They're open all day, too, so you can just kind of wander in at any time, which is nice. Mon Oct 19 16:33:00 -0700 2009 5115396 11553 Jack Flash 1 5116340 Try Vertical Wine Bistro. They open at 4 pm on Sundays if I recall correctly. http://www.verticalwinebistro.com/ Mon Oct 19 22:48:34 -0700 2009 5115396 11583 ipsedixit 2 5116392 I didn't check their hours; I just assumed Vertical wasn't open all day, or at least not open in late afternoon, but if it is, then I would wholeheartedly second the recommendation. It can get pricey depending on what you order for wine, though. Mon Oct 19 23:46:56 -0700 2009 5116340 11553 Jack Flash 3 5117465 the good news in all this Vertical discussion is that David Haskell, formerly of Bin8945 in Weho, is now running the wine program at Vertical, and his knowledge and selection will be top-notch, so at least the value will be there, and your economic and taste dictates will determine how much to spend. Weho's loss is Pasadena's gain. See you soon on North Raymond Avenue! Tue Oct 20 11:00:24 -0700 2009 5116392 10359 carter 3 5118858 sara levine is no longer the chef at Vertical wine bistro.
