Bon vivant in the Big Easy

Last summer we were in New Orleans, the Big Easy, as a part of our 'the sound of the South' trip. We met the Belgian proprietor of one of the nicest wine bars we ever visited, Patrick's Bar Vin.
In this month's issue of Gazette van Detroit you can read more about Patrick Van Hoorebeek, one of many Belgians who have made it in the US.
