I've got a friends family flying in from England tomorrow and I get the honor (?) of picking them up @ the airport. Only 1 of the 3 have been stateside before, and this is the (I think) third leg on their trip. So far they've been to Florida, Montana, and now good 'ole NC. SO. What should I meet them @ the airport with? I was thinking earl grey w/ Krispy Kreme. Later having some NC wine (muscadine variety, probably Duplin Brice's creek and/or Scuppernog and/or Hatteras Red.)

Alternatives/suggestions? Try to keep it NC or at least US.

BBQ is a great idea. However they'll be here for the weekend.

Last visit we talked them into Gravy Biscuits & pig brains. Gravy to them is brown gravy, and they were totally surprised at what they were served.

^I also like the Biltmore, but I was actually leaning toward the Childress red table wine. That stuff is 9/10 for me. Their vintner's select is orgasmic, but is also like $80/bottle...

I KNOW. It's probably best though, don't want their last image of the USA to be redneck Mecca

Childress yes.

Duplin no.



Actually there are a fair number of good vineyards in the Yadkin Valley to chose from: http://www.yadkinvalleywineries.com/

^^They actually liked the US Biscuits. To them a biscuit was more like hard-tack than fluffy goodness.

And we don't do any of this Bojangles/Biscuitville mess. That's one benefit of living 100yds from grandma's house. Fresh (cast iron) pan fried chicken, potato cakes, and fresh biscuits/gravy every saturday morning. WIN

EDIT ^is Red Oak tasty? I've never tried it (although I ride by the brewery like every other week

My fiance is English and when his family came over they really loved Chatham Hill Winery. We even brought them a bunch of bottles over to the UK the last time we went. Chatham Hill is only 10 minutes from RDU also.

Man I'm slipping! Red Oak is my favorite beer. Very tasty! It's an absolute must buy whenever I see it on tap somewhere.
