I want to eat this photograph. Venice Beach Wines opened in 2006 but luckily I am still discovering all kinds of hidden foodie gems around the city and am thrilled to have been introduced to this one. The food and wine are amazing and I love that it’s slightly off the beaten path. Plenty of great wine and well thought out charcuterie & cheese plates along with sandwiches and salads that are simple but with just the right amount of detail (there is a ‘lambwich’ with pimenton smoked lamb, roast tomatoes, carmelized onions, mint chimichurri and manchego). They are open for lunch, dinner and snacks in between. 529 Rose Avenue in Venice, 310.606.2529, Sunday thru Thursday 11am-10pm and Friday & Saturday 11am-11pm
