About Us

San Diego’s unique wine experience

Our wines: We offer an extensive selection of eclectic, highly-rated and small production wines from around the world. Our Italian, Spanish, Californian and "Under $20" collections are hard to beat. We hand pick and sample every wine before we stock it, so you can be sure of the quality. With hundreds of wines to choose from, there's something to fit every palate and pocketbook.

Case discounts: 10% off mixed cases

Wine bar: Our wine bar features a dozen wines to sample by the taste or by the glass. The selection changes weekly, so there's always something to try before you buy. On weekends, join us for themed tastings such as "Southern Hemisphere Reds" or "Cabernets from Around the World." Enjoy imported meat & cheeses and other appetizers with your wine selections. Also, don't miss Thursday night Happy Hour, where you can sample 5 wines for just $5 bucks until 8pm.

Classes: Ever wonder how to taste wine like a pro, read a French wine label or tell the difference between Barolo, Barbera and Brunello? If so, our wine classes are for you. We limit the class size to 15 people so you can taste and explore the world of wine in a fun and friendly environment.

Private events: Our downtown location offers the perfect venue for your private party, corporate event or group dinner. Our staff includes Certified Wine Specialists, party planners and a professional chef to help arrange all the details.
