Yum! We were not expecting this to be so good but it rocked! The fish was great, as well as the cabbage. It was delicious!
Baja Fish Tacos
Leigh Beisch
Andrea's wine pick: There's nothing like the lively character of a French Sancerre--made from sauvignon blanc grapes--to complement the bright flavors in the fish tacos. Look for Domaine Reverdy-Ducroux Sancerre Beauroy 2004, $17.
