Proof

They say it's in the pudding, but here, it's on your plate. Then it's quickly gone and you're left dreaming both of that last bite and the one that's yet to come. By the time you've finished them all, it's nothing but sweet memories.

When I think of the word proof, wine is not the first thing that comes to mine.. it's the hard stuff. At only about 25 proof for wine, it's no 151. Maybe they were talking about the food? Wine is certainly their thing, with 40 bottles by the glass and another 1000 bottles on top of that. You won't be disappointed with the selection, but you will with the dent they can put in your wallet. Our table went by the glass, that's the point anyway, isn't it? More and more I'm going by the glass, because I love to try different wines and it's a great way to do it in a place with a great selection like this.

The food, well.. it's amazing. This is certainly a place for special occasions, and you're going to pay for it. I'd come back in a heart beat. So, without further adoo, let me just introduce you to the outstanding choices we went with on this evening.
