Last night, my girlfriend Michelle and I had the opportunity to have a fantastic meal. See, I am in this kind of "wine fraternity" and members are responsible throughout the year for chairing dinners.

So it's the beginning of a new season of a group of gentlemen that have been dining and drinking together, many of them for decades.... They have been gracious enough to allow me into the fraternity, which was far more nerve racking than it was in college, and last night's event starts the new season. It was an evening of... (more)

I ate at the "soft openning" of my friends restaurant last night, Rustic Canyon Wine Bar located at 1119 Wilshire Blvd Santa Monica, CA 90401 (310) 393-7050.

Score: 98 Country: France Region: Bordeaux Good concentration of plum, currant and berry aromas. It... (more)
