Novella Wine Bar

Do you ever drive by a place and point it out as a place you need to go to soon? I hate to admit @novellawinebar is one of those places.

Big Guy and I decided to stop talking and go to this hidden gem. We went in prior to happy hour and found ourselves able to enjoy a quiet moment with the owner before the rush of the evening.

Our conversation led to the perfect wine choice for our adventure to come with our small plate choices. We opted to try the stuffed dates, flatbread, and polenta fries. As each plate came to our table, we were delighted with the outstanding presentation and rewarded with delicious flavors. Big Guy, who is not a fan of any type of blue cheese, was converted to the delights of gorgonzola cheese in the dates with the mix of honey and walnuts wrapped in bacon. He loved it so much we ordered another plate.

We are lucky to have wonderful restaurants and bars in Saint Louis. I know this one will become a favorite stop even if we are late to the party!
