no, say it isn't so!

Saturday night, since it was a delightful evening, not too freezing cold, we ventured out for an evening on the town, starting with Tex-Mex at Los Amigos and some sour lemon margaritas.  Seems like their margarita recipe had changed since the last time we were there.  After that, it was a stroll down the street to Vin Vino, the new incarnation of Kabinett, so we could check out the new place.  Which, by the way, now has a smaller dining area, has no desserts on their menu, and has an industrial style decor.

We decided to try the "wine flight" because we had no idea what any of the wines were.  Used to be that there would be about 4 or 5 red ones and 4 or 5 white ones to choose from if you just wanted a glass of wine.  Now, there was one white, and 5 reds.  And each month, the wine region changes.  For March, it's France.  For April, it will be a different region, but they didn't know which one yet.  So if you didn't like the one white wine available by the glass, and you didn't want to buy a bottle, you were out of luck.

So, here's the wine flight.  Note the little, tiny glasses.  I usually like to take a whiff of my wine before sipping, see if it smells like wine.  Here, all I got was eau de dish soap.  And of all the wines, I only liked the last one, the $10/glass one.



After Vin Vino, and still in search of dessert, we headed over to Chef Meili's for sacher torte and apple strudel.  As always, delicious.

Here's a shop sign in Itaewon.


NOOO!!  Say it isn't so!!!  Taco Bell is coming to Korea!  In the building where Patio used to be located, just down the road from the Itaewon station.
