The Wine Cellar is very happy to present the wines of Kermit Lynch and the cuisine of Michael & Tom Lachowicz at the fantastic Le Francais. Kermit Lynch has over thirty years of finding some of Frances most obscure wines and this will be a tour of some of his best estates, matched with an 8 course menu. We will have a wide selection of wines available for a pre-dinner wine tasting that will pave the way for this wonderful evening. Price per person is $145 all inclusive. For more details or reservations please call 847-776-1000.
