Dionisos in Lima, Wine Club-Wine Bar, Nice Setting, A Bistro A Day, March 18

Looking at their Facebook page, Dionisos Wine Bar and Restaurant in Lima with its comfy chairs and dim lights has the feel of a club.

I could not gather much information from their website as it seems you need to be a member (with login) to check the wine of the month (vino del mes) and the wine list.

An article by Sophie Kevany in April 2009 right after Dionisos opened tells us that 32 local and international wines by the glass and 450 by the bottle were offered.

Some more details offered by Sophie:

"Prices at Dionisos are on a par with retail costs at local supermarkets, plus a corkage fee of 25 to 35 Peruvian soles (€5-7), to encourage drinkers.

The bar offers different sized pours ranging from a two ounce tasting glass, to a 15 ounce flask, as well as flights of single varietals grown in different regions, or the same vintage from four different countries.

It also features a wall of pisco, a grape-based brandy and Peru's national drink."

I will have to find out if you need to register as a member first or be invited by one to make it through the door.
