My problem with City Winery is that it isn't the Bottom Line,, which is hardly their fault, that dinner can get pricey, which is more like that fault, and I don't like their no man's land setting -which is entirely their fault. So I only go when I absolutel have to. The Marshall Crenshaw Anniversary was the first tme, Iris Dement will be the next. Both on Sundays which doesn't help.
