IMG_6155This “Preview Post”  today serves as a heads up that I will be doing another Restaurant Round-Up segment on WCNC’s Charlotte Today this morning ( Thursday Feb 2)  featuring six of my favorite spots to dine with your Valentine.

After the segment this morning ( it’ll air sometime between 11 am and noon) I’ll come back late in the day to update and repost these pages with a copy of the video, food shots to whet your palate and all the details. to make your Valentine’s dining decisions all the easier to plan.

Many restaurants are still finalizing Valentine’s Day and Valentine’s Week menus, but be sure to start thinking about making reservations as places book up fast – and as Feb 14 falls midweek this week, know that is not just about the day, but the person you are celebrating with, so dinner out with your sweetie can take place any day of the week and for that matter any month of the year.

These restaurants are all chef driven, feature local products and are each doing a tremendous job bringing their A games to your table – you’ll want to put each and every one on your must visit soon list.

Thanks so much to my blog partners who  help make it possible to bring more posts like this your way.  My blog post sponsors are all brands I believe in and I am happy to share their story.

imagesToday this  HeidiBillottoFood.com blog post is brought to you by TOPO Distillery In Chapel Hill, NC.

There is lots of whiskey in the Tarheel state and as time passes for this relatively new industry we are seeing more and more Carolina aged whiskey as those first barrels have now had time to rest and age. With the  aging (usually done in oak barrels) comes that distinctive rich caramel color and a deeper richer flavor profile of each individual spirit.

TOPO Distillery in Chapel Hill, is the Carolina’s only organic and LEED certified distillery,  producing a host of organic local spirits.

imagesIn the TOPO line up is a delicious organic Eight Oak Aged Whiskey, the award-winning TOPO Organic Vodka, TOPO Organic Piedmont Gin and TOPO Organic Carolina White Whiskey all made from grains grown less than 100 miles outside of Chapel Hill.  New for 2018 look for a longer aged TOPO Reserve Carolina Straight Wheat Whiskey and a brand new organic spiced rum. The rum is the only TOPO product not made from Carolina wheat. To create this  spirit according to traditional recipes, TOPO sources organic cane from the only organic cane field in the United States located near West Palm Beach, Florida.

All of the TOPO liquors are available across the state of North Carolina in Local ABC stores and on the top shelf at many area bars and restaurants.
