That title above is a tagline and it’s pretty darn
perfect. About a month ago, I went to a
rosé
tasting at Tannin’s Wine Bar and Kitchen
on 15th and Walnut and tasted about five, seven, ten, who knows?
different varietals of my favorite summer drink. Yes, of course, small sips only. Then, this week, I went there for one of the Restaurant Guide’s Dine-Arounds which
introduces hotel professionals to various restaurants in town. Tannin’s has been around since 2011 and the
wine choices, and their knowledge about those wines, has always been excellent.
What I was reminded of, both times, is how good their food can
be, too. Their appetizers are varied and
fresh. We had three different small
plates that second night – a bruschetta with grilled bread, heirloom tomatoes
on garlic basil spread, an ahi tuna dish with avocado and red cabbage spicy slaw,
and a pork tenderloin on brown rice with buttered beans, tender-crisp carrot
and cucumber. Though they said there was no dessert, they presented us with
peanut butter cookies, no, bars almost, that were drizzled with caramel and
chocolate. I don’t even like peanut
butter anything, other than sandwiches (PB, butter, bananas) and Reese’s cups
for some strange reason, but these were spectacular, along with everything
else.
Besides dinner, Tannin’s is a good place for late night
eating and drinking including Saturdays and Sundays when they open at 4 p.m.,
lunches during the week . . . whether or not you drink wine, happy hours five
evenings a week, and a tasting menu.
People always leave Tannin’s happy – is there anything else to say?
