La Bodega is a Spanish tapas and lounge at 703 Southwest Blvd. in Kansas City. The drinks menu PDF linked from its homepage is a two-page sheet: cocktails, sangria, vermut, porto and sherry on page one, and a wine page headed Espumoso, Rosado, Blanco and Tinto on page two, with prices printed as glass/bottle pairs. No date is printed on the sheet, so confirm what is pouring.
The Tinto column carries a run of Rioja bottles: Marques de Caceres Reserva at 76, Marques de Murrieta Reserva Tempranillo at 81, Marques de Riscal Reserva Tempranillo at 82, Lopez de Heredia Cubillo Crianza Tempranillo at 86 and Muga Reserva Tempranillo at 94.

Numbers in the bottle column run from 36 (9/36) to 155 (Veuve Clicquot Brut).
Glass/bottle pairs run from 9/36 (Elocuente Cava Brut Rose, Valederba Garnacha Rosado and Broadbent Vinho Verde) to 17/68 (Ayres Pinot Noir, Willamette). Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Napa is posted as 29/ GLASS. Other pairs include Perelada Brut Cava at 10/40, Marques de Caceres Verdejo at 10/40, Marques de Caceres Crianza Red at 13/52 and Matias Riccitelli Hey Malbec at 12/48.

The Bottom Line
A tapas-bar drinks sheet with glass/bottle pairs starting at 9/36 and a separate sherry-by-the-glass list. Start with the Reino de la Vina Tempranillo Reserva at 12/48 alongside the Paella Valenciana, or the Venta Morales Tempranillo at 10/40, and confirm prices because the sheet is undated.

· Kansas City · Brazilian Steakhouse
Fogo de Chão Kansas City isn't a wine destination, but it's not a wine disappointment either. Prices are fair, the South American focus makes thematic sense, and the VIK and Lapostolle picks show there's a ceiling here above the house pour. Come for the beef, drink the Eulila, leave happy.
