Pour it on
Spend an evening with three lucky friends in the private wine room at Cesare's Restaurant and Wine Bar in beautiful Downtown Stillwater, learning about and savoring unique and uniquely delicious food and wine pairings while traveling the twisted mind of one of the Twin Cities’ most controversial performance artists: Fringe Board member Howard Lieberman. In addition to all he does, Howard is also ridiculously knowledgable about wines from all over the world, and is a long standing member of the Society of Wine Educatiors. Howard will be joined at this bacchanal by his Fringe fanatic wife Pat Moore and maybe his friend and master storyteller Loren Niemi (Loren hasn't actually been invited yet, but he's never been known to say no good food and wine).
