"Natural wine is not unlike abstract art. Everyone has an opinion on it, even if they have no idea what it is. But whether you have thoughts on how minimal-intervention winemaking fosters a true expression of terroir, or you have the urge to slap anyone who says the word terroir out loud, you’ll enjoy LaLou. The long bar and private backyard are nice places to hang out for hours, which is exactly what you should do while enjoying a few rotating small plates, like chicken liver mousse and endive salad with a friend." - bryan kim, hannah albertine, nikko duren, willa moore
