text: Gilbert if you like a wine list of literally ten wines a menu consisting of bread and bread byproducts year old Gilbert moms trying to look cool and whiffing the smell of a far greater restaurant next door ie Liberty Market or Joes then Postino East is the way to gonnI heard of Postino while reading another great issue of Phoenix Magazine while getting my hair trimmed at Great Clips Hmm I said This restaurant sounds intriguingnnMaking my way to the Gotham City of the desert Gilbert i maneuvered my Mini Cooper through the thriving metropolis and parked in one of Postinos well graveled parking spotsnnIt was then I entered Gilberts version of a wine cafe When I drink wine at a wine bar I expect it to taste like the nectar of the gods unfortunately at Postinos this is not the case Their wine list is less insignificant then Tim Meadowss career With so little to choose from I ended up ordering a wine I have never tasted before a risky proposition to be sure My wine ended up tasting like the liquid equivalent of Journey without Steve PerrynnAfter emptying the reminder of my wine in one of Postinos urinals I decided to eat some food I ordered the bruschetta sampler in which i get to pick out four different kinds of flour based goodness The pesto salami was definitely my favorite sort of like Michael Winslow being my favorite in the Police Academy filmsnnThe atmosphere is interesting the say the least if you enjoy looking at women with sun spots and year old twins and the creepy men checking them out from across the room then this is your spotnnIll pass and stick with Joes across the street
