Mumm's the Word

Linda and I stumbled by chance upon a new wine bar, The Hidden Vine and we're glad we did. You wind your way down a staircase to a cozy retreat that feels a bit English--a sort of pub/parlor/hunting lodge combined. I often find wine bars a bit uptight, but not this one. David (in the pic above with Linda), who co-owns the wine bar with his wife Angela, was a charming host who made us feel right at home. The Hidden Vine features a different region each month and Thursday night is free cheese board night. A selection of South African wines are available in May. Visit their website for details.
