A neat wine bar that opens late than it’s store. The bar counter area is a little unconventional, with a bare wall, which I found refreshing. A lone bar tender serves the room – six of us in total. I’d think on a Friday night, it would be a lot busier.
Love their skinny water glasses and stems.
The four wines – one white and a few red – we tried, are fine but not love love.
- Diatom Chardonnay
- La Petite Lune, Merlot blend
- Peza do Rei Mencia
- Sottimano Mate
- Cafaggion Chianti
Paying forward: the couple sat next to us, bought a bottle for a near by residents: “the parking lot is rather small for my truck,” the husband said. So they parked on the street, in front of a house. As they got out, they saw the couple were drinking wine on their small front porch. They chatted briefly and they said, when you come back, please feel free to park here. So our drinking mates at the bar got a bottle for them. “We’ll just leave it by their door, as a surprise.”
As it happened, I’m just done Arnie Schwarie – Arnold Schwarzenegger’s book that got published two weeks ago: Be Useful, The seven rules to follow to realize your true purpose in life. In it, he stressed the value of an hour a day (do whatever it’s important to you, continuously…), to be useful, to chase your dream and to be kind to others. All of these, makes the doer happy and people all around happy. A book I normally won’t read but it showed up on my Libby, and I’m pretty glad that I did and finished it. Being kind is a trait that you can hone.
Afterward, we went to Ybor City for the Halloween party.
