next, a rum cocktail, and an incredibly weird bit of improv comedy (@ La Boheme)

03July2014 08:58

next, actual (if deliciously non-traditional) pintxos: one mushroom w/ capsicum tortilla, and this sweet potato and jamon iberico; glass of mencia to match (@ udaberri)

03July2014 07:40

second stop a little bigger than I thought: a pancetta salad and a smooth rioja tempranillo (@ The Gallery)

very tasty corn fritter entree, but went downhill from there; a bit underwhelming given nearly everyone visiting or local to the barossa recommended 1918! (@ 1918 Bistro and Grill)
