Sustainability Series
The NOLADrinks Show “Sustainability Series” brings you important conversations connected to the world of drink, food, and culture. Topics include environmental issues, social justice, and health and wellness. The series looks at these themes as they relate to the liquor industry, the hospitality industry, food and food production, cultural preservation, and much more.
French Quarter Fest Series
Check out our French Quarter Fest Series! We interview musicians who play French Quarter Fest, Satchmo Summerfest, and more! Interviews are taped live at Louisiana Music Factory. We talk music, drink, food, culture, and more!
Liquid Luggage Series
Learn about unique and interesting spirits, check out cocktail demos from talented bartenders, and much more on our “Liquid Luggage” Series presented by PM Brokerage. We’ll regularly bring you this series both as a stand-alone podcast and part of full show epsiodes. We’ll feature video demos, drink recipes, and more info on what we taste!
Hey All! We hope this post finds you and yours well! We especially hope that our friends/neighbors/listeners here locally affected by Hurricane Ida in New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana are doing as great as you can be and that you are on the road to recovery. We will back with new shows soon and will also be rolling out some previously recorded episodes from before the storm that didn’t make it out before the disruption.
We are counting ourselves very lucky, all things considered, here on The #NOLADrinks Show. This shot is from our post-storm evacuation to Memphis where, among other cool things, we got to visit Sun Studio where so many rock n’ roll, blues, country, and R&B legends made their indelible marks. The mic I am holding is an original(!) Shure actually used in the studio in the latter half of the 50’s! Apparently, when studio co-founder, Sam C. Phillips, donated it back to the museum, he insisted that people be allowed to handle it when they visit. Man, I was careful!
Looking forward to getting back on my humble mic soon and bring you more of the show as we “explore the world of drink, food, and culture in New Orleans and beyond!” Be safe, be well, and take care of each other! Cheers, You All!

On this edition of The #NOLADrinks Show with Bryan Dias, we are all about one of our very favorite wine producing countries in the world – Georgia! It’s the cradle of winemaking and boasts some terrific wines at a tremendous value. The story is rich in history and tradition but may not be known as well to some of you out there. On this show we focus on the western portion of the country. Our guest is Julie Peterson from the Marq Wine Group, an expert on wines from the region and wine economics.
Please note - we encourage you to check out the show we did in April of last year, where we focused on the east region and gave a lot of background info on the winemaking history and practices (very unique!) in Georgia. This episode builds on that one, in a sense. Just visit our website NOLADrinks.com and search for "Georgia" - you'll find it! Click the link in our bio to get this episode! Cheers and Be Well, You All!

We discuss a host of issues including equity in the hospitality industry, customer behavior during the pandemic, and a whole lot more!

Hey All! Our latest The #NOLADrinks Show with Bryan Dias is all about “sustainability behind the bar!” Pictured here is a great way to create something tasty, long-lasting, and will save a whole lotta oranges! It’s an Orange Oil Tincture that works great in place of using an actual peel each time and makes for an easy expression in cocktails.
Hear more about this on the episode and get the recipe, courtesy of @themayhaw bar at @st.rochmarket, in our show notes. Link to it all in our bio! Cheers and Be Well, You All!
