Holiday Parties & Wine

Parties are on the agenda for many New Orleanians this holiday season. I am looking forward to a few of my own. Customers at Dorignac’s Food Center are asking an important question: What types of wine and/or spirits do I need in order to host a great celebration? The following list contains your party must-haves.
