NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Nashville Lifestyles Magazine hopes you'll take a "sip" to celebrate spring and help a deserving local non-profit! It's the annual "Swig Cocktail Competition" next Wednesday at City Winery.
I spoke with the magazine's editor about the popular event which will feature more than a dozen local bartenders and mixologists -- competing with their creative concoctions: two cocktails each -- one using bourbon, the other vodka.
Ticketholders get to sample them all -- and then vote for their favorites. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Nashville Food Project.

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
