  • On-Site Culinary Solutions LLC Catering 2090 Brooksfield Road Blacksburg, VA, 24060 United States (map)

Chef Jud Flynn has curated a theatrical "Five-Act" menu, expertly pairing each course to elevate the nuances of these exceptional small-lot and barrel-aged selections. Stan Davis from “The Robin Cellars” will be the Sommelier and will speak about each wine and how it pairs with each course.

The son of E. Claiborne and Lora Robins, E. Claiborne Robins Jr. was born and raised in Virginia. Through his travels around the world in his position with the family's pharmaceutical business, Mr. Robins developed a deep appreciation for the winemaker's dedication to their craft and how wine was an integral part of the culture in many societies. Coming back to the States, Mr. Robins, filled with rich experiences, saw the opportunity to give voice to small family-owned wineries to wine consumers in Virginia. Arising from this passion, Mr. Robins founded The Robins Cellars in 1990.

Over the years, Mr. Robins has seen many of his beloved wineries grow to national and multi-national levels. Through it all, the foundation of The Robins Cellars has remained true - dedication to the small family winery and the artistry of finely crafted wines. Entrepreneur, philanthropist, historian, father, and grandfather; Mr. Robins' passion for wine, dedication to quality service, and giving voice to small wineries is undiminished.

Mr. Robins and the Robins family have been, and continue to be, unprecedented benefactors in the Richmond area and Virginia as a whole. Whether it be through individual donations or through their foundation, The Robins Foundation, they continue to give back to the community they love and are a part of.
