Walked into this gem an hour before closing last night and nobody else was in the place. Lucky for us the owners were the only people there and we ended up literally having the best evening hanging out with them! It was so unexpected! We just instantly felt like old friends. Seriously so much fun with incredible humans! We closed the place down. We’re sad we don’t live in the area or we’d be here regularly.
We had a few tastes of wine and thoroughly enjoyed what we had. Yum!
If you are in the area, go!
Thank you for the incredible conversation and hospitality Miguel and Claire (hope you finally watched the movie The Jerk)!! We hope to see you next year! PS, so happy we got to meet Hannah on our way out. Good luck to you all!

A laudable selection of local, area, mostly smaller producer California wine makers. Prices are highly reasonable for the excellent quality of the wines. And, service is friendly and welcoming. There’s a nice little patio out front. I definitely want to go back.

Great atmosphere to share some wine and light snacks with friends, cozy and quiet spot in downtown Monterey

My second time here and it is always better the second time around. Tried the Rose from Napa, the Reisling from Monterey and the Pinot from Santa Lucia and all I recommend. The bacon sliders and Prosciutto wraps were soooo delicious. Walking distance to the Marriott, which was a bonus. Overall great wine bar and would definitely return!!

We stayed at the Portola hotel and came in for a good glass of vino. The server/Owner was wonderful and the space is really neat. We went back the second night because we loved the service and good atmosphere! Only place we went to twice on our trip! Highly recommend!!
PS-the Jesus wine was absolutely fantastic;-)

Had the most lovely time. Wine flight and cheese plate were amazing. Proud of myself for finishing cornichones and the green olives because I prefer sweet than salty.

Vibes were immaculate, loved the wine tasting flight that gave you the option of choosing any 4 curated wines, and happy hour deal was great too!
Paige introduced the wines to us patiently and was so friendly – the Chardonnay Paige recommended was absolutely amazing, and the space was full of board games and good energy. Would definitely visit again!

Love this place. The wine list is always changing and they offer lots of local wines in addition to wines from all over California. Lots of small boutique wines that don’t have their own tasting rooms and can’t be found in other stores. Love the owner and room manager. They’ve been the faces of the business since the start and the new employees I’ve interacted with a bit have been great too. They’re super welcoming, offer lots of fun nights whether paint and sip or trivia.

Jason and Claire are great hosts. Any local thinking of joining a wine club should definitely consider this one. They offer a great selection of local wines and you aren’t locked into just one particular winery’s choices. They do an amazing job curating affordable and approachable wines that will be a great addition to your collection. And, it is a great place to bring friends and family to introduce them to what California wines are.
