In our eating and drinking anniversary festivities, FT and I decided to try Little Dom's in Los Feliz for lunch. We sat at one of the booths in the bar area and enjoyed the warm afternoon sunlight streaming through the expanse of windows. The bartender was our server and he was superb. He was personable, recommended an excellent summer afternoon cocktail (that he prepared with evident expertise) and when it came to dessert, suggested a strawberry polenta shortcake that I nearly finished off without giving FT a taste!
While we were there, we noticed an advertisement for their next Monday night wine tasting. We queried the bartender about it, and found out that they did a wine tasting every Monday night, from wines they usually only sold by the bottle. They run about $15 for a three-wine flight and are available throughout the evening.
We decided to check out the one on the 21st, and invited two other couples to join us. We met at 8 PM and found seats around the bar. Four of us went with the wine flights (a selection of whites from northern Italy), while two of the gentleman decided on beer, albeit Italian as well (Peroni). Our favorite bartender (whose name I have yet to ask) was there again, and was very knowledgeable about the wines he poured. (He also poured generously, a fine trait in a bartender!) Although I am usually a red drinker myself, I quite enjoyed the selection, especially when we paired it with two desserts (a delicious cheesecake and a trio of sorbets). Combined with the pleasure of good conversation, it was another excellent Little Dom's experience.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to attend a tasting since then, but, fingers crossed, I'll be at the tasting this Monday!
