Wine and Whiskey - A Perfect Pair

So I've been reading a lot about a new bar and restaurant in Brooklyn called Char No. 4, and now there's an article about it on Gourmet's website. Located in family friendly Cobble Hill, it's a whiskey bar for the most part, but the wine list is supposedly killer. As a special Thanksgiving treat, I'm thinking about checking it out over the weekend. If you're in the neighborhood and looking for a really great bottle of wine or a $200 sip of Scotch, I recommend checking it out. You can follow the link to read the entire article, but here's a segment to get your taste buds excited.

"The wine list at Char No. 4, a new restaurant in Brooklyn, is fabulous: Darting Riesling from Germany’s Pfalz region and Roagna Dolcetto from Alba, both by the glass; a small but smartly chosen selection of half bottles like Robert Sinskey's Carneros Pinot Blanc or Pibaron Bandol; and a full-bottle list that reads like a compilation of the world’s best undersung wines—and tops out at $78. Yet despite those temptations, all I wanted was whiskey. The place is steeped in it, from the wall of bottles behind the bar to the whiskey-barrel-shaped lights overhead that throw a warm bourbon glow."

Happy Thanksgiving! I'll be back to blogging next Monday.
