You might not expect to find an awesome wine list at a small Chinese restaurant on Bellaire, but there's a lot about Mala Sichuan that's surprising. Sommelier Justin Vann, who runs his own wine and beer consulting company, called PSA Wines, created the wine list for the small bistro after noting the dearth of decent booze along the Bellaire strip. Most restaurants in Chinatown are BYOB, but Vann changed that with the introduction of wine and beer that pairs perfectly with the often-spicy and always incredibly flavorful cuisine at Mala. The true measure of a great wine list is that it makes the food better as well. If you thought it was impossible to improve upon the food at Mala Sichuan, order a bottle of Treveri Brut Chardonnay and think again.
