    Quiet Wednesday evening at Bacchus. Ordered a Vouvray by the glass. Was told that while a bottle was available, they didn’t want to open it to serve a glass. Their menu listed it as available by the glass. A little weird for a “wine bar”. They offered a white rioja, in lieu, saying that it had similar flavor notes to the Vouvray. I suspect that all Loire valley vintners would disagree. Small plates were good. Pork belly Bao buns were very good. Octopus was tender, tasty, but a little salty. Winter seafood chowder was very, very salty. Couldn’t eat it. Halibut, another large plate, was overcooked. Also salty, but edible. I like salt, but chowder was salted beyond the point where you could taste the seafood. The creamy broth was as salty as sea water. Someone messed up. We won’t be going back!

    The wine pairing dinner was exceptional. The sommelier’s choices matched the courses beautifully. The lamb dish was outstanding.
