Headline: Eat, drink and even learn a little at the Museum of Science & History’s Science of Wine event
The Science of Wine is back Friday, Sept. 9, for its seventh festival at the Pink Palace, part of the Museum of Science & History (MoSH).
Think of it like a smaller-scale wine and food festival where you eat and drink and, if you want, learn; the educational component is up to you. The motto is “wine and food pairings with a side of science.”

Uncork your inner sommelier — and your inner scientist. The Museum of Science & History (MoSH) will host the seventh annual The Science of Wine event on Sept. 9.
This is not your normal wine tasting. Yes, you will get to taste some amazing wines — around 40 to 50 will be poured. But this event is being put on by the education department of MoSH (formerly the Pink Palace), and they couldn’t help but turn it into a fun — and educational — night.
“The Science of Wine is truly a party for your palate,” says John Mullikin, education instructor for MoSH. “Fans of science, wine and the Memphis food scene will all experience something new, from discovering new varietals to learning about the wine-making process to finding a new favorite chef.”

“Vertigo” at the Memphis Museum of Science and History, Saturday:
Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Vertigo’ will screen at the Memphis Museum of Science and History on Aug. 13. (Courtesy MoSH)
Last week, in recommending a screening of the David Lynch film “Mulholland Drive,” I mentioned the once-a-decade film poll by the British magazine “Sight & Sound,” the latest version of which is coming out in November. “Mulholland Drive” was the highest-ranking 21st century film in the 2012 poll, but big news then was the elevation of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 noir “Vertigo” to No. 1, breaking the 50-year reign of “Citizen Kane.” To be honest, “Vertigo” isn’t my favorite Hitchcock (that’d be “Rear Window”), but it’s probably his most obsessive and commanding film, an absolute must-see for anybody who cares about the medium. And this week offers a rare chance to see it on a big — likely really big — screen, MoSH’s Giant Screen theater, with an intro from local filmmaker and film professor Steven Ross. Alicia Davidson has more here. 5:30 p.m. reception, 6:30 p.m. talk, 7:15 p.m. screening. $23. See here for more info. — Herrington

5 Star Stories: ‘901 Student Passport’ takes Shelby County children to the museums of the Bluff City
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) – The “901 Student Passport” is in full swing providing free admission to all Shelby County school-aged children and their families to historic sites and cultural institutions.
In light of that, we’re sharing what we found at those places during our weekly quest to highlight the things that make us proud to call the Mid-South home. So, this 5 Star Story is a stop at all nine locations on the list.
Our first stop is the Fire Museum of Memphis inside Fire Engine House No.1 at 118 Adams in downtown Memphis. Billed as “the hottest attraction” — the interactive fire museum promotes fire safety and the heritage and contributions of fire service to the community.
Next is the Museum of Science & History or MoSH, formally known as the Pink Palace Museum, a place to explore, discover and experience history, science, culture and nature.

“Kat, for her part, is a novice, yet to become a full-fledged sister, and part of that process is coming up with a novice project for the community’s behalf. Serendipitously, a representative from the Museum of Science & History had reached out for the group’s insight for its exhibition about LGBTQ+ history in Memphis, “Memphis Proud.”
“They said, ‘We want the sisters to be involved,’” Kat says, “And I said, ‘Well, I could sorta do chemistry while dressed up.’” And what unfolded are the Cocktails & Chemistry sessions, at which Kat, as part of her novice project, will lead participants through “actual, real experiments. It’s very college-level and intense, but it’s none of the hard stuff, none of the math, none of the ‘Oh my god, I’m going to fail,’ none of that. It’s all the fun stuff.

Flashback to 1976: Two Memphis boys, Mike Baker and Rusty Brown, are exploring Nonconnah Creek when they notice something strange sticking out of the sand. That something turns out to be a freaking mastodon tusk! Because for at least three million years, the American mastodon roamed the woodlands in these parts. That tusk is on display at MoSH, and now that mastodon has a beer created in its honor. Crosstown Brewing Co.’s Mastodon Double IPA drops on Thursday with a beer release party at MoSH featuring a laser light show in the Sharpe Planetarium and live music by Lucky 7 Brass Band.

Cocktails & Chemistry with the Blue Suede Sisters
Museum of Science & History, 3050 Central
Friday, July 15, 6 p.m.-11 p.m.
I don’t know whether to just accept Gunther as a third roommate (one who doesn’t pay rent) or to come up with some kind of contraption to get rid of him. But I’m not a scientist nor do I fool with ouija boards, so it looks like acceptance is the path I got to take. Of course, acceptance is the final stage of grief, and I don’t think Gunther has gotten past the first stage, denial, so that means I have a one-up on him. But getting drunk on self-righteousness and power is not a solution — you know what is, though? Alcohol, chemically speaking. Just ask the Blue Suede Sisters, who know a thing or two about the chemistry of a good time, something that I’m sure Gunther could use a dose of. Maybe a large enough dose will encourage him to move on to the party of a lifetime — or should I say the party of an afterlifetime.
This weekend, the drag nuns are hosting two sessions of their Cocktails & Chemistry soiree, where guests can purchase drinks from the cash bar and mingle with the Sisters before performing science experiments downstairs with Sister Kat Ion. Guests are encouraged to bring a lab partner or one will be assigned.

Allen made national news because of the change; they are also featured in “Memphis Proud: The Resilience of a Southern LGBTQ+ Community,” a new exhibit at the Memphis Museum of Science and History (MoSH).
