Italian food was invented with wine in mind, because that has been the drink of all classes since the glory days of the Roman Empire. It’s in the genetic heritage of Italian restaurants, and good ones pay attention to maintaining a well-stocked cellar. Great ones maintain an abundantly stocked and thoughtfully curated collection. That’s what you find at The Bottle Inn. At both their original location in Hermosa and the new one in Redondo there are bottles from all over the world and at almost every price point. Whether you want a simple glass to pair with your pasta or a magnum of Super Tuscan, they have you covered.
26 22nd Street, Hermosa Beach., (310) 376-9595. 1700 S. Catalina Ave., Redondo Beach. (310) 543-6800.
