Black Walnut Winery at the Brandywine Food & Wine Festival

Lance Castle in Action - Brandywine Food & Wine Festival 088
Images taken during the Brandywine Food & Wine Festival in Malvern, Chester County PA.

When I first got to the Brandywine Food & Wine Festival, I saw Valerie Castle of the Black Walnut Winery at the entrance, and she was nice enough to stop for a few minutes to chat.

During our conversation, she whispered to me that they had just received good news about ‘something,’ and that they were going to be announcing “it” later!

As we were chatting, Lance Castle joined us, also expressing his excitement about the Announcement and about the events for the rest of the afternoon.

Now for some action photos!
