LA

Lou was the site of my first exposures to Foillard, Pinon, and Puzelat's Brin de Chevre. So they get an eternal pass in my book, even if they decide to start dispensing Preys Fie Gris from an eyedropper into customers' expectant mouths.

Oh, and the Monday Night Suppers are the best deal in town, hands down.

Andy,
You should feel fortunate, nay, honored by your baptism here. This is a time-honored tradition here at WD and its precursor site, but in the absence of VLM it has been oddly shy of profanity. And lest you think yourself unfairly singled out, let me assure you that several winegeeks of my acquaintance have experienced far worse treatment. Of course, if you aspire to greatness, shrill ripostes and screeching denunciations may still be within your arsenal of responses.

Had this not come following a few other "Falling Down" inducing moments today, I hope I would have been sharper and quipper without just getting annoyed.

Cheers Mark. I raise my Super Big Gulp cup of 35 year old La Tache to you.

Back to original topic, Baccaro LA in West Adams (yes, that West Adams) has outstanding food for a wine bar and they have a few interesting and oddball wines.
 
Just bugger off already, will you?

I keep checking the site for a hint of fb's festive favourites and half the new pixels are jostling for fuckwit Hall of Fame entry.

I may be wrong, but wasn't 1974 La Tche one of those vintages that left France and was immediately sent to Las Vegas to be sold as "fine wine" to unsuspecting tourists from Kansas?

The food there actually is pretty good, but as you indicate, the wine list at Baccaro isn't as adventurous as it could be - maybe they're just a little too wary of offending their cougar clientele mining the unwary talent from the nearby USC dorms.

I still prefer Lou On Vine, particularly since Lou reached that point a year or two into it where he said "fuck it, I'm going to pour what I like and if they don't like it, there are plenty of other wine bars in town". Not that they're blowing through a lot of Rombauer chardonnay at Baccao, but I've had no issues with the glass sizes, the wine selection (even if I can't pronounce the ones I i>have heard of) and Lou's taste in music is weird enough to make me comfortable.

Ah, we've all been through it at the beginning of our tenure(s) here at Wine Disorder. The politburo just needs a disciplinarian of some sort to keep things heading in the appropriate directions. Maybe they could find an octopus and tenticaltively appoint it as our Sergeant of Arms?

-Eden (more to the point, Lou on Vine is a good place to hang while I'm doing laundry next door or to relax after the Thai massages they give a few doors down)

Be fair, Yixin: You and Nathan between you set some fucking high standards.

fb is crocked. Bad back.
 
When will we see this clause invoked?

Ah - I finally went to the link. Er Ur URL. Yes, after several decades of this misguided experiment with "church-state" journalism, we've finally gotten the media back where they belong - licking our boots. Why "pitch" a "reporter" (read: wine and dine and otherwise bribe a writer to copy and paste your words into a publication or broadcast) when you can just write it yourself? Plus you get the byline. Like anyone cares who did the typing!
