Thank you Cheuvront for challenging me. I have grown weary of all the so called wine bars around that boast more college students and second rate wines than actual good ones. I've been meaning to try this place for awhile. It feels super fancy but you can show up casual. When I walked in I felt overwhelmed ( in a good way ) about the great selection of cheeses and wines. You can also get champagne by the glass! Real champagne from France. I felt silly trying to pronounce all the names of the different cheeses and such. Good for them. It's about time my know it all butt was put in her place. I ordered a glass of sparkling white wine called Gruet Brut from New Mexico. Light, airy, refreshing and paired really well with the Abbaye de bellocq. This is a french cheese that was creamy and practically melted in my mouth. To top it off I had one of the best martinis of my life. A chocolate martini. Just imagine: Godiva liqueur, FRESH mint and actual little rounds of chocolate in the glass so you had a reward for finishing. Two complaints: first is what is up with the bathroom? I found it slightly confusing and hot as cuss in there. That should definitely be fixed. Second: according to yelp happy hour started at 9pm but when I arrived i was told that it didn't start til 10pm! I even showed them the yelp announcement. Oh well didn't get happy hour prices but still a good deal in my book. I will definitely return for dinner and their happy hour.
