THE ROTTEN BUNCH WINE BAR + KITCHEN http://therottenbunch.com/
The planned opening for The Rotten Bunch in Avery Ranch is slated for Fall 2015. Their aim at the Wine Bar is to show that wine isn’t as pompous as it seems. Co-owners Arik Williams & Alan Thomas want to make wine accessible to everyone. They realize wine can be intimidating. According to Williams, “it’s just rotten grape juice, so we shouldn’t be afraid to ask questions and try new things.” The front of the restaurant will be the retail area called the “bodega”. Here you will be able to purchase bottles of wine and beer, along with charcuterie and cheese. The wine room will be visible to everyone. There will be a 24 ft. bar made of reclaimed white oak. There will be a back patio that may not be open right away; but, when it is, it will have the feeling of being in a living room – nice and comfy.
The menu will consist of food made with simple ingredients: hand-pulled mozzarella, meat and cheese plates, risotto, chocolate truffles and lemon icebox tarts.
The name of the restaurant is meant to remind diners to have fun with drinking wine. The owners take their jobs very seriously, but, want their patrons to feel sophisticated, but, also feel comfortable wearing flip-flops.
Look for a future blog after The Rotten Bunch has opened. I’m looking forward to relaxing and having a sip or two!
