Lauren DeLuca of Lolo Vino will be at the tasting table, and you’ll sample a Chenin Blanc from South Africa, a California Sauvignon Blanc, and a Cabernet Sauvignon by Paul Cosentino.

Today, Studioplex in Old Fourth Ward has been transformed into an art festival/ gallery and studio crawl cleverly dubbed Studiofest!
The event combines an open-air artists market with a craft beer and wine tasting, plus all of the galleries, salons, businesses, and artists working in Studioplex will open their doors to the public. Good eats will be provided by the folks at Serpas True Food, and the organizers are raffling off $400 in prizes from the event sponsors and participants.

Following a live stage show filled with burlesque and comedy- amongst other things, the Plaza Theatre screens the horror classic Creature from the Black Lagoon- in 3-D, as part of the monthly Silver Scream Spook Show. Filmed in 1954 under the direction of Jack Arnold, Creature from the Black Lagoon was one of the first Universal movies to be released in 3-D and supposedly this is the last time that a print of the film will ever leave the studio…
