Today’s the Beale Street Wine Race!\u00a0 28 restaurants and bars compete for prizes and trophies in various events.\u00a0 I have lots of bars to root for… first and foremost would be my BBQ team sponsor The Silly Goose.\u00a0 I’ll also be cheering for Bardog Tavern.\u00a0 And Kooky Canuck.\u00a0 And Red Rooster.\u00a0 Not sure if Orleans on Front\/Voodoo Room has a team, but if they do I’ll be cheering for them as well.\u00a0 Saucer never enters Wine Race, which is too bad because I’d really like to see some of their employees in the Queen of the Vine competition.\u00a0 Calhoun’s doesn’t have enough employees to have a Wine Race team.<\/p>\n
Great weather this year too… high 85, low 67, rain very unlikely.\u00a0 Last year it started raining about halfway through Wine Race and I ended up taking cover at the bar at Kooky Canuck (then Big Foot Lodge).\u00a0 Meghan was bartending that day… bet they scheduled her for Sunday afternoon on purpose because they realized how worthless she’d be on the Wine Race team.\u00a0 This year they don’t have to worry about it.<\/p>\n
Parade at 1, queen of the vine at 1:30, grape stomp at 2, wine relays at 3.\u00a0 Wonder who the Rooster is entering in the grape stomp… I hope it’s Sam.<\/p>\n
Queen of the Vine entrants… you know how they have that “no nudity or lewd behavior” rule?\u00a0 That’s a pretty stupid rule, just ignore it.<\/p>\n
Heading to a friend’s condo for pre-Wine Race cocktails at 11.\u00a0 In the meantime I’ll download last night’s photos from the camera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
