Liz I went to the wine tasting at Belle Havana. It was an incredible pairing of food and French wines. You have to go for lunch and try the Belle Havana Burger
(Spanish Chorizo with Swiss Cheese, and Avocado. After one bite I decided I would never eat another Hamburger or sandwich again. I’m going back for the wine tasting again; Fred Cottineau promised that they would be adding Champagne to the next tasting menu. Love your Blog.
