Jim, the owner is incredibly knowledgeable and provided excellent recommendations after our flight this evening. 3 half pours for $15.

A hidden gem in San Marcos that has become my friend’s favorite place to get together, especially on week nights. The Thursday half price wine is unbeatable and the little patio oasis in the back with the heaters and fire table is so perfect. Wine selection is broad and staff is knowledgeable. You can also buy bottles here if their bar options aren’t suiting you and then open it and enjoy right there!

Great selection of attractively priced wines. Come here if you are in the market for great Spanish, Portuguese, German or local San Diego brands. The owner is very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Forget bevmo, buy local!!!

If you are looking for “your spot” this is it.

At least it is for me. Every time I’m here it’s as if I’ve been welcomed home to that house that is at the heart of every good neighborhood. (The one with the wine and the goss)

The environment is peaceful and fun. With seating inside and outside, they host over 11 wines on tap for you to choose from.

It’s a hub for fun and kind locals who are not only friendly but are connoisseurs who are happy to share their intimate knowledge of wine and the neighborhood to boot.

Their selection of wines is just .

There is a fridge with a fun cheese selection that you can pair with the wines that the owner and his staff recommend from that very selection.

Look. I don’t gate keep. But this place and everyone here make me want to.

I love it here. BUT A WORD OF ADVICE:

It’s not a winery so don’t assume you have all this open space you can hog at the counter.

Don’t be a butt.

Be polite.

I typed this after only One flight of three Italian wines, where I am actively avoiding rush hour.

Come by ◡̈ I doubt that you’ll have regrets.

Don’t be a rude drunk. Nobody likes them.

NOBODY.

I asked for a wine that pairs well with chocolate for valentines. I was ready to shell out $40+ dollars because these kind of wine stores usually have specialized expensive wines. Was pleasantly surprised when all the recommendations the store clerk gave me were reasonably priced. I went with the sparkling red wine that was under $20 and it was a hit. Would go there again.
