A great selection of wines from all over the world. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and offers suggestions to varietals I was not familiar with.

Business looks like it has been closed for several months. I saw it on KUSI a few weeks ago. I think that was an old interview. The visit date was February 17, 2024

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. I reserved a bachelorette party private wine tasting in December, and when we arrived for our tasting today the employee worker 1) had no information about our party and 2) was rude and blamed other factors for why he was unprepared. This place made me place a $100 deposit to save the date and time. They also informed us they had no food available as the employee did not have time to go to the cheese store after coming from his other job.When I asked for a refund, as we were unsatisfied with the service, the employee working said I needed to email someone else. When I did, the person on the receiving end of the email accused me of already disputing the charge so could not refund me. They also claimed the cheese store closed unexpectedly this weekend (which does not corroborate the story told by the employee at the store). The employee did give us a bottle of wine, to which the person emailing said he hoped it “didn’t come off as hostile” after I complained about the employees behavior.Absolutely absurd and highly unprofessional. Would not recommend.

Their staff have the most impressive, diverse wine knowledge I've experienced. The atmosphere is open, casual, and encourages conversation and community.

Delightful, informative, fun, funky little wine bar in San Diego's East Village. I love the dealer's choice wine flight, which include 4 tastes of interesting wines including information about the varietal, winery, terroir, and tasting notes. I learn something every time and greatly enjoy the experience!

Perfect wine bar. Staff is fantastic Brice is very knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to help. Lindsey is fun and whimsical with a zest for the wine!
I moved here 9 months ago and I love this bar! It’s truly a neighborhood gem. Every time I walk in is a different adventure and I always meet awesome people. The owner Justus (and his *staff*) is the best! They guide you into great wines and also share a lot of free tastings. So knowledgeable and so nice. Not to mention the wine is 5 stars!

Incredible wine bar. A gem of San Diego. Wines from all over, ranging from affordable to who-the-hell can afford that. The bartenders are welcoming and not pretentious whatsoever. If you want the best glass of wine in the city, look no further.

More than just a neighborhood bar, but with the unpretentious vibes of your second home. The wine selection is leagues ahead of every list in the neighborhood. Perfectly curated for experts and newly minted vinophiles alike. They do classes on Sundays with local wine experts discussing an array of topics to build your understanding of your own palette.This is a great spot with great people! Justus and Lindsey are the absolute best!
