Personal Notes:
I know this was made at Willowbrook with Lucia and me because I had a bottle of Tarragon Vinegar I carried around with me for the next 10 years:) Not many uses for the Tarragon Vinegar but it is crucial to this recipe. The Bearnaise is a great sauce and can be used for other dishes. Much better than packaged stuff.
