LEO's Eats with Robin Garr
Whether you identify as a wine geek or a lofty connoisseur, if you fancy the fruit of the vine, chances are you're already a fan of L&N Wine Bar and Bistro.Its massive Cruvinet wine unit, the largest made, dispenses wines from 54 well-chosen bottles; an additional wine list raises options to 100 or more. You can order by the bottle, by the 6-ounce glass, or - best of all for the hobbyist - in 2-ounce tastes to line up into a flight.
But what if you're not a wine connoisseur? Is there anything here for you?
Well, if you're open to learning about wine, the abundant selection and affordable tastes - not to mention the guidance of savvy staff - can make your learning experience easy. Tastes start as low as $2.25, not for jug wine or blushy white zin, but offbeat options like Argentine Bonarda or a Grenache blend from Catalayud in Spain.
Don't like wine? Enjoy an artisan beer or a cocktail. Even teetotalers can feel at home here: The well-fashioned American bistro fare goes very well with coffee, tea or Louisville pure tap.
