Cue horns. Tomorrow at noon we will be launching Breathe’s October issue on readbreathe.com. And, throughout the week the issue will be distributed to newsstands across the Southeast.

Our cover story, Dinner With Friends, is a tribute to traditional Southern fare and regional wines. We met with Whole Foods’ cook and wine guy here in C’ville to help create a menu with the appropriate wines — everything from Viogniers to Meritages to Port-style dessert wines. The recipes are easy to make at home and the wines highlight Central Virginia’s terroir. Check out some Instagram images from the Dinner With Friends cover shoot, here.

Hope you enjoy the issue. It was a blast to put together. Check out the October line up below. Cheers, marissa
