It's Cinco de Mayo and we don't usually celebrate drinking holidays that fall on a Thursday since it tends to be amateur night. Call us snobby, but you know it's true.

So what is further away from a Mexican restaurant than a wine bar? Exactly!

Revolution Wines used to be on P Street down a little pathway between two buildings. I loved it since it was very unique. But they moved to S Street where they have a full-blown kitchen and room to hangout. Overall, a great move! Their menu might be small, but the variety is lovely and the small portions are just fine since we are talking about rich, deliciously flavored foods.

You can do a wine tasting of 7-8 wines for $8, or just buy a glass of what you know and love. Either way, it's not too bad on pricing and you can tell the food has been developed to bring out the best in their wines.

Here is a sample of what folks had. Black truffle mac n' cheese, savory chicken pot pie with crusty skirt, brie and red pepper bruscetta, goat cheese and roasted garlic crostini, roasted beet salad, farmer's selection of meats and cheeses, coffee mouse, homemade "poptart" pastry. And they were all really good.

Staff were a little disorganized, but they let us do the tasting at our big table, which meant coming back over for every pour. And they let us stay past their 9pm closing since they were staying to close down anyway, AND they even offered to get us coffee from Temple next door.

Overall, it was a great time and I would suggest it to anyone. Go, take your time, try their wines and nibble your way through their menu.
