Need help with French wine menu

My newsreader doesn't thread posts in a way that I can tell which respond directly to which, so I'll try to cover a few things in this one reply.

With apologies to those to whom none of this means anything in the slightest:

Mirabeau is at the corner of PCH and Crown Valley Parkway, in the Monarch Beach section of Dana Point. That center is also the home of Salt Creek Grille, if that helps. I'd be happy to report back on it, but the wife just has opted out in favor of a San Clemente venue called Iva Lee's instead. We'll get back to Mirabeau at some future date.

"Vine" (often called "The Vine", but there's no "The" in it) is our favorite in the area. It could, however, be problematic for Dale as the owner used to be chef at French 75. Not sure when or whether the food was the problem for Dale, but those are the facts. Vine's wine list is excellent, though small. It's mostly West Coast USA small-production gems.

Mongkut Thai (on Del Mar, in San Clemente) is extremely good. I'd bet that's the Thai being referred to.

230 Forest is, not coincidentally, at 230 Forest. Forest is the main shopping side street (off PCH) just South of Main Beach in Laguna.

The owner of Mirabeau told me her two favorite restaurants in the area are Vine and Iva Lee's, so it should be a good dinner any way we do it.
