Now 1,000 wineries strong, Washington is soaring into 2020 with momentum and energy. March is Taste Washington Wine Month, and there’s no time like the present to discover new favorites and hidden gems in the world’s most exciting wine region.
“Washington Wine is an endless well of experimentation,” said Steve Warner, President of Washington Wine. “We’re planting vineyards where we previously thought impossible, trying new techniques in the cellar, and generally pushing every boundary to its max. It’s an exciting time, for sure!”
Washington Wine will run a large advertising campaign to generate roughly 10 million impressions throughout the month of March. More than 500 wineries, restaurants, hotels and retailers will host special events and offer limited-time promotions, which Washington Wine will share and boost on social media to raise excitement and increase the collective impact. Washington Wine will also run a month-long digital series featuring the voices of our industry, winemakers and grape growers, speaking to what makes Washington so unique.
Also just in time for March, Washington Wine debuted a new logo with a simple, modern look to take the industry into a new decade.
Momentum will build all month long as a lead up to the best weekend of the year, Taste Washington. The 23rd annual event is happening March 19–22 in Seattle with a refreshed look and feel that builds on the energy and excitement from previous years, and embraces the ever-evolving wine and culinary landscape in Washington.
“Quite simply, Taste Washington is the best way to get a snapshot of the wine and food scene in the Northwest,” Warner said. “If you’re a foodie and a Washington wine fan, there is no better event out there.”

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
