Free Wine Tasting

Last night I had a great time at Cafe Roux in Central. It is a wonderful little cafe with separate rooms for entertaining and dining. The place is owned by Rick Bennett. I was hired to play acoustic blues during the wine tasting event hosted by Debi & Lonnie Nogle from Lafayette, Louisiana. They taught us the fine art of wine tasting which is like an exact science, including seeing, swirling, sniffing and sipping. Needless to say, after the third bottle to sample, we were all feeling really good. And there were five more to go. My buddy John Baute rode along and helped me carry the amp and gig bag. He's an unpaid roadie. And I don't know how many verses I forgot when I started playing again, but no one seemed to mind. We were all singing and laughing and enjoying the food. Check out Cafe Roux sometime and if you know of a cafe that is willing to host a similar wine tasting event, let the Nogle's know. www.debidoeswine.com
