When we discover a memorable restaurant with a great wine list we really want to stand up and cheer, and that’s what we did when we found the Boar Dough Tasting Room in Agoura Hills, California. What makes it so special…well it’s a unique combination of wine bar and California gourmet restaurant. But what really clinched it was the VERY unique menu, a fantastic wine and beer list and the outstanding delicious food…from appetizers to desert.
The Boar Dough Tasting Room specializes in flat-breads, salads, and other dishes made with seasonal ingredients, plus cheese and Chef Mills’ charcuterie. It was recently opened by Charles and Joanne Bruchez. Charles, a very friendly Englishman, previously opened Upstairs 2, the wine bar at The Wine House in West LA. The Boar Dough wine list is pages long and includes equal numbers of California, European and international labels and there’s also an extensive list of craft beer and hard ciders as well as house made sodas.
