Chicago is famous for its restaurants and we ate in a few. On Thursday, Linda and family had dinner at a small Italian restaurant called Buona Terra in the trendy Logan Square area. It's a little neighborhood place that, judging by the crowd, is obviously popular with the locals. The pasta was excellent. They also have our Cabernet Franc on their wine list. On Friday night, 12 of us had dinner at Rosebud Prime, a posh steakhouse in the city's downtown. They offer our Cabernet Sauvignon by the glass and have for years. We enjoyed the steaks and shared some delicious side dishes. It's a nice feeling to travel the country and find so many great restaurants that serve our wines.
