$12 -- Half Off Flights & Apps at Santa Monica Wine Bar

The Deal

Wine Expo has been "spreading the gospel of artisanal wines and spirits for 17 years," according to Los Angeles Magazine. For $12, order anything on the menu up to $25 at this Santa Monica wine bar.

Paintings by local artists line muted, coffee-hued walls, and there are a dozen small tables for couples and larger groups. We suggest making a night of it with a friend; each person could try:

• A flight of New World whites ($9) coupled with a prosciutto or mixed salume spread with olives, nuts and crackers ($9)

• A glass of wine (glasses start at $4) paired with Italian smoked olives and black truffle tapenade ($14.50)

• A flight of aromatic reds ($19) and a crostini plate filled with cured meats, veggies and cheeses ($6)

The wine list features a wide variety of under-the-radar wines and changes weekly. The wine inventory is 70% Italian with more than 100 labels of artisanal Champagne.
