The entree will be a double-thick Prime Pork chop Arrabbiata, stuffed with hot Italian sausage and Ricotta Cheese and an Espagnole Sauce served with Potato Gratinee and Zucchini and Yellow Squash Medley. The evening will be capped off with a delicious Orange Torte for dessert. Make your reservations now for this exciting and delicious night with America's oldest winemaking family. |

Enjoy upscale jazz in the cool night air!
Chris Cortez returns to WCG Friday night as he continues a 'mini-tour'
from his home state of Texas! Joining him will be Lowery Hicks on bass,
Sam Bruton on keyboards and Jeff Mills on drums.
Hugely popular, the guitarist/vocalist's newest solo CD, 'Mum is the Word', delivers a blazing set of acoustic, straight ahead jazz and follows the success of his 2004 release, 'Hold It Right There', a straight ahead session of standards. He also produced, performed, and wrote many of the songs on Groovopolis, another previous smash smooth jazz release. Prior to that his two solo CDs, the latin jazz and fusion project, Talamasca, and his first solo disc, Territorial Imperative also garnered rave reviews. Chris Cortez has become an active and influential force in jazz. He performs solo, leads his own groups and backs up many national artists. You can hear music from many of our artists in the Virtual Lounge on our website! |

| Jay Stevens |
A unique acoustic performer
Jay Stevens is a Hattiesburg native...a USM graduate and a very talented
musician! His brand of acoustic blues, combined with a little folk and a
hearty dose of Southern rock makes for some great entertainment.
Relaxed and easy to listen to, he delivers a mature sound that is built on strong vocals and equally strong talent on the guitar. He throws in a little harp just for good measure. His influences include Neil Young, Chris Isaac, Bruce Springsteen and Keith Whitley, to name a few! Jay is an accomplished songwriter and he's even got a cool song titled 'In the Pinebelt'! Visit his myspace site linked below to check it out! Hope to see you this weekend! |
