Join us for the sixth edition of The Historic New Orleans Collection’s culinary symposium series, where we will explore the history of wine drinking in New Orleans. Acclaimed culinary historian and author Jessica Harris will moderate the program, which will follow the history of wine from the late 18th century to the present, to show how New Orleanians have imported, served, and imbibed through the centuries. After the talks, participants are invited to enjoy a light reception and a sampling of wines provided by the Bordeaux Wine Council, which sponsored the event.
Be sure to sign up for the "Uncorked!" wine dinner at Tableau on Sunday, November 3, which will feature a five-course meal of French flavors and wine pairings. Symposium registrants get $15 off their tickets. See the menu.
