OK, so you are driving down lower Westheimer and see a wine bar ... it looks strip mall from the outside but who knows?
You walk into a late afternoon oasis. Pleasant staff, beautiful fixtures suitable to a wine bar in southern California. The staff greeted me with a smile and walked me through the lengthy wine list.
I hung out in my comfortable banquette drinking fabulous wines. As my mellow haze progressed, I moved up a level to the dining area and took in the menu. Too many choices at first sight but ultimately I went to the favorites recommended by my waitress.
Empanaditas and truffle pate were fabulous additions to my decadence. Dessert was wonderful brownies. Overall an unexpected evening.
Pros: great wine list, pleasant staff, beautiful ambiance
