Barbecue season is upon us! For many, it’s a time of spatulas, tongs, and belly–stuffing celebrations with family and friends. We carefully select cuts of meat, measure marinades with scientific precision and the beer pairing is barely given a thought. After all, beer is beer, right? Not quite. Each protein or vegetable has a specific flavor profile and deserves to be carefully coupled with a beer. During this reception style tasting at Martin Wine Cellar of Metairie, you will have the opportunity to taste over 70 beers and speak with our knowledgeable staff about brews for your barbecue. This tasting will feature a special selection of BBQ catered menu items from the Martin Wine Cellar Catering staff. So before you dump charcoal into the grill, join us for this fun filled tasting.

Join us at Martin Wine Cellar of Metairie for this seated tasting hosted by Wine Consultant, Leah Klausner featuring 8 Cabernets from Napa Valley. Napa was the area settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980’s, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. During this tasting, you will taste through this carefully selected list of Cabernet wines that display different wine making styles at a wide range of prices. The wines will be complemented by hors d'oeuvres and cheese from Martin Wine Cellar Catering. Space is limited so call 504.896.7300 to reserve your seat today!

These wines will be complemented by Italian cheese and charcuterie from Martin Wine Cellar of Metairie. Space is limited so call 504.896.7300 today!

Saisons is a French term and is a broadly defined pale ale. Saisons originated in southern Belgium during the 19th century and were typically brewed during winter and stored until summer months when they were given to farm workers as a form of hydration when water wasn’t suitable for drinking. Brewing in the winter provided farmers with work during an otherwise slow time of year.
