoy them hot off the grill, we will head back to the fire pit for more fun! Chef Joe Townsend, a Nashville Wine Auction mainstay, will be bringing the culinary expertise, along with fabulous oysters from John Harley, proprietor of Serenoa Shellfish! Founded in 2019, this family business focuses on sustainably providing the highest quality Florida shellfish.
Their flagship oysters are Skipper Sweets, grown in Skipper Bay, FL and are available at fine restaurants and raw bars throughout the south, Nashville included. The company name comes from Serenoa repens, the Latin name for saw palmetto: the small palm trees that grow near sandy environments where owner John Harley lives with his family in Sopchoppy, Wakulla County, Florida.
We will open our pairings with Sancerre for the oysters and then take a tour of the Santa Rita Hills for the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir courses. Sancerre, Santa Rita Hills, sustainably sourced seafood, and super-hosts Loren and Scott. What more could you ask for? The lucky winning bidders will be participating in the second installment of this incredibly popular party!
