Walsh Family Wine, Purcellville, VA
6:30 – 10pm
Join Magnolias at the Mill at one of Loudoun’s great vineyards! We will be presenting a menu of the best Virginia seafood including oysters, clams, scallops, fresh and saltwater fish and much more.
Taste of Blue Ridge and Magnolias at the Mill invite you to experience the culinary mastery of Chef Erik Foxx-Nettnin and other Virginia local chefs. This will be a unique event dedicated to two Virginia products – wine and seafood. Chef Erik has selected one of Loudoun County’s great vineyards to be the location for his June Root to Table culinary event. This will be Chef Erik’s fourth Root to Table event. Stepping away from his restaurant and moving his Summer event to a vineyard location to showcase his culinary skills is a thank you to his winery friends here in Loudoun County.
Experience the Culinary Talent of chef Erik Foxx-Nettnin
“I’ve learned all of my skills from hands-on experiences with other chefs. Beginning at the Hyatt (Hotel Corporation an American International Company) I was sent me to various Hyatt hotels across the United States to train under different chefs.
“My food style is classic fabrication, the breaking down of raw goods, and fine-tuning them. What I’ve brought to every kitchen that I’ve been in control of especially Magnolias is how to properly and respectfully handle the food that you govern. Here at Magnolias we get in whole animals and fabricate them down. We learn what to do with each part of the animal. We get in random large amounts of fresh vegetables and fabricate them how they need to be cut and preserved. “ ___ Erik Foxx-Nettnin

Proud to be in a community where I am surrounded by such wonderful ingredients, and near people who care, love food, and showcase its true beauty. What an opportunity to learn and get involved in the community, while sharing knowledge and experience around a table. This is food itself as a community.
