Usually the last Sunday in April, the wine race was moved forward a couple of weeks this year so as not to conflict with the Easter holiday.<\/p>\n<p>The fun starts around 1 PM at the intersection of Beale and Rufus Thomas. There will be a parade, the Queen of the Vine beauty pageant, a grape stomping contest, and wine relays. Many area bars and restaurants enter teams. Not sure who all is doing Queen of the Vine this year &#8211; the only contestant I know for sure is Amanda Panda from Bardog.<\/p>\n<p>Pictured at left is the most popular drink at Wine Race, the Call-a-Cab from Wet Willie&#8217;s. Delicious but not recommended if you have to drive home, this drink consists of four ingredients: Ice, cherry Kool-Aid, strawberry Kool-Aid, and 190 PGA. Drink one of these, and you&#8217;ll be feeling really good, as it contains nearly as much alcohol as a six-pack of beer. Drink two and you&#8217;ll likely be the featured entertainment for the afternoon (as one of our group learned last year).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s free and open to the public, so come on down and participate in the debauchery. I&#8217;ll be down there about 12:30, after quick stops at the Majestic and the Saucer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No event on the spring festival schedule screams &#8220;debauchery&#8221; like Beale Street Wine Race.
