We are so excited to be back with our friends Dave and Barb from david and barbara for this year’s Summer Supper Somm Series! 🍅🍷

We are closed closed tonight to the public for an unforgettable Tomato Dinner celebrating the flavors of the season. This dinner is extra special because our very own Hillary Horne is stepping into the spotlight as the Event Culinary Lead, taking the reins in creating and executing the evening’s menu. Hillary has poured her heart into this event, crafting an incredible four-course menu that we’ll be pairing with delicious Virginia w**es. We can’t wait for more to experience her creativity and talent! (Also be sure to check out her market out front of Penny’s ever other Saturday morning 🙌🏾)

Unfortunately this one is already sold out but make sure you check out some of the other amazing restaurants participating the rest of this month!

A huge thank you to our friends at Village Garden for partnering with us once again. We’re also proud that this year’s Summer Supper Somm Series benefits SCAN (Stop Child Abuse Now), making this evening about great food, great w**e, and giving back

Make that reservation for Thursday or Friday this week. We will be closed Saturday for a little summer R & R. See you in JW 🧡✌🏾

Literally, still thinking about Lyon.

Great w**e. Incredible food. Wonderful people. A week full of moments we’ll remember for a long time.

One thing this trip reminded us is why we love to travel. It’s about slowing down, sharing meals, meeting the people who make a place special, and creating memories that stay with you long after you get home.

Until next Spring, Lyon. 🇫🇷✨

Lyon exceeded every expectation 🇫🇷

Six days. Countless unforgettable meals. Historic bouchons. Family-owned w**eries. Long lunches in Beaujolais. Cellar tastings. Endless laughter.

This wasn’t just a w**e trip—it was an experience built around discovering a place through its people, food, and culture.

To everyone who joined us: thank you for trusting us with your vacation. You made our very first international residency something truly special.

The best part?

We didn’t just visit Lyon— we lived it.

Lyon returns next June, and there are more destinations on the horizon.

Stay tuned ✈️

This Wednesday is Earth Day 🌍 and we’re celebrating Mother Nature the best way we know how, with some beautiful biodynamic w**es! And of course, we’re making it fun… blind tasting style $15 gets you 4 w**es to taste blind (all single varietal w**es— we won’t trick you too hard 😜).

Guess 2 out of the 4 correctly, and your tasting is on the house. A little midweek fun to get you out and about!

Plus, the patio is officially back open. even better if you want to sip outside! We’re back at it Wednesday! Make your reservation (link in bio!)and or just pull up and come hang. Cheers to a beautiful week ✌🏾🍷

A little March photo dump + a little reflection

🍋 here, it’s been a minute (I seem to say that a lot nowadays 🤷🏾‍♂️… hey, life be lifing). It’s hard to believe Penny’s turned 3 in February. As usual, we forgot to celebrate (raise a glass for us when you can 😉). After 3 years, Kristen and I are still learning so much. It really feels like we just started, not physically, but mentally. We’re finally starting to understand the full picture of what the f* it takes to operate a restaurant!

We’re trusting our instincts and doing what we can, when we can, how we can - to the best of our ability. S**t hasn’t been easy, but we are truly blessed.
Like we’ve said before, Penny’s is small but mighty and it takes a village. Not just our staff, but you as patrons help us build this thing, and we’re grateful. We know Jackson Ward isn’t the “hottest” spot in Richmond, but we appreciate everyone who makes their way over to JW, stepping outside the usual spots to kick it with us.
We’re also super excited about the new establishments coming to the block (hey and few other fun others 😉 ). We’re just happy to exist in a space dedicated to our ancestors, in a neighborhood rooted in Black culture, and in a city that feels like it’s right on the verge of taking flight. Like Michael B. Jordan said: when he won his Oscar: “Thank you for betting on us. We’re going to keep stepping up and keep being the best version of ourselves.”

Shout out to my man Donnie for inviting me to host a x Penny’s dinner at Gallery.
Shout out to for coming through for a private dinner. Shout out to my guy Chris from W**ery in Asheville — go support his dope project!
Shout out to our w**e fridge for putting in work and BOH team for beautiful artwork in the kitchen. Shout out to my apron for keeping me clean while I’m on the line.

We’re back at it today! The first First Friday is this week. and will be popping. The patio will finally be open 🥳 make a resi!

New spring menu drops April 15th
