The outlook is rosé The annual New Orleans Wine and Food Experience is a festival of tastings, pairings and parties to give local restaurant and hospitality partners a boost headed into the slow summer season. There's way too much wine to sample it all, so Ian McNulty walks us through his strategy. 3. Wait! There's more. Central City's Mexican standout Casa Borrega has closed: What's next for the concept? The server at Queen Curry took our order for spicy noodles, but not without a warning. And Toro Sushi and Sake will open in Bay St. Louis for Asian fusion and a rooftop bar. 4. Classic supper.
