A Selection of L.A. Wine Bars

Know something we don't?
Minutes from the Anaheim Convention Center, freeway-easy and two blocks from the transportation center (Metrolink/Amtrak), this handsome wine bar is located in a semi-restored midcentury downtown block with lot parking encircled by storefronts. It's an open-arms establishment that conveys ease in many ways: plenty of room in a space defined by wood and wine racks, lots of tables, well-priced flights, generous small-plates portions -- aaahh, no need to jostle or fight for attention. On a weeknight, the bar fills up first as regulars stop in after work and unwind to the smart classic-rock sounds. The kitchen's on its game. An amusing caprese salad on skewers -- heirloom cherries and <i>bocconcini</i>, lightly dressed -- is a tasty expression of California summer-to-fall; an order of three just-made dips and toasts could easily appease four; puff-pastry empanadas are fresh and flavorful. Weekly changing wine and beer flights (spotlighted on the website) are a welcome diversion for groups; the by-glass list ($6 to $24) invites exploration but is also an easy gateway to deciding on a bottle to share.
