Earlier this spring when Michael and I shared our fantastic experience at Palmetto Bluff on Map & Menu, we were floored when Todd Phillips, the outlet manager, sommelier, and the creator of the cocktails we raved about in this post, reached out to us!

It’s almost easy to forget your destination on the 4 mile drive from front gate to … Continue reading Palmetto Bluff, SC
