I covered my empty wine glass as the Italian waitress made her rounds, a bottle of Chianti in hand.

After working on the studio lot each day, he would come home, have a bite to eat, take a nap and head to his second job at Chianti Ristorante, a venerable Italian place on Melrose.

The blood flows like wine in “The Equalizer 3,” as dark as Chianti, seeping into cobblestone streets, splattering onto stained glass and statuary.

It also allowed me to put down my phone and soak in the atmosphere as I enjoyed my delicious spicy salami pizza and a glass of the house Chianti Classico wine.

It goes head-to-head with Chianti in terms of being tannic and powerful.
