500 plus revelers, 2 venues, 40 different wines from around the world. Welcome to the Soulard Mardi Gras "Wine Taste of Soulard". Sponsored by Virgin Vines, Fetzer Vineyards, Korbel California Champagne and hosted by yours truly.

This image, though not technically perfect, captures the mood of the venue. The old Lemp Brewery stables. Original bar, chandeliers, and wood floor polished by countless thousands of partiers feet. The Virgin Vines, super wine by the way, neon blended right in below the original Lemp sign.
