Having lived and worked alongside many business owners now for over 20 years in Leesburg, many friends and clients who know I love to cook (and eat!) ask me where to find great food and wine. The Wine Kitchen, as I've written about in the past when it first opened, remains one of my favorites! Their food and wines are superb, and because "thank goodness" they offer imports from countries like Italy and Spain (more) where they regulate what goes into their wines. Natural ingredients are used - not the food coloring and nasty chemicals and preservatives our bodies reject with headaches, and unlike many US wines without regulation. This is a one of a few important reasons why I frequent the Wine Kitchen over other restaurants and continue to recommend it to family, friends and newcomers to Leesburg, VA.

Given the name "Oyster" Bar, I had inquired as to the various types of Oysters being offered because I had not dabbled much with fish/seafood varietals or differences- even though both of my parents are from Boston (Dad is a "Southie" and lived a block from the water). We grew up with all types of seafood and fish and thoroughly enjoyed all foods with the Italian side and my Dad (and his Dad) loving to cook. I was completely impressed learning that some oysters are not just saltier than others, or take on a different size or shell size and shape similar to how vegetables, fishes and meats take from their own environments, but they truly vary. One can become quite the enthusiast after looking into their differences from waterway to waterway and region to region. For example, West coast oysters, the owner shared, are smaller and sweeter . . . while East coast oysters are larger and a bit saltier and brinier, encased in shells with more shades of brown, green and white.
