An
elegant evening featuring wine from Argentina paired with
an exciting menu created by Chef Bob. I have tasted the

be tantalized! Although when Chef Bob was explaining the
famous “chmichurri sauce” it sounded like Jimmy Choo and
all I could think of was shoes and shoes! But the sauce
was perfect with the Beef Tenderloin.
