Industry Night: The Wines Behind Fauquier Fabulous
Hello everyone. Look, I am somewhere new. You may recall the four shows out at Barrel Oak Vineyards. Remember that? Every week I would drive out and let the blood pressure just drop. And what did I tell you I did after every trip? I would drive down the road from Barrel Oak into the pretty little town of Marshall. I’d stop by Red Truck Bakery for a few cookies and then I would have a late lunch at the Whole Ox where I’d order the The Big Ox two 1/3 lb beef patties ground in house with special sauce and all the fixings. Then I’d swaddle around a little in the market to pick up some wine, some amazing well curated snacks and some steaks.
I’ve always been obsessed with the Whole Ox because it’s in this little gem of a town and carries everything I want from a little independent butcher shop and market and where am I today?!
Well I am across the street from the Whole Ox in this gorgeous kitchen and entertainment space called The Whole Ox Too — Yes! They have expanded. I can not wait to catch up with this incredible badass butcher and shop owner, Amanda Luhowiak AND thanks to Laura Torpy, Tourism Coordinator of Fauquier County Tourism I am out in Fauquier County for a four Episode residency!
