Tasting Notes
The New Orleans Wine and Food Experience adds more own local flavor
Moving its Grand Tasting events to the Louisiana Superdome opened
the door to various types of growth for the New Orleans Wine and Food
Experience (NOWFE). More vintners and restaurants are participating
this year, the second in the Dome, but the venue is helping organizers
build on the "New Orleans Experience" part of the event.

After Miljenko "Mike" Grgich introduced organic farming to his

Complements to the Chef
Wine picks lighten up for summer menus.
There's no mistaking Jacques Saleun's French heritage when he talks about the wonders that fresh summer produce and local seafood do for the bistro cuisine at his Kenner restaurant Chateau du Lac. When it comes to the topic of wine, however, Saleun sounds more like a native Louisianan.
