Just a gumbo kinda night, right? Duck and chorizo in the bowl. Sorry, but that’s what had on hand, purists. #Covidcooking Did it up with a dark, dark roux made with Monday night’s roast chicken turned into stock and bested by 150th anniversary Diamond Reserve Tabasco and Julien Pineau Sauvignon Blanc. ⠀

This juice is from ex-Barouillet vineyards, harkening back to his previous employers and inspiring Biodynamic pioneers at Clos Roche Blanche! No sulfur, no f’s given. Probably a day three wine if it lasts that long. Already showing white peach, pear skin, lime blossom, mountain air and dried mango.⠀
⠀
All this for $30ish.⠀

But you gotta make your own gumbo.😋
All citrus blossoms on the nose. 🍊You know that fragrance. You breathe the humid air and you drank the juice. You need this liter of ORANGE wine for your red beans. You need it for your New Orleans mayor approved "quarantine crew" socializing. You want it because it's good glou and the temps demand it.

Can't say enough good stuff about some of these new wines coming in. This prosecco from Gregoletto would be phenomenal to enjoy with the peak of Louisiana strawberry season. We just received a flat of local berries from J&D farms, so get a pint and savor this pairing.
From Kermit Lynch: The Gregoletto family name can be found in historical archives dating from the late 16th, early 17th century, as viticoltori in the hills of Premaor di Miane, near Valdobbiadene. When driving through this area today, the true heart of what is now the Prosecco DOCG, one is struck by the primitive nature
of these hills. Gazing up at the steep, rustic ravines covered in wooden stakes and head-trained
vines, you instantly are aware that this area of the world has changed very, very little over the
centuries—viticulturally speaking.
The Gregoletto family has two real specialties: semi-sparkling wine made sui lieviti or on its
lees (also known as col fondo), and still wine made from grapes most commonly used to make
sparkling wine. They are among the very last growers in the Veneto to cultivate the indigenous
Verdiso grape, making magnificent tranquillo and sui lieviti bottlings from it. They also make Prosecco
in all of its forms: still, demi-sec, semi-sparkling, and metodo classico.
All of the family’s work from the vines to the bottling is done by hand—artisanally, carefully,
and patiently—based on oral traditions passed down over the centuries. Many of their secrets are
closely guarded. The sui lieviti bottlings represent the history of this region before the Champagne
method was invented. Secondary fermentation takes place in bottle slowly and a fine sediment forms
in the bottom of the bottle–by carefully pouring the wine you can easily leave the sedimen
Just a note to say find some beauty in this moment of uncertainty. Slowed it down tonight in the garden with newly blooming poppies, the scent of jasmine, the wind Hines and birds singing and crisp, delicious, perfectly aged @raventosiblanc 2014 XAREL-LO. This is a dream moment in the nightmare of Covid. Love y’all. We’ll get through this. Be well New Orleans.
The effect of Covid-19 is devastating to local businesses. The most impactful thing you can do for small businesses right now is buy a digital gift card for later use. Send one to a friend or family member who loves our city. If you have wine needs, we got you covered. Be safe. Be well. Be socially distant.
Check out the holiday hours and have yourselves a good good holiday! Custom gift wrap, baskets and more available to you while supplies last. 🍾🎄🥰
