I like to consider myself the Carrie Bradshaw of the wine world. Not because I am a particularly talented writer, but because I love LA as much as she loves NY AND my expenditures on wine equal hers on Manolo Blahniks. In the 2006 calendar year I spent $13,846.37 on wine. Retail. For some big collectors that’s nothing, I know. But for me, with my modest income, that’s more than I pay annually in rent. And that’s why I’m like Carrie Bradshaw, she couldn’t afford her apartment either.

Through rose colored glasses.
Henri Billiot NV, Brut Rose. This was the favorite at the wedding with our guests! Truly refreshing sparkling Pinot Noir. It's not a meaty rich rose, but rather has a lots of bright raspberry fruit. Still, it's serious wine. The estate is just a little over 11 acres, all Grand Cru. Super small production and family owned.
I couldn't actually find any full bottles to take a picture of!
You can get this at Wade's Wines (off the 101 in Westlake Village) for around $60.
Hey, btw, please send me pictures and tales of your favorite LA wine places. I would love to post someone's opinion other than my own!
Also, I forgot to take a picture, but had a really fun meal at Primitivo last night with friends. We drank 2004, Bruno Clair, Marsannay for $15 by the glass. A terrific end to our meal! Light and refreshing.
