I have had a love affair with Italian wines for quite sometime, maybe it was my high school English teacher with that long, Italian dark hair or the way she smiled when she talked about growing up on a vineyard in Tuscany. Just thinking about that makes me want to write a run on sentence and have her lecture me about...sorry I digress, Italian wine and food.
I'm back, that feeling is very similar to the feeling of having a long meal at d.vino Italian Food and Wine Bar at the Monte Carlo Las Vegas. Good food, fabulous wine and the effortless ability to stretch a conversation from minutes to hours and to be immersed in a culinary journey as well as feel like a true oenophile. You'll enjoy the comfortable atmosphere at d.vino and the food will delight you with the simple pleasure of an Italian kitchen.
Did I mention they have wine? While the wine list is very good I would suggest the Enomatic. It allows you to sample wine in 1, 2 or 5 oz. servings and is truly the way to turn an afternoon into an evening.
