Michael Mina To Host Private Dining Experience At Bellagio Restaurant In Las Vegas
We really can't get enough of exclusive dinners with our favorite chefs because there's really no better way to get an up-close and personal peek at how they do what they do. Plus, it gives you bragging rights for years. Renowned chef Michael Mina is hosting another exclusive wine dinner, but this time it's at his restaurant in Bellagio, Las Vegas. The event is being held on Wednesday, August 20 at 7 p.m. and we can't wait.
