WINE-OH! FRIDAY

Some upcoming wine events to whet your whistle this week:

Best Cellars features Kay Agnew of Design District cafe Margaux and her acclaimed Cajun/Creole-influenced cuisine at its Saturday Chef Series on March 10, 2-4 p.m. Agnew’s fare will be paired with four wines including a Blanc de Blanc sparkler from Louis Perdrier, a nice Argentine Rose, and, one of my faves, a spicy McPherson Sangiovese. Best of all? It’s free, plus featured wines are 10 percent off.

Off the Vine/Into the Glass highlights the wines of Australia at its Monday Night Tastings on March 12 at 7 p.m. Enjoy sips from such celebrated vineyards as Janz, Yalumba, and Torbreck. $35 per person.

La Cave hosts a tasting featuring wines from Rhone producer Ferraton Pere et Fils Saturday, March 10, 11 a.m.- 1p.m. The tasting is complimentary but reservations are required.
