Ajiaco question #2: wine?
It appears that Cafe Colombia, while they do have the ajiaco my pa-in-law has been craving, does not serve any alcohol, which means he can't have his necessary wine, unless of course they allow it to be brought in. So: any more suggestions?

Perhaps Chibcha ? see post- tho I haven' t actually been there. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/78787 ...any I wouldn't hesitate to call Cafe Colombia to see if they'll let the pater familias bring in his own wine.

I've had the ajiaco at Cafe Atlantic in Pasadena (yes, I know it's a Cuban restaurant, but they do a great version of this) and they do serve wine and mojitos made from real fresh sugar cane juice. The menu is at: http://www.xiomararestaurant.com/CAFE...
and more info can be found my clicking on the link on the website for Xiomara, its sister restaurant.›3 Replies-

This could be the best choice, provided that Xiomara hasn't gone and banished Cafe Atlantic altogether. Last word I got was not terribly encouraging; anyone been there lately? I have heard it's been demoted to a broom closet off the alley, probably a slight exaggeration...

Okay, this is NOT good...I just followed a link to xiomarrasrestaurant.com and wound up in NoCanDo Land, with all the major search engines declaring bafflement. Not a total surprise, given the contents of a conversation I had with one of her former vendors a year or so ago, but if her site isn't even up, I'm having serious doubts about the restaurant(s).
