It's a brilliant concept, really. Walk into BottleRock, a new wine shop and wine bar in Culver City, choose a bottle from the 700-plus selections on the shelves, and your server-salesperson will give you a per glass price and pour it for you. Interested in tasting a Picpoul de Pinet from the Languedoc? A Merlot from Washington state? Just choose one and it's yours for the sampling.
Of course you'll want a little something to go with that. Not to worry: Jason Travi, former chef at La Terza in West Hollywood, is manning the kitchen. He has concocted some seriously delicious small plates, or "bar snacks" as they're called at BottleRock.
