Tune into WCHE1520 today, June 29, from noon to 1 pm for Eat, Drink and Meet Mary! July 4th is right around the corner and we’re going to send you off this weekend prepared to be the envy at every holiday picnic or gathering, offer some weekend wine plans and GIVEAWAY A COOKBOOK!

Host Mary Bigham of The Town Dish will be chatting with a Co-Owner of the newest vineyard addition to the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail. Karen Anderson from Borderland Vineyard has lots to share about their recent hop on board, some of their upcoming events and the Wine Trail’s Big Bang BBQ, which is unfolding this weekend. All the wineries are involved and there will be plenty to do at your favorite Chester County vineyards.

Stay tuned after Karen’s interview if you’re interested in winning a brand new cookbook from famous blogger Allyson Kramer. She writes for Manifest Vegan, her personal blog that presents gluten free/vegan recipes in unconventional ways so you’re not “depriving” yourself of the delicious foods in life. Allyson will be sharing one of her favorite gluten free/vegan recipes for your entertaining needs this July 4 holiday because not everybody can dive into a mayonaise-y pasta salad. Listen closely for you chance to win! The cookbook, Great Gluten-Free Vegan Eats, offers a no-hastle way to preparing great gluten free/vegan meals that you’ll love.

Lastly, Mark Addison, entertaining expert and Owner of EVENTSTYLE, the NYC “go-to” company for celebrity events, will join Mary to share his tips for winning Most Valuable Host at any of your holiday gatherings, particularly a rapidly approaching one. Mark’s content can be found in magazines and online publications, or during TV appearances in which he shares some easy steps, tips and tricks. He’s a regular on Better TV, made appearances on national lifestyle shows and has also been a guest on prime time television shows like The Apprentice and America’s Next Top Model. Mark is big on not breaking the bank to host a good party and eager to share a delicious, but simple cocktail recipe.

Today’s show is just what you need to get pumped for family gatherings and friendly get togethers. Mary and her guests will send you off with wine plans for the weekend and special holiday ideas you won’t find anywhere else!
