The two wine dispensing machines at the bar area of SML were quite eye catching. There were 8 selections for both red and white. The restaurant was in the midst of promoting Mexican fair – chicken quesadillas, shrimp fajitas, salsa sauce, smoked salmon marinated in chili pepper and cilantro – my favorites! (more…)
