250 North City Dr #10, San Marcos

“Me and my good friends been searching a natural wine place to settle down, drink some wine and have a good time. This place has a wide variety of wines, from tasty Rieslings to delicious and bold red wines. Emily and Jody served us and always provided samples of wine and knowledge every bit of glass that was offered. I didn’t know anything about wine and never knew what I liked. Eventually, after trying so many, I found out Riesling is my to go to. This one of my weekend getaways whether if it’s solo or with friends! Definitely come through during farmers market on Friday or any day you’re available! They curate multiple events as well on a weekend basis! Must try!”

“Had a late lunch with friends on a rainy Sunday. It was pouring rain, the only way to park in the restaurant parking lot was to valet, otherwise you have to park on the street or further away in another parking lot. The food, service and view was excellent. I couldn't help but to notice how stained the dining chairs were and the tables looked worn and tired. It's too bad the management doesn't see this and address it. The prices are very reasonable, it's worth a try if you love fresh Italian cuisine.”

“We love Shores. With football now starting, it is not so great. It is known as a Packers bar. Today there were 6 Packers fan and the rest of the other team fans had to listen to the loud Packers game. Also, one bartender saved seats for over 2 hours for people who didn't show up. That is not right for everyone who shiftwd seats to accommodate the regular guests. Not "shore" if we'll be back during football. I hope Pete figures it out.”
