David Plonowski

Bar Pintxo - Santa Monica, CA

For a taste of what happens when Old World flavors meet modern techniques, join us for David Plonowski’s take on tapas, which earned his eatery the title “Best Spanish Restaurant” from Los Angeles magazine last year. Winemaker Chris Keller will be on hand to pour stunning California wines made with Spanish varietals.
