Ammo is my favorite place to have brunch. I love eating here period. No standing in line waiting for overcooked eggs and bad service ala Dough Boys. Its way less sceney than Toast. AND I can have a nice little glass of wine at 1130am and no one judges me...
So here's what was on the wine menu last Sunday: Vinedos de Ithaca, Odysseus, Grenache Blanc, 2006 from Priorat (Spain). The winery was founded in 1999, the winemaker is young twenty-something Silvia Puig. Rumor has it she sleeps in the winery on the barrels during harvest. I love the oily texture and rich full body of this wine. Golden color and round mouthfeel with lots of apple and pear fruit - low acidity but I still really like it. It's $60 on the list by the bottle, and isn't the bartender cute???
In other news, I saw Sex and the City last night. OMG! LOVED! LOVED! LOVED IT! I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats.

Amy, this was a wine we fell in love with last fall. It was our first experience with this winery, and one that didn't disappoint. My only wish was that I could've have gotten an interview with Silvia, but as expected, she was swamped with the harvest. Maybe I can catch her again this year ;-) If you're interested in reading more about the winery, come on over! http://is.gd/uAW
Gabriella - thanks for the link! I have posted it in the blog as a link - it'sooo informative! :) AC
Cool! I'm glad the article was helpful!! And if you're itching more more info, drop me an email and let us know. I can't promise you I can coax Silvia out of her barrel sleeping secrets, but I can sure try ;-)
Hey Amy. We usually have the winemaker for Odysseus in to pour at our bar once a year as this is one of our favorite wines as well. And talk about class...Jose brings his own paella pans from Spain to cook with. Wouldn't want to get stuck with a shitty paella pan. No way. We love him.
Cheers,

John, you have to let me know when that's happening again... love the wines!
