P

ardon the pun, but to experience the range of Palo Alto watering holes in a nutshell, just head to the corner of Birch Street and California Avenue. On one side, there are glasses of Barolo and Bordeaux being poured at the 5-month-old Calave Wine Bar. On the other resides the venerable Antonio’s Nut House, home of margaritas at rock-bottom prices and complimentary peanuts served by a gorilla.

Weekend Continued from previous page

Calave marks the fourth wine bar in Palo Alto and the first outside its downtown.

Some wine bars, like Gravity on Emerson Street, have menus and service that blur the line between bar and restaurant. Others, like Calave, barely have space for more than a refrigerator and toaster. The most ambitious item at Calave is the serviceable but not special turkey, avocado and cranberry-mayonnaise panino ($12).

That’s too bad, because Calave is such a fun addition to Palo Alto, and a small creative boost in the kitchen could make a significant difference. How about avocado on toast, fresh produce salads and smoked fish?

As for that faithful wine bar stand-by, the cheese and charcuterie plate ($25), it offered a decent selection of prosciutto, salami and the usual cheeses like Asiago and brie, but the choices were uninspired. Meanwhile, peanut-butter sandw iches get an entire section on the menu. You heard me right.

Peanut butter meets French onion soup with Gruyere and sweet onions in one sandwich

($11). It’s actually far better than you’d imagine. As is the case with all the sandwiches at Calave, the fillings are dominated by the bread; the kitchen needs to work on proportions.

Outside of sandwiches, a perky romaine lettuce-based Caesar salad ($9) arrived perfectly dressed but suf-

fered from being served in a gummy, jaw-tiring Parmesan bowl. A better bet are the “share a bites” ($6 to $8).

Weekend As it turns out, the space at 299 California Ave. housed the Mayfield Brewery from 1886 to 1920 (you can guess what historical event led to its demise). Four beers are on tap at Calave, but with around 40 wines by the glass, it’s clear where the emphasis now lies.

On the wine front, I’ll recommend the superb Robert Hall Viognier from Paso Robles; the slick, fruit-edged Pence Ranch Santa Barbara pinot noir; and the menu’s wildcat: the plush, zesty Tuscan-style Merlot-Sangiovese “Lost Weekend” by Beauregard Vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains, one of six wines served on tap. If it’s your first time at Calave, go for the “P Yes Pinot” f light or the sparkling wine f light served in lovely coupes instead of f lutes (both $20).

The f lights bring up two vital points. First, good luck fitting two f lights and any food on a tiny table for two.

It won’t work. Second, service was almost always excellent, except for the up-selling sometimes done to get guests to order the $25 European reds f light. In fact, the European reds description card was presented and explained to my table not once but twice before the regular menu, as if it was the lone option that night. The first time it happened, I rolled my eyes. The second time, it felt like a condo timeshares presentation.

Calave could stand to introduce a few more unique grapes and get away from the triedand-true Californian-French-

Italian terroir. Orange wine?

Slovenian wine? These are key to appeasing local wine geeks.

More rotation, too, wouldn’t hurt, since the choices are basically the same today as when I first visited in July. It’s time to bring a Palo Alto startup mentality to the wine list.

Balance both the comfort and risk, and Calave will soon be the leader of the pack among Palo Alto wine bars.

I’ve heard many people say Calave would fit right in in London or New York.

They’re right. The 35-seat space exudes a sophisticated, urban feel, headlined by a U-shaped bar with rows of wine glasses hanging above, evoking a chandelier. Black and white alternate as primary color schemes, giving everything a glamorous, Roaring ’20s atmosphere. I half expected Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable to stroll in.

Seating areas vary from a high communal table to a cozy, low-slung sofa to snug tables with tremendously comfortable “cigar” chairs. Outside seating expands the capacity, which is often needed at happy hour.

The Palo Alto community already embraces Calave for what it is: a rare California Avenue place that’s open until midnight Thursday through Saturday. Even if the menu doesn’t take another leap, I’ll come back for that popcorn and another glass of the Duval Leroy Brut Champagne.

