Upcoming Events

We’re now SOLD OUT for our latest Partake event at Middendorf’s Slidell — a Wine Tasting Dinner on Wednesday, March 1, 2023 at 6:30pm.

Kristen Wright with Copper Cane Wines and Provisions will join us to showcase a selection of their unique wine brands:  Belle Glos, Elouan, Quilt, Böen and Steorra.  This is a wonderful opportunity to taste these wines and discover their distinct qualities.  Copper Cane is based in Napa Valley, California, and their wines are crafted to offer a touch of luxury for everyday indulgence.  Owner and Winemaker Joe Wagner says “We are driven by a passion for making wines that reflect innovation and genuine craftsmanship.”

The Copper Cane wines will be paired with a four course gourmet meal prepared by European Master Chef Horst Pfeifer, current owner of Middendorf’s and former owner of Bella Luna.  Chef Pfeifer started his culinary education at 15 years old and opened Bella Luna, a fine dining restaurant in the French Quarter, at just 28 years old.  Bella Luna had beautiful dining rooms with great views of the city and the Mississippi river.  Many proposals were made there due to the romantic look and feel of the restaurant, and Chef Pfeifer was able to show off his skills as a European Master Chef — a big title that not everyone can put behind their name.   And fortunately for us, he will get to show off his skills once again during the Wine Tasting Dinner at Middendorf’s Slidell.  He is thrilled to present the following menu….
