ADELE CORRIGAN WADE of 13 Celsius was named this year’s Iron Sommelier at the annual wine-fueled event benefiting the Periwinkle Foundation.

Nearly 500 patrons attended the tasting and competition, held at the Post Oak Hotel, where 12 of Houston’s top somms selected their favorite wines and were rated based on their choices, presentation and knowledge. Bludorn, Le Jardinier, Trattoria Sofia and March were among the restaurants represented.

The evening raised a record-breaking $420,000 for the Periwinkle Foundation, which funds programs for children, young adults and families who are fighting cancer and other critical illnesses.

Five Fabulously Diverse Exhibits Are Arriving at Museum of Fine Arts Houston

Bill Viola’s ‘Ascension,’ on display as part of ‘Living with the Gods’ at MFAH

THE ARTIST WHO ushered in the expressionist movement in the early 20th century was not, in fact, Picasso or Matisse. It was Paul Gauguin, whose career spanned the decades just preceding the turn of the century. The French painter is the subject of the Museum of Fine Arts’ latest exhibit, Gauguin in the World, which was organized by Henri Loyrette (formerly of the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay, Paris). The show, just one of the museum’s diverse winter season shows, debuted in Australia in June and will be on display through Feb. 16, 2025, at the MFAH, the only U.S. venue for the survey.
