An Under-$30 Delicious American Sparkler Returns to Houston

By Jeremy Parzen | Wed, October 31, 2012

Houston wine maven and man-about-town Denman Moody loves him some Dr. Frank from the Finger Lakes, New York. He poured and spoke about the winery's dry Riesling when I met him for the first time a fe... More »

By Robb Walsh | Thu, June 17, 2004

When I walk up to La Vista on Fountain View carrying a bottle of wine, I notice a poster in the window that says the restaurant has applied for a liquor permit. This triggers a wave of panic in me. "We're going to start selling beer and wine, but... More »

2000 | Best Value

The regulars lined up outside this tiny sidewalk cafe don't want the secret to get out, but too bad. La Vista is too good to keep quiet.
