UNEXPLORED BURGUNDY WINE TASTING

Tuesday, March 14 | 6:30pm | Murphy’s Restaurant

Why should Mersault get all the attention? Burgundy is bustling with smaller villages that get almost no love from us Americans. But all that is about to change at Murphy’s wine tasting event on Tuesday. For $25, you’ll get a tongue-tantalizing tour of the lesser-known Burgundy wines that will knock your socks off. Grab your tickets here.

Don’t miss the opportunity to indulge in a mouthwatering meal while you sip your wine. Here are our faves from Murphy’s menu.

CULINARY FIGHT CLUB

Thursday, March 16 | 6:00-9:00pm | Smoke Ring BBQ 

Everyone knows the first rule of Fight Club: you do not talk about Fight Club. But do you know why? Because you’ll be too busy chowing down on some of the best pork plates in Atlanta. And mama always told us not to talk with our mouths full.

The theme of this Fight Club contest is Pork: More than Just Bacon. Get over to Smoke Ring BBQ where some of the city’s culinary geniuses will spend 60 minutes preparing the perfect pork dish for event attendees to taste and vote on. Get your ticket here.

If you’ve never experienced the joy of Smoke Ring BBQ, add some of these savory BBQ plates to your pork-tasting repertoire.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY OUTDOOR BLOCK PARTY

Friday, March 17 |  noon-11:00pm |  Fado Irish Pub & Restaurant 

There’s hardly a pub in Atlanta not offering some kind of St. Patrick’s Day corned beef and cabbage, Guinness, or green beer special. But there’s only one block party in Buckhead, and it’s all starting at Fado Irish Pub & Restaurant. Imagine…day drinkers, clad in green, filling the street, dancing to any of the live music acts scheduled to perform throughout the party.
