EaterWire: Pourtal Opens, All You Can Eat Kogi, More!

SANTA MONICA—As noted by Tasting Table and Le Dish, among others, Pourtal Wine Bar debuts today. It's a wine bar by Peter Birmingham located on the end of Santa Monica Boulevard, near the Promenade (nope, no wine bars in that area at all). The centerpiece of Pourtal, of course, is the Enomatic wine toy. Open daily from 11am to 11pm. 104 Santa Monica Blvd.; (310) 393-7693; website [EaterWire]
