They say the best way to learn about wine is by....learning it from the best sommeliers at @lecordonbleulondon & @terlatowines! 🍷

Today, I got to experience a lunch with @lecordonbleulondon featuring @terlatowines. I learned a TON about the wine making process & even tried a new wine, @loveblockwine made from green tea extract!

@lecordonbleulondon is offering a week long summer course in London where you can learn from the best in the wine industry! Thanks for having me today at Tangley Oaks! (partner) #terlatowines #winetasting #lecordonbleu #wine #lakebluff

@tantachicago, located in River North, focused on regional Peruvian specialities but also includes dishes influenced by other cultures. My favorites were the classic ceviche and sweet corn empanadas. I recommend getting the ceviche trio so you can try them all. They host many events like their Mother’s Day buffet! Their seasonal rooftop is also awesome ☀️☀️#chicagorestaurants #rivernorthchicago #rivernorth #downtownchicago #chicagobrunch
