Ruta del Vino, fresh off their spotlight on PBS, is about to turn one. Yay, happy birthday!

This excellent addition to Petworth started out with an idea by owners Justin and Jessica Logan to open a wine bar and restaurant focused on South American cuisine and wines. And from their reputation (and Zagats rating) they've been a success.

Come join Justin and the team this Friday, November 10th as they celebrate their first birthday.

"One year ago Friday we had our first service, and we're celebrating with our first live music performance, some new wines -- including a white Pinot Noir from Patagonia -- and the return of some favorite dishes from our first menu," Justin said.

(Look for the Lacinato Kale salad, which was a fan favorite, plus a new riff on a beet salad.)

"We couldn't be happier with how our neighbors have treated us. Jessica and I hope to see as many of them as possible on Friday!"

The music will be De Tierra Caliente:
