This tower of wine glasses decorates (and functions) at the Nose Wine Cellar, where I was treated to a glass of prosecco and hors d'oeuvres after Saturday's poetry reading at Vroman's.Doesn't that sound downright snobbish? Squinch up your nose and say it out loud: "a glahss of prossickoo and oh dewves ahfter the pewetry reeding. Dahling."
That has nothing to do with the Nose, which isn't snobby at all. It's a nice place to eat and have a glass of wine (or a tower of glasses of wine). I didn't get to stay very long, but after a bite of cheese I regretted that.
The Nose is at 696 Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena inside Arcade Lane, a sweet little arcade of shops and dining spots. Worth a look, and there's parking behind (enter on Green Street).

Ah yes, I stand corrected. In some cases that would be two glasses of proshecko.
Make that three...
After three glasses it just becomes "ssshecco!". I can say that from experience.
Thanks for the heads up about this spot. It looks lovely. And we'll have to sneak by boor a taste. Or two...
Great shot! I would say, however, the service at this place hovers between comedy and tragedy--
Thanks, again, for coming! And Dez is right about the service--Whoa, Nelly.
Really? I left too early. But "whoa, Nelly" is one of my favorite expressions.
Everything goes downhill when you leave, sweetie.
Beautiful and great shot !! Enjoyed this post !!
Pour me a glass please. I usually drink reds but I will give this a try. Should go good with a triple cream brie.
We do not have any wine store here in Iran. It is fully forbidden to drink or sell wine since Iran is a Islamic country and drinking wine is a big sin in Islam but I know many people who drink. So it is exactly true that people tend to do all forbidden things!!!
BTW, I am drawing your card and will mail it by the next 2-3 days ;)
The company was great. Linda rules supreme among poets and who can look down their nose at grilled cheese?
I'm never hard on servers having been one. The last in a series of waitress jobs was at Little Joes on Broadway. They fired me. Said I was more roadhouse material. So true
You know all the fun places!!!
If ewe actcidentally drink two too many 2 glasses of wine, bcoming a Wino, there's a reason why the Coffee Tree is strategically placed next door for caffeine to water down some of the alcohol.
It just mite keep your nose off the floor.
I know you don't like smileys, but smiley to you, sweetie.
Thank you, Unseen!
It's bubbly like champagne, Mark.
It was true here during Prohibition too, Sarah. People will find a way, I guess. I look forward to your card. I have an idea for something for you. It will take a few more weeks.
PA, I think an establishment's prices allow you a certain expectation when it comes to service. I was a terrible waitress and that's all I'm sayin'.
Chieftess, I'm learning as I go.
A good idea for the next installment in the Quest, Cafe.
And they have a parking lot from Green St. ....fascinating....then you only need a coop.
PasAdj is right. The company was great! Jim and I both had such a really wonderful time. This is how life should be. A big Thank You to Linda and her husband.
Linda Dove's poetry is so visual. Of course I love it. I'm reading her book one poem at a time.
Parking is behind the place on Green as you say, Anon, kind of at the corner of Green and El Molino. Very convenient.
Shanna, I like to take a book of poetry and sit outside on a warm day. I'll have iced tea and strawberries, and take time to savor the poems. I like your description of Linda's poetry. Visual indeed, that's a good word.
I think I start calling it proshecko after the third or so glash without having any idea that I'm doing so. I approve of any place that is brave enough to put glasses in those precarious positions with alcohol around. Of course, some folks (like me) don't need the alcohol to be a danger to breakables.
Sounds like a lovely place and an delightful evening.
BRING ON THE PROSECCO SISTAH! It ain't French but I do love me some Italian bubbly.:)

I know nothing about poetry (I was an avionics major). Do you think she wrote it one poem at a time?
Oh gosh, let's not be breaking things. Let's bring on the prosseco/prosecco/prosheekoo, one glass at a time.
J, since avionics is a portmanteau word, meaning more than one word at a time, and since Linda is a fine poet, I don't doubt that she can write more than one poem at a time if she wants to.
Logic.
Thought I commented here, but maybe it was at Restless Chef, who had a Linda appreciation post. Linda's book is wonderful with red, white, or sparkling wine. Single malted scotch too, I dare say. Or neat.
Now about your independent film spoofing Phyllis Schlafly. We must find a way to transfer to dvd and then youtube.
WV: Sisssis. We're not.
Hee-hee...nawt et oel snobbish. (you write that soo well, I cannot even come close). Great photo!
Hiker I know someone who can make the transfer for me. I just have to dig the thing out of the garage. We can have a film fest and do a double-bill with 101 Dalmatians.
Ew Tahsh, thenk yew, deah.
That sounds great!
Is it too late to fill up?
Love this photo! :) I'm guessing the wine was excellent, too?
The wine was excellent; I didn't stay long enough to eat much but they have a variety of fancy grilled cheese sandwiches on the menu.
Margaret, it is never too late to fill up on good food and wine.
