Arlington happy hour, Neighborhood: Water & Wall, Virginia Square
Specs: Monday-Fri until 8pmHappy hour red: A Pinot Noir from California that goes for $5/glass. I didn't like it (too dry and a slightly leathery taste) so I decided to try another one they had on the menu (which was fantastic...see below).
Yes, believe it or not, this happy hour review is for Virginia Square, the tiny, often forgotten about sub-neighborhood wedged between Ballston and Clarendon.
Side note: They do have great happy hour beers. You can choose from a selection of several-- all on the "crafty" side. So if you like lighter beers this isn't the right place for you (they don't even exist on the regular-price drink menu).
So here's the wine I did review:
La Cuadrilla, Stolpman Vineyards, 2012
Varietal, Region: 60% Syrah, 20% Sangiovese, 15% Grenache, 5% Petite Sirah
Price: $14/glass, $56/bottle
My Tasting Notes: Medium to full-bodied, dark fruits, spicy and dry with a nice finish.
My Verdict: Great wine. While it's a little pricey by the glass, just one of these gave me a nice warm wine buzz!

They also have fantastic appetizers. These are the fried green tomatoes.
Overall, Water & Wall is a must-visit. Cheers!
