From a press release:
“Ashok Bajaj of Knightsbridge Restaurant Group is pleased to announce the upcoming September opening of Little Black Bird at 3309 Connecticut Avenue, NW, next door to Sababa. With 30 seats in the main dining room and eight seats at the bar, this new, inviting wine bar will replace the original Bindaas, located in the Cleveland Park neighborhood, which will close on August 6. The name Little Black Bird is a nod to the French word for blackbird, merle. In turn, the name Merlot is derived from the word merle, which was a local dialectical word to describe blackbirds in the region. Merlot quickly began to gain popularity, and winemakers began widely planting the grape many referred to as “little blackbird” in the Bordeaux region of France. There is the possibility that the name is a reference to the dark skin of the grape or to the blackbirds that have a fondness for eating the grapes off the vine. (more…)
