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. 10/2/2008 11:44:19 PM |

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. 10/2/2008 11:48:31 PM |

^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... 10/2/2008 11:52:46 PM |

I KNOW. It's probably best though, don't want their last image of the USA to be redneck Mecca 10/2/2008 11:57:05 PM |

Childress yes.
Duplin no.
Actually there are a fair number of good vineyards in the Yadkin Valley to chose from: http://www.yadkinvalleywineries.com/ 10/3/2008 12:04:10 AM |

^^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. 10/3/2008 9:52:45 AM |

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.10/3/2008 9:58:14 AM |
