trisler's wine bar

trisler's wine bar is literally a block from where i live. i had never been, but always wanted to go, so i organized a happy hour there. i was pleasantly surprised with trisler's - i think this is going to be my new favorite hangout!




we went on a thursday during happy hour. selected (but good) glasses of wine are only $5 and beer is only $3. i didn't even notice what kind of beer they had, i only drank wine. when in rome....



we also ordered a few appetizers - meat and cheese plate, brie with carmelized onions, and artichoke dip. all were good especially the cheeses. the artichoke dip was kind of weird. it wasn't creamy like you expect dip to be, it was actual chunks of artichokes. not bad, just unusual.

overall, everything here was fantastic. even the local guitar player that had a set beginning at 7:30 was very good. i would highly recommend it.

cruisin......

i took the bf on one of those dinner cruises for his birthday. it was a three hour tour, a three hour toouuur, around san diego bay. i really enjoyed the dinner cruise - the food was decent, the drinks were great, and the scenery was gorgeous. the bf's birthday just happened to be on day light savings this year, so we even caught the tail end of the sunset! my only complaint about the cruise was that the dj played really cheesy love songs the whole time. other than that, we had a great time and would highly recommend the cruise for special occasions!
