FRIDAY!!!!
Wine Tastings!
Hooray for wine! It's the weekly wine tasting over at Cork & Bottle (Orleans at Moss St.) - from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. Come out and sample some fantastic wines! Also, please read the statement below from the owners of Cork and Bottle and Clever Wine Bar - Help support LIVE LOCAL MUSIC in NOLA!!
SAVE THE MUSIC AT CLEVER
For those of you who are fans of Scott Sanders, Evan Christopher, Brent Melancon, Riccardo Crespo, DeSoto Street Band and all the other free music that clever has provided to mid-city for free over the last couple of years, you should know that the city has cracked down on music venues and apparently there is a moratorium on live music in this area.
With Isaac knocking us out for a few days, we're hard pressed to come up with the fee to appeal (which is no guarantee that we'll receive the license) and then there's the license fee on top of that.
So, our loss is your potential win. We're going to be raffling off a mixed case of wine guaranteed to be worth over $100 for the next three weeks. Tickets will be available in the store and the bar, and the drawings will be held on Monday for each of the next three weeks.
Also, if you are so inclined to do so, please contact Susan Guidry, Stacy Head and Patricia Clarkson with the City Council and tell them you would like to see clever get their music license. The City Planning Commission has arbitrarily placed this moratorium on the area, and this has affected not only us but other businesses. This could happen to you.
Double your wine tasting pleasure in Mid-City! Check out Swirl located on Ponce de Leon right off Esplanade and enjoy a FREE wine tasting at 6:00 pm. .. Plus the folks at Swirl will be dishing out his fabulous small plates ranging from $5-$7.
