Gavin came with me down to the private opening of Bottlerock Downtown, a new wine bar down near the Staples center. They have a Culver City location I've definitely enjoyed in the past. It's a really cool looking spot and I think they're going to just kill it down there. Between George and Randi and the list they've compiled, it's going to be a very serious destination.
Onto the food... For our charcuterie platter, we did a pig ear terrine (pictured), a confit pork, and a fois gras. For the cheese platter, an epoisse, a bandaged cheddar, and a spanish blue.
Here's Gavin, first to try the Pig Ear Terrine. Actually it was pretty good. The hard part to get over though, was the texture. Even though it was in a gelatin, it was still pretty clear that you're munching on a pig's ear.
