| - I had an incredibly enjoyable evening at Lago.
When my wife and I were first seated, I requested the wine list. I have to admit, I am not a big wine drinker. I know what styles I like but not winemakers, regions, and so one. When I realized how long the list was, I nearly fainted!
The sommelier quickly made his way over and man, what an awesome guy! He was able to relate what type I beer I like to drink to the wine list. He inquired about budget, which was nice, and found us a nice bottle from a region that he was particularly fond of.
I am sad to say, that bottle was gone in 30 minutes. It was that good! We liked it so much that the sommelier picked us out another follow up bottle after the first one disappeared.
I also enjoyed that the sommelier was able to recommend pairings for the wine as well. For the first bottle, he recommended a delicious sausage pasta. For the second bottle, he recommended some Spanish meats.
Besides the wine, the food was delicious. The good did make it to the table quickly, so I recommend spacing out your order..
I highly recommend Lago. It was one of my favorite meals in the States.
