The Atlanta Wine School Wine Barrels of Chardonnay
On Friday I had time to hit the local hot-spot "Poor-Boy Lloyds" for shrimp poor boys and a local favorite, deer sausage. Nothing like a light lunch.
Friday's wine dinner featured the talents of local fave Chef John Folse and coastal sensation Tim Creehan, along with wines from Diageo. The wine dinner was held in the "old Governor's Mansion," which was built for the legendary Huey Long during his tenure as the state's Governor. Mr. Kahn catches up with old friends and makes some new ones.
Saturday Grand Tasting:
The grounds of the "old State Capital" were transformed into a festival. The stained-glass ceiling inside is impressive.
Atlanta Wine School did three wine seminars that day; the first including matched pairings from local fave Bayou Bistro. An overhead view of part of the festival grounds with the Mississippi River right next door. Chef Tim Creehan did two cooking demonstrations in between the wine seminars. Dem's some big ribeyes he's cooking!
Sunday Jazz Brunch:
Stacy & Alan Simon take in some mimosas amidst 10 of Baton Rouge's finest restaurants providing rich, savory samples.
What was the most popular bubbly during the Jazz Brunch? A sparkling raspberry wine from California. Delicious! Chef Dan shows how to not spill a drop! An over-worked crew let's off some steam at Mr. Kahn's house on Saturday night.
