ELV wasn’t his usual self the other day, so instead of polishing off a bottle of viscous, lychee-redolent gewurtztraminer (Zind-Humbrecht or Trimbach, usually), followed by a nice, perfumy Volnay, he decided to slug down a couple of cocktails at lunch — just to take the edge off the afternoon…if you know what we mean.
Happy Bastille Day and Vive La France!
Today is French Independence day, and we at ELV can think of no better way to celebrate than with a glass of wine at Marche Bacchus — our one, true French bistro. Severing the heads of our aristocracy is, of course,optional.
Golden Gate Hotel Shrimp Cocktail
When ELV first moved to Vegas in 1980, these were 25 cents. Then for about a decade they were twice that, and then, for like fifteen years, they were a buck.
