I came down to support my Danish wine maker friend, Leo Steen. I was asked to pay $20 for the wine tasting, ridiculous. So Greg, the owner told me....its free if you subscribe to monthly deliveries. He clearly did NOT understand my relationship with said wine maker. So he charged me the fee without shipping the wine I don't want. Worst wine tasting experience ever!! Excess of $240
Good wines, bit weird and sometimes sloppy service. We wanted to buy an extra bottle but weren't able to so we left
My friends and I stopped by for drinks. The wines were delicious and thanks to the server’s recommendation. Alas the hummus platter wasn’t exciting. Came with no utensils and we asked for some only to have fewer than the number of our party. Ambiance was good.
Nice place to taste California wine. Extended happy hour from noon to 6 pm. You can also get their superior and exclusive wine through the wine club which is super interesting. The waitress is super nice and friendly and makes great recommendations ! For those living here, wine club is a really nice concept that unfortunately we cannot have access since we are living abroad.
Good place with a long bar and few tables around to sit. I liked the feel inside. Very crowded though (July 3rd evening). Loved their Paso Robles wine and found prices to be decent. Just didn't fall in love with the abrupt service. Conveniently close to Delarosa if you're waiting for a table, which is main reason why we stopped here for a glass of wine before our dinner reservation.
