As you may know, your Wandering Wino has wandered down the Mighty Missisip to the Big Easy for
Tales of the Cocktail, where I am busily searching out the newest trends in spirits and cultures to report back to you over the next year. So far, the biggest trend I've spotted is kinda awkward-looking fun guys with chunky glasses hanging out with really hot tattooed women. And I'm not just talking about
Mr. Pink, who is also in town to hopefully pick up some hardware.My favorite Tom Robbins quote expresses what most visitors to New Orleans feel, but can't express as eloquently, "The minute you land in New Orleans, something wet and dark leaps on you and starts humping you like a swamp dog in heat, and the only way to get that aspect of New Orleans off you is to eat it off." We're doing our best down here, and from the looks of the Wandering WIno schedule, y'all will have a couple good chances to take in a little bit of debauchery yourselves in Nashville in a week or two.
The first event is Experience Italy at The Bound'ry.
On Thursday, Aug. 4, Midtown Wine and Spirits will have Sara Klein, Italian specialist and brand manager for Kobrand Imports, visiting to showcase some of her wonderful wines and share her expertise. This will be a stunning tasting featuring Brunellos, Barolos, Super Tuscans, Chianti Classico Riservas and more.
