Cuisine & Corks was a memorable evening at The View at Fountains, blending elegance with community spirit. Beautiful centerpieces by David and Sherry Lynn’s Murfreesboro Flower Shop set the scene as guests enjoyed passed appetizers and beverages. Seth Cripe, founder and winemaker of LOLA, a boutique winery in Calistoga, introduced the wine pairings for each course. Presented by the Community Foundation of Rutherford County under the leadership of President Kelly G. Rollins, the event celebrated generosity and impact. A thoughtfully prepared dinner by Five Senses with expertly paired wines added to the evening’s sophistication.

After dinner, Rollins recognized outstanding individuals whose dedication advanced the Foundation’s mission. The evening combined fine dining, warm fellowship and heartfelt celebration, reflecting the spirit of the community it honored.
