BOURBON
Four Bottles from Buffalo Trace: The Allocated Set
The first Weller 12 Year single barrel ever selected. Buffalo Trace has never made Weller 12 available as a private pick; this barrel was the exception, and this is the bottle. Alongside it: Sazerac 18 Year Rye from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, the oldest expression in a lineup released once a year in quantities that never come close to demand, plus private barrel selections of Blanton's Gold Edition and Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel.
Together these four represent years of allocation, relationships, and patience. Most bourbon rooms will not see this set assembled again.
Estimated value: $1,500-2,500.

PRIVATE DINNER
A fully curated four-course dinner & private acoustic music experience for 10
Gather ten of your favorite people for an unforgettable evening where food, music, and meaningful conversation come together around the table.
This is more than a dinner or a concert - it is a fully interactive, music-centered dining experience designed to spark connection, storytelling, and conversations that linger long after the night ends.
Nashville personal chef Kathryn York will prepare a four-course dinner inspired by seasonal ingredients, local farms, and artisans, served in your home or private setting. Wine will be generously provided from the private cellar of Holly Whaley.
The heart of the experience is music.
Before the dinner, each guest submits a song tied to a shared theme. Throughout the evening, Kathryn is seated at the table with Eric and guides conversation as guests share the stories and memories behind their songs. Eric Marshall will perform the guests’ chosen songs throughout. Each performance is reshaped by the stories shared around the table, making the evening entirely unique to those gathered.
Service for the evening will be provided by Porter’s Call staff (Chad or Beth), who will act as dedicated wait staff!
