Gordon's Wine Bar, Charing Cross

I was there about a month ago, saw it listed in a guidebook and thought i would go in for a glass of wine. Had such a great time that first night, about 5 or 6 hours, that I went back every night that I was in London. The kitchen was closed for remodeling so I never got to try the food but the Madeira from the wood was outstanding. The staff made me feel right at home as well. After reading some of the comments, I noticed one about Texas. Yes it is true that Texas did not come about during the Victorian era (1837-1901) it bacame an independant Republic on March 2, 1836 and was annexed by the United States in 1845. As far as unique wine bars such as Gordon's there are none to my knowlege anywhere in Texas or the USA, if there are please let me know where they are since Gordon's is such a long flight from here. Again, for the staff at Gordon's thanks again for your hospitality (and for refilling the Madeira cask after my first night)!
