Reader Review: B3

B3 on Valencia and 22nd is set to open next Wednesday.  Lucky for us, reader Lola, who I presume was drunk off pinot noir when she wrote this, send us this early review:

Tonight I happened upon B3, the newest, awesomest space on all of Valenica. These guys not only wooed me in with promises of wine and friendship, but they explained the secret to their future success: AWESOME ONION RINGS. Yes, we all know there is an absolute dearth of decent fried goods in this city of bloated food egos, so I'm beyond stoked for some good old fashioned perfectly battered fried onions. Also you can tell from this picture that these guys are serious about drinking wine and not just talking about it, so I for one am ready to share in the joy when they open.

The review also included a disparaging comment about Heart, situated right down the street.  What do you guys think?  Does Heart 'fucking suck' because of, as Lola put it, “their lame wine in lame mason jars” and “pretentious art”?  Are the Ben Davis-wearing burger geeks going to run them out of town?

I’ve never had the win at Heart, and honestly I’m not really a win guy in general, but I agree the whole mason jar thing is weird and a little offputting.

I admit I’ve consumed win out of a mason jar before but my excuse was a lack of clean dishes.

Hey, I’m all for mason jars if they have the decency to charge mason jar prices.

Wine in mason jars is pretentiously unpretentious, which is the worst kind of pretension.
