When we talk about the true culture of New Orleans, my beloved city, we talk about the braid that is music, food, and drink. Big picture, none exists here without the others. And I grant you: cocktails are a way of life, an art, a deep and important cornerstone of Nola life. BUT, I happen to think that the right wine can pair even better with certain rich sounds that make this city go.

Here’s to making Jazz Fest a month-long national holiday.

Thanks for coming,
