Join your friends and neighbors for a very unconventional guided wine and cheese tasting hosted by James Beard Award nominated “Wine Guy” Dan Davis. We will explore the finer points of pairing wines with cheese, drink a little too much wine, and eat a little too much cheese. Costumes, hats, and pets are always encouraged!

September 29th Theme: French Quarter Fest in Exile! Featuring Dr. Sick & the Late Greats

**Special IN-PERSON tickets are available in very limited quantities. For just $50 per person, you and your friends can join us at SoBou in person and enjoy the show with us while we produce it, including a meet-and-greet with snacks and extra musical performances JUST FOR YOU!

VIRTUAL-ONLY TICKETS:

Delivery vs. Pick Up - you must select based on your address.

· Delivery to Orleans Parish addresses only.

· Orleans Parish Pick Up: Commander's Palace in New Orleans

· Outside Orleans Parish Pick Up: Langenstein's in Old Metairie, Acquistapace's Wine and Cheese in Mandeville, Calandro's Supermarket (Perkins) in Baton Rouge, and Phillippe's Wine Cellar in Lafayette. Commander's Palace has partnered with some of our friends to help you join in on the fun! Please buy a ticket to our zoom event and we will signal your retailer to put together a complete package of the same wines and cheeses that Dan will be tasting on air.

Your payment at the retailer will be approximately $100 for your entire package of wine and cheese. Retail location pickups are after 12:00pm noon on show day.

Here’s how it works:

· Each ticket is a tasting for two to four people. You can increase the cheese portions to allow for four to six people.

· Order by 11pm on Sunday 9/26/21 for this week’s fun. Act fast, though—tickets sometimes sell out quickly.

· We will deliver to anyone in Orleans Parish upon request. The delivery address cannot be changed after purchase.

· Deliveries will be made on Wednesday (show day). There MUST be an adult present to accept the delivery. We will call you at the number you provide when we are on our way.

· Pickup will be available at Commander’s Palace on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons the week of the show. We also have pickup locations where you can purchase your bundle in Old Metairie, Mandeville, Baton Rouge and Lafayette. Retail location pickups are after 12:00pm noon on Wednesday, and your retail location will have everything packed up and ready to go.

· Wednesday evening at 7:00pm we will all get together on Zoom to enjoy the wines and cheeses together. The tasting will be guided by Commander’s Wine Guy Dan Davis, but he WILL NOT be responsible for any questionable behavior after the third bottle is opened.
