SLO Wine Country on the move – The Modesto Bee

22 Feb SLO Wine Country on the move – The Modesto Bee

La Bodega, a tapas restaurant in Pismo Beach, had a line out the door the evening we visited. After finishing several savory small plate dishes, paired with a Qupe Syrah, we understood the line. I called the small plates “SLO Tapas” because (1) they were quite generous and (2) they relied on local meat purveyors, creameries, wineries, bakeries and farms. We shared the empanadas de chorizo, grilled octopus, short ribs, a winter salad and finished with the pumpkin brulee tart. The Navigator had just two words, “Oh my.” I had three, “We will return.” On the drive back to the condo the Navigator said I should mention La Bodega in Wine Line. I agreed. In one word, “Go.”
