Veritage Miami

(9-22-2016) June Morris, the Marquesa du Vin (co-chair) of Veritage Miami (United Way Food and Wine Festival).  She’ll take part in the Crush-a-thon working against 3 others to see who can crush the most grapes by stamping on them.  She also talks about this year’s other events.

Also with us,  Alex Rodriguez, owner Palomilla Grill, a Cuban family-run restaurant.  His father started the restaurant in 1975. Alex took over 3 years ago after his father’s death, keeping the Cuban tradition with some modern touches.  He will be participating in the Veritage Craft Beer tasting, and brings his Croquettas Palooza for us to taste.
