The Havana Bar at the Holiday Inn is hosting monthly wine tasting events and the second such event was held on Thursday the 4th of July. Since this rather conveniently coincided with the American Day of Independence, it was fitting that the wines featured were from California.

The Havana Bar is the perfect setting for events such as these and the 100 or so guests were entertained by a highly skilled musician singing and playing acoustic guitar, providing an ideal backdrop to the evening.
