Tonight we stopped @ Parea Wine Bar, on our way back from a spoken word event on Valencia St. The place was simple, modest and quite what we were looking for. We very much liked the ambiance. Much better than the 4 cheeses we had.

Here is the story about the wines we had:

Domaine Boissieu Gamay 2007 (red)

• pepper and spices on the nose
• too much alcohol
• 3/5

Charles Branger, Muscadet, Loire 2008 (white)

• very light, very acid
• apples, waterish
• 2/5
