4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: March 7 | Eater LA
"This 10-year-old Sherman Oaks wine bar does more than serve standard bottles: owner David Gibbs has a collection that includes vintage selections dating back to 1860. He’s proud of the wines that survived a 2023 kitchen fire that decimated much of the business; since reopening in December Gibbs is grateful to share a collection he started as a touring musician over 30 years ago. Chef Miguel Gonzalez prepares an unpretentious menu — Tater Tots with a scallion emulsion, charcuterie, gnocchi dumplings, and a salted caramel pot de crème — to pair with the wines. Gibbs employs some of the best in the wine business; it’s common to hear staff discussing the notes of a glass among themselves in the restored front room. Music is a huge part of Gibbs’s world: the immaculate sound system amps up the vibes. Get there early, grab a seat, ask for recommendations, and stay awhile." - Eater Staff
