On Saturday, I took Christina and Kevin here after we went to Bay Meadows. The boys, obviously, wanted more "substance" so they went to a taqueria across the street while Christina and I dined at this wine bar. I never understood why wine bars dont sell food as wine goes great with food...

anyways, needless to say, we went to a wine bar to EAT, not to drink.

we ordered the brushetta, of course (in order of preference):
Brie with Apples
Roasted Peppers with goat cheese
Olive Tapenade, feta, cucumbers and tomatoes
Gorgonzola and honey

and then we shared a tri tip salad. although the meat wasn't like what we are use to seeing, it was quite good...and they even split the salad on two separate plates without us requesting it.

the boys finally joined us and ordered a 2 cup french press coffee...with a side of whipp cream that was just deliciously whipped!

The atmospher is quite cozy. there's a live jazz band on fridays and saturdays (possibly other nites as well) and on a beautiful day like saturday, we had the opportunity to sit in the back patio.

On a side note, a bottle of wine is only marked up $5 more from the retail price.

I will definitely be back for more....
