Gulf Coast
Party at the ‘Palace’and a
Wine Experience to Remember The Gulf Coast Chapter began spreading its wings after we were given the green light to gather again. The extended lock down was over. And gather we did. The wine began to flow, and, in our area, good food always seems to follow good wine. Our local casinos provide opportunities for wine and food pairings and this past summer was no different. Our Gulf Coast Chapter joined other locals at the Palace Casino and Resort on two separate occasions for five-course dinners. The wine was excellent and enjoyed by all and the food was extraordinary! Following the first outing, our group moved the party to the Legends Hotel, a newly opened Luxury Boutique in Biloxi. We finished the evening with music and dancing at the Sapphire Supper Club where we were entertained by our local crooner Jessie Hill. We were pleased to have our Grand Commander Buddy Hagner and his lovely wife, Trish, join us for the festivities. A fine time was had by all. We joined together again in Ocean Springs, a lovely community that caters to the arts, for a seven-course paired tasting menu at Mosaics Restaurant and Bar. Our
8
group joined other locals for an extravaganza that included such tasty specialties as Spiced Lamb Lollipops, Wagyu Ragu Bolognese, Heirloom Tomato and Strawberry Salad, Bourbon Glazed Pork Chops, Watermelon Gazpacho, Wagyu Ribeye with White Truffle Butter and Duck Fat Fries, and Cake with Tawny Port. Our group finished the evening with a keen expectation for the next event that will be presented by these gifted chefs and wine lovers.
