Weekly Wine Tastings at Cork and Bottle

This evening, (Thursday 1/12), come on down to Mid-City (you'll be hearing that a lot, soon) as Cork & Bottle resumes their weekly free wine tastings. Normally, the tastings coincide with the Thursday Crescent City Farmers Market, but since it will be a while before those start up again (they're only doing the Tuesday market at Uptown Square), you can just come out and drink. Check it out from 4:30-6:30 at 3700 Orleans Avenue in the shops at the American Can Company.

Then, check out Ogden After Hours from 6:00-8:00pm at the Ogden Museum, this week featuring Al "Claiborne Street is Rocking from One Side to the Other, the Joints are Jamming Packed and I'm About to Smother all Because it's Carnival Time" Johnson and Louisiana Rockabilly great Jay Chevalier. It's a new collaboration the Ogden is doing with the folks at the Ponderosa Stomp.
