Description
The next time you're gridlocked on the 10 East during a Friday evening commute (or late trip to Vegas), wait out the masses in Covina with a drink at AzoVINO Gift Gallery and Wine. The oddly titled wine bar is a big, cluttered oasis just off Citrus Avenue, perfect for oenophiles and casual drinkers alike. “The Gift Gallery” refers to the walls lined with etched wine glasses, assorted jewelry and lively wall art, while “Wine” means weekend jazz, cozy couches for lounging and a fireplace for the occasional winter spell. The wine list is simple perfection, a cabal of whites and reds from Argentina, Spain and right up the California coast. Those looking for suds instead will find a more-than-serviceable beer bottle program, plus a rotation of six taps that serve local craft beers in thick goblets. Not a bad way to start your weekend.
