 Cork & Bottle's WineSense tastings for 2007 are under way in the Big Easy. WineSense is Cork & Bottle's series of informative wine tastings that started over 4 years ago. They keep each of our seated classes to under 30 people so you can enjoy your wine tasting with some elbow room, while stand-up tastings allow for a few more people to show up, but never crowding the room. As always, unless otherwise noted, each tasting is held in the New Orleans store on Wednesdays at 6:30 and lasts for about an hour or so.
The following is Cork & Bottle's NEW ORLEANS calendar through the first week of March. Get ready New Orleans...WineSense is back in 2007! |

 If you don't live in New Orleans, it's time to start planning your trip for the 2007 New Orleans Wine and Food Experience. This five-day event focusing on wine and New Orleans food takes place over Memorial Day weekend, and it's always a memorable event (unless you have too much wine). Much of New Orleans may still be struggling, but the great restaurants and hotels are up and running at full steam--if you don't leave the tourist areas, you'll never know there was a problem.
More than 15,000 glasses of wine will be poured from 1,000 different bottles produced by more than 200 winemakers at the 2007 NOWFE. The event will present its most ambitious schedule of events yet May 23-27, featuring world-class wineries from around the globe and New Orleans top culinary artisans.
“We intend for the 16th annual event to be a celebration of wine and food, as well as a salute to our city’s triumphs over the past 16 months,” said Mark Needham, 2007 NOWFE board president. |

Ric says:
We are back from Burgundy.
The trip was every bit of the success I had anticipated, and we will have some dynamic wines for you in the fall from the trip. In the meantime, here are some super wines on sale. While it seems odd to be offering big reds like Chateauneuf at this time, I have had a lot of inquiries about the 2003 vintage due to the excellent article in a recent edition of The Wine Spectator, so I am including three of what I feel are the best wines I have tasted. |
