Thursday Events

If you're looking for some wine to taste in a unique setting you need to head out to the New Orleans Fairgrounds from 6:00 to 8:00 pm for the first "Tastings at the Track - Great Values from Around the World" sponsored by Dorignacs.  Attendees will have the opportunity to taste a collection of 35 delicious great value wines from around the world.  This casual, reception style tasting will also feature a selection of cheeses and wine experts who will discuss and answer wine related questions.  Tickets are $25 per person and are available at Dorignac's (710 Veterans Blvd in Metairie). Tickets will be available at the door if the event is not sold-out.

Celebrate some more with a little culture and music.  Head on over to the concert at the Ogden Southern Museum of Art - better known as Ogden after Hours.  The music starts up at 6:00 pm. with Paul Sanchez......Paul is a New Orleans singer-songwriter whose music continues the city's longstanding tradition of performers melding jazz, blues and funk with lyrics of wit, wisdom, sorrow and joy.....so come on down for some music, culture, food, fun and my hubby, Bill deTurk, will be doing the in depth interview so you don't want to miss it!! And don't forget to try out this month's signature drink the "Limoncell-O" it is really good!
