Bar food and wine pairings

Here it’s easy to let a half liter of one versatile wine take you the distance, whether white or red, as we did with the appealingly fresh and thirst-quenching Elqui Valley Pedro Ximenez. The margherita pizza with mozzarella, tomatoes, and pecorino is as perfect as pizza gets.

A little dish of meatballs on the specials list one night is as perfect as meatballs get.
