WINE BAR REVIEW: CORK BAR -- WORSHIPPING AT THE ALTAR OF CALIFORNIA

Last week, Derek and I had the pleasure of visiting downtown L.A.'s newest wine bar, Cork Bar. We loved the laid back, rock n' roll vibe of this hip new eatery (and drinkery.)
The place specializes in the bounty that is the great state of California. The wine, beer and food is all sourced from local artisans. The menu is fantastic, with everything from small plates to hearty entrees. We loved the savory cheddar gougieres as well as the duck and pork dishes we tried. I have a feeling that anything you get there is going to be amazing as we tried several dishes and they were all delicious. I love the fact that they only serve California wine (I know you didn't see that coming), because it forces you to try things you might never have tasted. They have a wonderful selection of wines at surprisingly affordable prices. The bartenders are enthusiastic and know their stuff, which always make a visit to a wine bar way more enjoyable. They also have special events like winemaker dinners and live music on Sundays so we'll be sure to visit again. It may just be our new favorite spot downtown!
