Voodoo Vin
A spot that offers 400+ bottles of natural wines is worth the visit for a date night. Voodoo Vin, located in East Hollywood on Virgil Ave., really honors those vinters that choose to not make any concessions when it comes to creating their byodynamic wines through organic farming practices. The owners of Voodoo Vin describe their mission when it comes to introducing people to natural wines and the message is definitely worth sharing:
"When cultivated with the utmost attention and care, these wines shine with an expressive nature and capture a story of time and place that may never be replicated.
We don't stock wine just because we think it will sell. We taste every wine and carefully consider it before it makes our list. (Any bottle you find in our shop is a bottle we would drink ourselves.) Back vintages are aged in our cellar and released when we feel they are ready to drink or "showing well". It is our responsibility to represent these spirited wines and the people behind them with the utmost respect and most importantly in good faith."
Incredible small plates are highly appreciated on a date when a venue offers them. Voodoo Vin, going along with their theme of working with mother nature, have creative seasonal dishes that they can proudly say are made while maintaining a zero-waste kitchen.
