rev:text	Had an hour or so to kill before we headed down the strip for dinner reservations, so we made our way through the sad, smoky casino, which was nearly deserted on Thanksgiving weekend, towards the ass-end of the Monte Carlo. The location of d.Vino is hidden at best (though strategically positioned right across from the theater entrance). We sat at the bar for a drink and I scanned the menu expecting to find yet another uninspired, sad-sack wine menu put together by some flunkie. Oops, I was wrong. Some pleasant suprises on there, including several more obscure italian reds, and an interesting assortment of beers from the same. Anyone familiar with Italian beermaking knows that for years the best we've been able to procure in the states is Peroni or Moretti, neither which are worth the cost of shipping it over in the first place. Imagine my surprise when they had a good half-dozen microbrews, including a $15-a-bottle chestnut ale. Well, I love beer and I'm a sucker for chestnuts, so I ordered it (got their last bottle). While we chatted up Brook, the bartender, we realized he was one of the very few that gave half a damn about the propagation and preservation of his craft; we discussed everything from the history of cocktails to the impact of different gins in a mixed drink. Our conversation meandered to the usage of bitters, and I lamented the fact that so few bars stock an ingredient necessary to my favorite libation: an Old Fashioned. He, produced a bottle of Fee's Orange Bitters from under the counter with a flourish, "You mean this?" SOLD. Yes, bad idea to mix drinks but finding a barkeep that doesn't screw up an Old Fashioned is a rarity. His was one of the best I've had, ever. He also challenged my wife's assertion that gin drinks taste terrible by whipping up an ominous-sounding cocktail called "Satan's whiskers" and offering to toss it and make something else if she didn't LOVE it. Well, he lost no money on that wager. She's adding it to her permanent rotation. We hadn't the chance to investigate d.Vino's food menu but it looked varied enough. It's on our list to try in the future, even if we won't stay at the hotel next time.
