We had a family restaurant in town until this past fall, when a sign went up announcing a makeover. Well the same owners just reopened it as their second Chocolate Grill. The original is in Old Town (you know, canoes, et al). Well, as you might guess it is a bistro type concept and overall very nice. However, their wine list is a disaster. Have offered my services; we shall see!

The red wines are OK except for dearth of pinots. The total mess is the white wines, where the menu is heavy with seafood, even in the pastas. Every single one is an oak bomb. Do you know that even the Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio and the Luna di Luna Chardonnay/PG are now filled with toasted oak dust? The only SB was Sterling at $25. There was a Mirrasau Pinot Blanc, and forget the chardonnays. Big disappointment.

Just when you think people are beginning to understand wine, something like this has to happen!
