eater | Ray's & Stark Bar, the Patina Group's restaurant and bar located at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, will be adding a 20-item Water Menu to its beverage list next week. Eater LA reports that Ray's & Stark GM and water sommelier Martin Riese
created the list which includes waters from ten different countries
including Spain, France, Germany, and Canada. The bottles range in size
from .75 - 1 liter, and are priced from $8 - $16. The most expensive bottle is Riese's own California-made water 9OH2O. Eater LA had previously reported that 9OH2O retails for $14 per bottle because it's made "in limited editions of 10,000 individually numbered glass bottles."
According to a press release, waters on "LA's most extensive Water Menu" will be for sale by the bottle and also as part of a $12 water tasting menu.
Riese is quoted in the press release saying: "We are already accustomed
to pairing food with wine or beer, but many people don't know that water is just as important to the entire dining experience."
The menu is a booklet that features descriptions of each water
varietal, including information on origin, mineral content, and tasting
notes. Here's the water menu in full and the press release:
