Oyster and Wine Pairing Competition

Now more than ever our thoughts are with Louisiana seafood. Over the last five years, our Oysters have been through a lot. But the good news is that they’re available, delicious and safe. The weekend of June 5th, the city is celebrating the Gulf Coast Oyster at the first annual “New Orleans Oyster Festival”. As a prelude to the weekend, on Thursday, June 3rd, Oyster enthusiasts will gather at Bourbon House to determine the best wine pairing for the Gulf Oyster! Tastings will be on-going during the hours of 4-7 pm and will consist of our cherished Gulf oysters alongside six different white wines. 
There will be two award categories: People's Choice and Experts' Choice. To join us for this event or to find out additional details please call 504.274.1829

The cost of the event is $10 and includes a half dozen oysters with the wine tastings
