Wine bars

[patticky]

We have a few more wine bars in the Albany area. Cella Bistro in Niskayuna is very nice (got a great review from The Times Union). It's located on Rosa Rd. And All Star Wine & Spirits has just opened a wine bar in Latham Farms, Latham. Maybe we're catching up with the rest of the country. Finally.

"The Wine Bar" in Saratoga is one of the best I've ever visited and can't wait to do so again this season.

I'm ashamed to say I haven't been to The Wine Bar yet. I plan it for after the racing season. Isn't there another wine bar opening -- Limencello??? I thought I passed it on Broadway when I was shopping earlier this summer; it hadn't opened .

Unfortunately for Limoncello it appears that they will miss a good portion of this year's Saratoga summer traffic. As of this past Sunday they still appeared to be very much under construction.

I believe that Mark Graham is no longer the chef at the wine bar. I haven't been there recently. It is a classy place. The wine bar aspect should not be adversely affected by any changes with the food.

Was at the Wine Bar yesterday; food is ok, not like when Mark was there. Wine list is still very California top-heavy. Yes, as Docsconz mentioned, when we walked by Limoncello yesterday, it looked like they have a bit to go before opening; they had hoped for July 4.

Mark is now the head chef at The Lodge. Max London is sous chef.

It's good to see Max back in the kitchen again. It seems that we have been waiting forever for his restaurant to open.
