the mission grill is amazing. modern mexican fare and the decor to match. you sort of know that it's southwestern, but it's tasteful. it's no chili's (no offense to the chain restaurant...really). i was invited to a great networking event there last evening that turned out to be incredibly rewarding.
but let's get to the point, which is always wine. the wednesday evening specials were yeungling lager $2, margaritas and sangria $4, and house wine $3. that's correct, you're not insane (well i'm just guessing). yes, $3 glasses of wine. wine in real wine glasses, bold flavor, distinct in character. the house white wine was a dante chardonnay, sold for around $7-$9 depending on where you are in the country. fruit-forward, a hint of fruit-sweetness, good alcohol, meaning that you feel a nice warmth at the base of your throat after swallowing, sensual.
the house red was a montpellier cabernet sauvignon, just as it should be. warm, wraps around your tongue and stays there. good lover. this one retails for around $10 depending once again upon where you make your purchase.
mission grill: 18th & arch sts. philadelphia. spicy chunky guacamole, authentic salsa, and sooooo much more delicious fare (they are not paying me..they have no idea who i am).
and..uhhh. don't be afraid to tilt the glass.
