23June2013_1_Buzz-Quarterly_Two-Good-WinesAh! Another great Quarterly Dinner at the Buzz! Some really good wines and the dinner was a good surprise. Especially the Caribbean Grilled Shrimp Salad and the Brown Sugar Pound Cake with Praline Sauce. But then, the tarragon cream sauce with the roast beef was a hit too! Oh please! Stop! The memory! See what you missed? The photo here are two wines that were not on the list … They are extras. The Evolution was the better of the two, so far as I am concerned. Below are some photos of the dinner. Do enjoy. The wines that were saved are also listed along with a rating based on [20]. Cheers and please VOTE above. Thanks.
