For over a decade Rock ‘n Roll Wine has been creating some of the most unique, high-energy wine and music events in the country.

While guests get the wine flowing with a stellar lineup of headlining wines, live music on two separate stages will get their blood flowing featuring Billboard chart toppers Better Than Ezra, Antonio Beliveau of alternative rock stalwarts Crash Kings and more. Better Than Ezra garnered critical acclaim and chart success with their #1 single “Good”, plus “Desperately Wanting”, “Extra Ordinary”, “King of New Orleans” and more. Beliveau’s Crash Kings single “Mountain Man” soared to #1 on the Alternative Rock charts in the spring of 2010.

ABOUT BETTER THAN EZRA Along with such similarly styled outfits as the Goo Goo Dolls, the New Orleans-based trio Better Than Ezra helped open the floodgates for countless alt-pop acts of the late ’90s (including Semisonic, Matchbox Twenty, and Third Eye Blind) by merging college rock influences with mainstream aspirations. Better Than Ezra’s first major label album “Deluxe” spawned a sizeable radio hit with “Good,” which helped push the album to platinum status by the end of 1995. Since then the band has consistently produced riff driven melodic hits such as “Extra Ordinary”, “Desperately Wanting” and more, much to the delight of their loyal fan base.
