| - I'm only reviewing the wine shop right now, but may go back for the food:
So. It's finals week. My last finals week. And I felt like a bottle of wine would help me study! I decided to walk down the street and try out the Light Bistro's little wine shop.
Walking in I was kind of afraid I wouldn't be able to afford the wine...
By the way, the restaurant is very romantic, beautiful art on the walls, great soft lighting. The bartender was very friendly as well, he directed me to Pete, the wine guy.
I was given a "tour" of the wine, which was fun! The room is small, has maybe 6-8 sections of wines. I was informed that the Chef had personally chosen and tasted each wine, and that wines were sourced from small, independent growers.
And, to my pleasant surprise, they had a great range of prices!! Definitely a lot of bottles under $10, but of course all the way up to more than I could imagine paying for a bottle of wine.
I did ask about the menu, wondering aloud if there was anything vegan. Pete's eyes lit up and said, "There might be one or two things. But, if you call a day or so in advance, Chef would be more than willing to make a special trip to the market and create something special!!"
