Vino, te quiero

Tonight in between stops we paused for a glass of Carmenet Pinot Noir at the Wine Bar on Polk.  The place was surprisingly decorated with what looked like personal nostalgia items ... big plastic sunglasses, "vintage" iPods, wine stoppers, and more.  We had a glass and then "shared a glass" and the amazing $21 worth of wine, smelling herbal but tasting subtlely rounded and provocative like any good pinot, makes this place worth a return visit. 

I think, however, that the bartender spoke a sum total of two words: "It's Nice."

He was right ... the pinot was nice, and the place was nice. I'll try it again.
