What a pleasure to stand to be able to watch and learn.....and taste every now and then!!! Debate which wine would pair best with various dishes!! Taste the elements of the dish individually...and then together.....how they all come together to create what can only be described as a 'Taste Sensation'!!
Becoming a Culinary Destination is one our Quest's and we are taking this seriously.
