• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: I can't believe it.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's flown by, and I think the key is like I think we've talked about this, to make the most of the time left of this nice weather, at least the warm weather.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: I love the fall though.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_00: What a great concept that there's a trade event happening this weekend.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_01: Pominac Vineyards tonight is is hosting one of my favorite annual events, this 10 mile dinner.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_01: And it's at 1074 Main Road in Akebog.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_01: They create one long table right next to the vines, and everything you eat is sourced within a 10 mile radius, which is really cool.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_01: And it's paired with winemaker Kareem Bassouds, absolutely fantastic wines.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_01: I'm such a big fan of the quality coming out of Pominoc this year.

  SPEAKER_01: They're having Chef Ryan Carroll making the magic in the kitchen.
