CorkBar - Downtown LA

This relatively new wine bar in downtown Los Angeles has been on my list of regular visits for a few months now. I try to go on Tuesday nights when they have a “chef’s special” menu item for just $2… it’s different every week, and no one knows what it will be until the morning of when the chef arrives. Pork tenderloin and skirt steak salad are a few of these items I’ve had and they all have been consistently excellent, as are the rest of the predominately small plate food items they serve. Sit at the bar and you will quickly befriend one of the knowledgeable bartenders to guide you through your wine selection for the evening. The bar features mostly California wines, which keeps the confusion level to a minimum.
