I’m starting to get down to the wire with my 11 restaurants of 2011 list! Here’s where I currently stand:
Apparently I don’t want to cross Zack Bruell off the list since he still has two restaurants remaining…
This Friday I was able to cross off La Cave Du Vin – thanks to my lovely friend Michelle ! She knew I was running out of time in 2011 and kindly offered to help me pair down my list.

All of the pictures in this post are from La Cave’s website – because let me tell you – it is VERY dark in there. Which is definitely fun, and gives the whole place a laid back, almost sort of “secret club” vibe – but it is NOT conducive to good pictures.

We ate down the street at Pacific East – then headed to La Cave for drinks. I started with a glass of Rosé (from their huge wine list) – and it was absolutely fabulous. I wish I could tell you what it was – but I can’t remember.

I wanted to make sure to try both a wine and beer offering, so after my Rosé, I headed over to their beer cooler where they have tons of selection. You just pick your own bottle, and then the bring you the bottle opener and the appropriate glass.

I picked a bottle of Three Philosophers (Ale with Cherry Lambic) based on a recommendation from Michelle – and it was TOTALLY. AWESOME. So awesome – in fact – I looked for it at three different stores this weekend to try and buy some for my fridge at home, and I couldn’t find it.

We didn’t try any of the appetizers they had to offer since we had eaten right before – but it wouldn’t have mattered. There’s no way the food could have been a make or break deal. I absolutely loved La Cave, and wish it was closer to my house. Or maybe not because that would mean I’d go to happy hour a lot more often. 
Bottom line – if you have the opportunity – I highly recommend you stop in to La Cave and grab a drink – you won’t be sorry!
Now who wants to take bets? How many more restaurants can I check off in the last half of December?
PS – Don’t forget you still have about 30 hours to enter the coffee robot giveaway !
