Adega Wine Cellar is a wonderful independent restaurant and wine store, but they are being hurt by MoCo. Same goes for Abol, which we just went to. They don't yet have Tej (Ethiopian Honey Wine) because they're waiting for MoCo to finally get its act together and sell them the stuff. MoCo must give up its monopoly on liquor, wine, and beer distribution. I wonder how much Ray’s decision has to do with MoCo’s stranglehold on liquor distribution?

The food was OK with nothing standing out that would warrant the very expensive price tags. I vowed never to go back until the place actually looked inside like the price tags claim it should look.
