You might also think about Monte Alban (Santa Monica Bv. between Barrington and Bundy) for really good, and not very expensive, Oaxacan food. Other than that, listen to Das Ubergeek, whose word is his bond.

Jim’s Fallbrook Market, 5947 Fallbrook Ave in Woodland Hills (near Victory Bv) has dry ice cut to any size you want. As a lagniappe, they have terrific meat, and the service is great.

Hi, we’re coming for 3 days spring break week, and are looking for advice on where to eat. We like all kinds of food, nothing expensive though, and would love to try local specialties. We’re staying right near Union...

for cusine. The hardest request would enable me to bring a bottle of 68 BV from my cellar.

Porta Via in Pasadena. http://portaviafoods.com/ They have a small, but nice, selection of aged BV, including some 100, 50 and 25 year olds.

Please report back if the wine is good or not. I go to the Redwood City Grocery Outlet (I remember when it was called Canned Foods) and I am never sure which wine to purchase. Lately, I have been getting the BV Merlot for $8.99...

Joe, In fact when I called Galileo they said the corkage was $15 and I could bring anything wanted. Let’s just hope that they don’t start seeing a lot of BV Merlot California Coastal et al. They might re-think the...

If you don’t often get Oaxacan food where you are, you might want to try Monte Alban — Santa Monica Bv. between Barrington and Bundy in West LA. Good value and terrific food.

of at the moment. ETA: I just called Bella Vista, they said they were shipped four cases of Hopslam when it came out and sold out of it very fast. He said that your best bet is to go straight to the wholesaler, which is...