The screenrighter CRANSTON PLAYS ‘TRUMBO,’ CRUSADER AGAINST HOLLYWOOD BLACKLIST 000 (Aquarius, Century 20)

Lovers of the Golden Age of Hollywood will have a blast at “Trumbo,” though they may also feel like the proverbial choir being preached to by this account of the Red Scare and the Hollywood blacklist, as dramatized in the person of Oscarwinning screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. There’s red meat for that crowd in the personages of Kirk Douglas, Edward G. Robinson, Louis B. Mayer, John Wayne and Hedda Hopper yet “Trumbo” will be more valuable for young viewers who need the film’s history lesson.

The at-times stranger-thanfiction “Trumbo” recalls how Senator Joseph McCarthy targeted American Communists, most publicly those in Hollywood, compelling Congressional testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). As one of the most prominent of the famed “Hollywood 10” who refused on constitutional grounds to cooperate with HUAC, Trumbo has gone down in history as a champion of true American values. Jay Roach’s film, adapted by John McNamara from Bruce Cook’s biography “Dalton Trumbo,” makes for a clear, concise and zesty account of the encroaching shadows in those otherwise sunny post-war days.

Trumbo (Emmy and Tony winner Bryan Cranston) and his politically sympathetic peers (including Michael Stuhlbarg’s Edward G. Robinson) attempt to win respect for Communist ideals and the right to non-seditious dissent, but they’re already on a slippery slope to HUAC. Beginning in 1947, we see Trumbo in public, at work and at home, with a contempt-of-Congress prison stint making for a horrible interlude. Throughout, the writer has the respect and support of his long-suffering wife (Diane Lane’s Cleo) and children (most prominently Elle Fanning’s Nikola), though he tests their patience with his substance-abuse of cigs, liquor and Benzedrine, as well as his short, hot temper under stress and on deadline.

All of this is plenty to constitute an interesting drama, Continued on next page

Q MOVIEREVIEWS

CREED 000

Director Ryan Coogler’s “Creed� puts Rocky in the corner and makes a new boxing star out of Adonis Johnson Creed, the son of Rocky’s frenemy, Apollo Creed.

We first meet Adonis in 1998 Los Angeles as a juvie inmate and orphan, who is then adopted by Creed’s widow (Phylicia Rashad) into a life of luxury. Having never lost his proclivity for fighting or curiosity about Apollo, the present-day Adonis (Michael B. Jordan) decides to quit his financial group job and fly to Philadelphia to follow in his father’s footsteps. “Creed� does the same with 1976’s “Rocky,� this time casting Sylvester Stallone as the manager-trainer. Adonis finds romance with singer-songwriter Bianca (Tessa Thompson), suffers embarrassment, trains in montage and prepares for a climactic championship bout. Coogler stokes plenty of poignant moments and nostalgic throwbacks, though he laughably overreaches in search of his iconic “steps� shot. All in all, “Creed� is questionable as a film, good as a movie and brilliant as a franchise-extender. Rated PG-13 for violence, language and some sensuality.

Two hours, 12 minutes. — P.C.

THE GOOD DINOSAUR 001/2

Pixar’s “The Good Dinosaur� is a mixed bag, with some near-photorealistic landscapes, guffaw-producing sight gags and impressive character animation sharing time with an overly familiar plot and characters. A meteor misses Earth 65 million years ago, so the dinosaurs — including a young Apatosaurus named Arlo (Raymond Ochoa) and his parents and siblings — continue to get by millions of years later. Arlo wants to “make his mark� on the world, but his ambition soon gets him separated from his family. His situation owes something to the intrusion of a feral human cave boy, eventually dubbed “Spot�

(Jack Bright), who teams up with Arlo to find a way home. Rated PG for peril, action and thematic elements. One hour, 40 minutes. — P.C.

wealthy communist who thrives on capitalism, suggesting that his high-minded ethical proclamations amount to something of a house of cards. We also see Trumbo as an erudite and witty man of letters, a leader in his profession, a lovingly driven provider for his family and a fearless political leader.

Roach gives it all a light touch, reminiscent of “Ed Wood� in its irreverent view of Hollywood as a “Dream Factory� propped up by the likes of communist-slayer Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren, delightfully tart). Cranston gives a floridly theatrical leading performance in keeping with Trumbo’s wit, while Theodore Shapiro supplies a vintagestyled jazz score, such spoonfuls of sugar helping the history go down.
