The perfect neighborhood wine store should have three things: A great selection for every budget, a hands-on owner who personally tastes everything, and convenience. Jill Bernheimer's new DomaineLA has all of that.
You can stock your cellar from the selections at her Melrose Ave. shop, but Bernheimer isn't a wine snob: She believes wine is an everyday drink that goes with anything.
So she's exclusively offering Tasting Table readers a pack of wines that pair perfectly with takeout from neighborhood spots like Mozza and Street. Just mention TT when you buy these three bottles, and you'll get the fourth for only $1. To make it even more convenient, you can order online for quick pickup.
2008 Luli Pinot Noir ($20) Rotisserie chicken, like California Chicken Cafe's, needs a medium-bodied red, like this Santa Lucia Highlands wine, which is loaded with bright strawberry and cherry flavors.
2008 Charles Smith Kung Fu Girl Riesling ($13) Riesling is always great with Asian cuisine. Drink this citrusy, dry wine with curries, like those from Street.
2007 Roagna Dolcetto d'Alba ($19) This northern Italian wine has enough acidity to cut through the fat and spice of a Mozza 2 Go salami-and-chile pizza.
2008 Infinity White Blend ($10) This Central Coast blend of Grenache Blanc and Viognier is filled with floral aromatics, nice minerality and tropical fruit flavors. Buy the other three bottles, and this is yours for only $1.
