Dellwood Speakeasy, Dellwood/White Bear Lake, MN
Tasted Saturday, December 14, 2019 by rocknroller with 156 views
Robert and Cheryl hosted this event at an old estate just off and overlooking White Bear Lake that used to have a Speakeasy hidden in the basement. The likes of area gangsters and Frank Lloyd Wright all made appearances here. We had a group of eleven for the tasting. We were fairly well behaved so we didn't get raided, and we fortunately were not forced to escape down the 250' underground tunnel into the subzero night to avoid the heat.
Thanks to Robert and Cheryl for all their work in arranging and pulling this evening off. And to Kathy for sharing her beautiful and historic home with us. And as always to everyone for their wine and delicious cuisine.
