When The Wine Bar is Closed...

I know many of you were probably eager to get to the WB - to meet me or to try The Holly - after reading my last couple of posts. And I'm sure you rushed out to The Wine Bar on Sunday and/or Monday evening only to find the lights off and the doors locked. 

Forgive me. I neglected to tell you one disappointing fact - throughout most of the year, The Wine Bar is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
There is a bright side though! Starting July 7 (until late-August), The Wine Bar will be open on Mondays! 

So, what does the Mayor of the Wine Bar do when the Wine Bar is closed? Where does she frequent? 

Well, aside from the WB, one of my favorite restaurants in Saratoga is The Mexican Connection (located at 41 Nelson Avenue in Saratoga). If you haven't been, you must go. The ambiance is warm and casual, the food is tasty (but don't bank on authenticity) and the margaritas are the best in town.
Since the WB was closed, it seemed like a good night to take Joe (the manager of the WB) out to dinner. We were also joined by Matthew Loiacono and his partner Erin. Matthew is actually a well known Capital Region musician. I had the pleasure of hearing him perform live to a packed house at Caffe Lena on Sunday night. To give a listen, check out his myspace: www.myspace.com/matthewloiacono.
