It’s your go-to place for wine discoveries and flavor-happy small plates. So then we know your new favorite spot will be at their newest wine temple… Bottle Rock Downtown, opening later this week.

The new Bottle Rock includes everything you love about the Culver City favorite - the way you can try any wine if you order two glasses, a library of rare wines by the bottle, the deliciously interesting selection of cheeses and charcuterie, the high-energy music, the egalitarian philosophy, you know - all the good stuff.

The downtown spot offers nearly a thousand bottles to satisfy your vino explorations, along with plenty of interesting craft brews on tap. The space is much larger, and includes a communal table, a lounge that can be rented for private parties, outdoor seating, cherry floor-to-ceiling wine racks, and a long, sleek, granite bar.

And it even boasts a full kitchen, completely open to your view. So you can watch Chef Jared Levy and his crew turn out things like house-made Foie Gras Torchons, Pork Belly Risotto, Pan-Seared Diver Scallop with Crispy Lamb Sweetbreads in a Coriander glaze, or Fresh Fava and Pistachio Falafel.

Oh, and you can purchase any bottle to go, for your more intimate hanging out occasions.

Like we said, it’s your new favorite.


Bottle Rock Downtown opens later this week. Call ahead first.

So with less than sixty days to bonus season, it’s time to consider indulging a little. Will it be another piece of limited-edition art? Or a portfolio of rarefied Champagne vintages? Have it all…

From the House of Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin and the award-winning Porsche Design Studio comes VERTICAL LIMIT, a visually-stunning, brushed steel cellar with individual compartments for twelve of Veuve’s most prized vintages. Think of it as the ultimate trophy for your inner Champagne connoisseur.

Standing over six feet tall, the handmade VERTICAL LIMIT combines two of your favorite luxuries: outstanding design and crisp bubbly. Each shelf holds one vintage magnum (the perfect size for Champagne) at exactly 12? Celsius (about 54? Fahrenheit) in a sound- and vibration-proof environment. You can saber a rare ‘55 or keep it modern with a ‘90 - you decide.

And if all that talk about rich French Champagnes and illustrious German design doesn’t persuade you to take a look, consider this: each one goes for $70,000 and there are only two available in the country.

Cheers.
