Oh, this review breaks my heart. I am so disappointed.
Whoever decided to close down their wonderful little original store and move into this ridiculously tiny hovel needs to be sent to detention for the rest of the school year. And the next seven years after that. And perhaps a lifelong membership after that.
They've moved into a teeny, tiny little place that I'd say 85-90% of their original content is no longer there. Gone are the cheeses and pates. The cookbooks and the great majority of all their wine plates and trinkets.
All the charm is gone. The wine selection is greatly diminished from what it used to be. With everything else missing, it's lost everything that made the place great. But I found at least one bottle of wine that I liked. Not that it was hard to do in such a tiny little rack that now makes up their selection. It's like a casino convenience store now.
I can only guess financial reasons, or someone in the Paris made them move, but the end result is depressing. I can't believe that they could justify doing something so foolishly reckless to such a wonderful little place.
Changing up La Cave like this is the "New Coke" of bad brand decisions: Pointless and awful. But Coca-Cola eventually came to their senses and went back to their original ways. I sincerely hope La Cave will do the same.
