At 2 a.m. this morning we had a visitor at Mediterranean Kitchen. We weren't open but she decided to take a keepsake - our red and white geraniums, in their terracotta pots with saucers. With a distinctive butterfly tattoo on the left side of her back and another tattoo on the right, using a blue car with at least one other occupant, if you recognise her please let her know we're looking forward to our flowers returning.

A very informative tour of Peregrine Wines a few weeks ago, including the vines, grapes under fermentation and the barrel hall, concluded with tasting some of the Peregrine and Saddleback wines, including the newest member of the family, Saddleback Chardonnay. We are now fortunate to be one of the first to offer this, noting it pairs well with our seafood dishes, including our grilled fish main. Come on down and try it for yourself this weekend.
