The earlier outings in this culinary tour of Latino America have been outstanding, or so I've heard, and this bill of fare looks mighty good, too.
Costa Rica Wine Dinner @ Seviche – Goose Creek Road
Wednesday, Sept. 24
7 p.m.
$55 per person (plus tax & gratuity)
Chef Anthony Lamas will be offering his fourth wine dinner of a very special series inspired by the culinary traditions of the 27 different Latin American Countries. Each of these dinners will focus on a different Country and will be paired with unique wines from around the world.
