What a summer at Black Star Farms! I am so proud of my Culinary Team, small yet mighty! From Paella Nights at Bistro Polaris to the Traverse City Food & Wine Festival Dinners with my friends, Top Chefs Celina Tio and Debbie Gold, and all the events in between, we created exceptional culinary experiences! And WOW, to be recognized in USA Today's 10 Best Lists -- as the #4 Best Winery Restaurant and the #1 Best Wine Country Hotel! Next stop Italy, on my CHEF JK Travels Culinary and Cultural Adventures, Tour #21.
