rxgeek and wife and I think cocobird are at 4 Points.
I'm skipping the donuts (too early and too much sugar) but I'll join people at Makers Mark (although I've already done a tasting of their good stuff, through my local wine club a couple years ago).

If anyone has looked at the website for the Friday (tonight) dinner, their menu seems to have changed in the last day or two, from the one focused on Pinot noir to something autumn.

Zorak and I are going to do the 11am tour at Town Branch Distillery (Alltech Brewing and Distilling) http://www.kentuckyale.com/tour. There are still spaces available for 11am and 12pm tours. Others free at that time are welcome.

I'm landing in SDF just before 2, so I'm guessing I won't be able to make it to Maker's. What is planned after the bourbon tours? Keeneland?

Did you get my PM with rxgeek's number? Call him about Makers.

Before dinner in Midway, no one seems to have firm plans. I'd be up for a beer late afternoon.

Well I clearly did not have my coffee this morning and failed to say we are doing it at 11 am tomorrow

Guess you two can leave us your notes on what's good there. Whoops. Sorry guys!

What are people doing this afternoon? I'm currently back at the Four Points to quickly check on some work stuff, and then I'm planning to head out to do something. Maybe Berea College or Makers Mark for the Chihuly and I'm also inclined to try to find a wine store for tomorrow and maybe drop by AAA for some better maps and local information.

Makers closes at 3:30 I think. Check the website.

Four Roses distillery is not too far. But always call in case they are full or under construction.

I may be able to hit a brewpub/bar late afternoon. Ethereal, Country Boy, or Beer Trappe.

I just arrived in LEX, so I'm up for whatever. Brewpub sounds good.
