Chef Dennis Marron will be cooking up a delicious lamb from Virginia's Border Springs Farm, and mixologist Jason Wiles will show guests how to concoct the ultimate bloody mary. Poste will also feature Flying Dog Brewery's fall beer collection and Subarashii Kudamono's savory Asian Pear Wine.

Patricia Jinich, owner of Pati's Mexican Table, cookbook author Craig Rogers and funky blues artist Joe Chiocca are just a few of the featured guests. The cost is $35 per ticket.
