how to open a bar.
ep 02. numbers don’t lie.
(our crowdfunding site is live on link in bio. your help is deeply appreciated 🙏)
does an apartment wine bar actually make money?
running a hidden wine bar is cooool and all, but the sustainability question is one any business can’t seem to run from.
putting aside the legal status, our ambition has outgrown the space. so does our free labor era.
in order for our dream to keep living on, we need to go bigger.
2cms b-side is in the work.
if we haven’t had a chance to encounter, hope to catch u soon.
to the familiar faces, see u again!

A night with DDC is always a moveable feast, from Chiang Dao to Saigon.
The bees are back in the mountain, but the honey magic remains. Catch you all next time - bee outtt
meet the summer girls of your dream —
Les Moulins (Chai de la Dive, France) is Ms. Sunshine, been by the sea a little too long hence a tad salty, completely pleased that iced peach tea is the only refreshment she got as companion
Theodora (Gut Oggau, Austria) is rather a mountain girl — a little quieter in the corner, gentle and fresh-faced at first, but when she speaks, there’s a flicker of spice. so expect to peel onion
Vin Blanc (Clos du Tue-Bœuf, France) is a city girl - cherishes her floral dress and would happily touch grass in an urban park while watching the sun disappears

Nduja, but she’s been to Vietnam and didn’t come back the same — nem chua meets chorizo in a funky little situationship.
Well mixed with tagliatelle and fnished with stracciatella on top, an indulgence that took some convincing for chef @ngt.viet to finally say yes to.

aromatic pours we are obsessed with lately -
Matassa “Cuvée Alexandria” (Roussillon, France) // muscat of alexandria // orange blossom and apricot on the nose, leading into a gentle citrusy, saline touch — the 3-week skin contact extracted beautiful perfume and structure
Momento Mori “If Only Maybe” (Victoria, Australia) // malvasia, nosiola, vermentino // soft pear, apple, and wild herbs ease into a hazy, rounded palate with delicate funk — lightly macerated and bottled unfiltered for those into the hazy juicy feeling
Dönnhoff Riesling Trocken (Nahe, Germany) // riesling // lime zest and white florals carry through a clean, mineral finish that lingers — stainless steel ferment, trocken (dry) style keeps it precise; predictable yet not boring

Someone wise once said: “Good things take time.” When it’s mole, dear… it takes weeks.
Mole, if you’ve never met it, is a slow-built Mexican sauce — layered with chiles, spices, nuts, sometimes chocolate — and meant to deepen over time, not rush. Ours works like a mother sauce, carried forward week after week, so every batch picks up a little more depth, a little more chaos.
Served with pineapple corn salsa and lime rice till end of April!

want red but afraid of the heat? don’t sleep on these glouglou maroon-colored juices 🥤
(left to right)
Clos du Tue-Bœuf ‘Cheverny’ (Loire Valley, France) // Pinot & Gamay blend // smells wonderfully red cherry and dried herbs, ending with a soft, smoky finish
Grape Republic ‘Rosso’ (Yamagata, Japan) // Delaware, Niagara, Steuben blend // smells like trouble (the unmistakable candied berry, i mean), drinks like a real pleasure
Partida Creus ‘TP’ (Catalonia, Spain) // 100% Trepat // light, chillable, sour cherry, tomato leaf, tastes like a bright, savory snap
Tony Bornard ‘Le Ginglet’ (Jura, France) // 100% Plousard // smells like a forest after rain (wild strawberry, damp earth), drinks like a bright, tangy little spark bearing the signaturely feral Jura edge
drinking guide: serve cool, sip fast, order another bottle
@2cms___ april spread, full of comfort flavors and middle eastern twists

We found him.
After a few chaotic nights, a few serious conversations, and a lot of “chị Nhi ơi mở nhạc mix lên đi”

Meet Viet: now holding the knife, the fire, and the mood of the kitchen.
