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.

Vinoteque.
My friend Adam just opened a very cool spot called Vinoteque in Culver City. They have live music every night and small plates with wine pairings. I was supposed to stop by on Friday night, but Peter's flight arrived really late. I can blame my lame Friday night circling the airport on United.
I stopped in to see him last week and asked him what he was loving on the list and he pulled out J.J. Christoffel, Urziger Wurzgarten, Riesling, Kabinett from the Mosel. This is what Adam says, "The 2006 vintage is full-bodied with a little residual sugar, nice acidity and a lot of juicy fruit." It's $10 a glass, which is just a great price for a good glass of Riesling.
