Wed Dec 29 17:54:19 -0800 2004 0 OCBites 1 352418 We've only been twice. Tannin's is more a restaurant than a wine bar, at least it was up until our last visit (maybe 6 months ago). The food is OK, but not impressive........mostly Italian (we see pizza coupons from there). More important, I would think is that the wine list is really very good, though somewhat pricey, if AI recall correctly. I've been told that the barstaff is much more knowledgable about wine than the table wait staff (which was relatively clueless on both our visits). The website says that all the wines on the list are available for tasting. If true, that's pretty impressive. Please let us know.

Good jazz, dark & romantic... Thu Dec 30 12:41:01 -0800 2004 352331 0 torta basilica
