About Michele Rhoutsong
Ciao! I'm the new chessemonger at Vine & Table, please call me Michele. I am a native Oregonian, grew up in Portland. Go Ducks! Arrived here after living in Italy for eight fantastic years. I married a Hoosier over twenty years ago, so here I am. I followed a dream and attended The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY and the Art Institute of Indianapolis. I believe food is an amazing place to be, and I can talk forever about it! I claim two teenagers at Carmel High School, one graduates this year. Plus two cats, (it was a buy one, get one free deal- so I have Elizabeth Taylor and Lance) and an English Bulldog Izzy Prosecco-(bubbles is all I'm saying!) and our old man- a springer spaniel, named Spike. Come on in and say hi! I love to chat recipe ideas and pairings. I believe life and memories happen when food and drink are involved... and I'm always full of ideas. Hope to see you soon!
