REDFISH AT RAVINE!!! The latest from Joel and Ravine - Oxford, MS

Hello once again,

I hope everyone is enjoying the spring weather as well as spring break (for those that actually have one!). I do have a few things to mention, but first and foremost, to announce the next food and wine pairing.

Italian wines will be the theme for the pairing in March, with some Italian food styles to match. The next pairing will be held on Wednesday, March 30th, beginning at 6 pm. The cost will be $35 per person, and Shanna has lined up some real gems for us to sample, and we may revive the bolognese from L&M's that we had last year for our Italian tasting! Please remember to call early if you are interested, and cancellations less than 48 hours in advance will mean we have to charge your card in full.

Secondly, while our Sunday Supper menu seems to continue to draw a crowd, its time for a price increase. The recovering economy, inflation, and increasing costs(gas) from our purveyors have forced our hand, yet it will only be $2 extra for the prix fixe meal. Starting this Sunday, March 19th, the cost will now be $25 for the 3 course meal. We hope you understand, it's still quite a deal!

Finally, I have ordered some amazing redfish from the Gulf of Mexico, it should be here on Friday night! The new purveyor I am using out of New Orleans has provided some amazing fish, so come out this weekend and check out just how fresh it is.


Thanks as always,

Joel

Interview with Wayne Andrews of the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council in Oxford, Mississippi

I love Wayne Andrews for a multitude of reasons, and the latest reason would be this one:

Yoknapatawpha Arts Council Launches the Oxford Art Crawl

Oxford plans to start a new monthly art crawl highlighting the private galleries, museums and community art spaces.
Oxford, Miss. –Oxford will be hosting a monthly art crawl with a traditional double-decker bus transporting people from Southside Gallery, the Powerhouse, Frame Up Gallery, Gallery 130 and the University Museum on the fourth Tuesday of every month.
Oxford has been recognized as the new home of the arts in the south with its multitude of visual, performing and literary artists who reside there. Various art groups have coordinated efforts to organize this unique event. Mary Katherine Milner, director of Tourism for Oxford has shared “Oxford is a hot spot for visual arts and we thought that these once a month tours would highlight the various venues in our community while showcasing the talent of our local artists.”
Traditionally the museum, gallery and exhibit spaces each held separate receptions. The organizers hope that through coordinating receptions, the scale of the event will bring visitors to enjoy the openings and the nightlife in Oxford. Visitors of the monthly art crawl will be able to park in one location and enjoy a ride on the historic double-decker bus to each venue, which will each host a reception from 7-9 p.m. Visitors will have a chance to meet with the artists, enjoy a glass of wine and walk the Oxford square. The Oxford Art Crawl begins Tuesday March 22, 2011 from 7-9 p.m. For more information on the Oxford Art Crawl, visit www.oxfordarts.com.
