Croatian Wine Dinner in Berkeley
April 2, 2007 – 2:07 pmIf you’re in or near Berkeley, California, you might be interested in checking out a four-course wine tasting dinner at Caffe Venezia on Thursday. Good labels, to be sure, and great accompanying dishes. I’m tempted to go just for the lamb braised in paprika and tarragon.
