Yes, I was in just this last weekend.  The wine selection was, imo, just fine.  A pretty wide range of grapes and prices and a fair by the glass list as well.  As for the tapas, I have been there now three different times, and while I found the food good, they are pretty stingy with the quantity vs. price.  Also, while I don't expect a huge menu at a place like this (15-20 items on their menu), am a little disappointed in the lack of variety and rather small menu (I would hope for more cold plates on the menu as well, and have made the suggestion... The quality of what I have gotten, however, has been excellent.

I would say it is a neat place to pop in for snack and wine if you were out and about in that area and were not up for a full meal at one of the restaurants, and had plenty of cash to blow.  Otherwise, I would have to say Louie's 106 much larger menu, variety, and portions beat Malaga hands down.  If only Louie's were open later...
