I drive down the street quite frequently and see all the people there trying to get in and I wanted to be one of the people there (without lines) so I finally made it there on Valentine's Day during the day because I'm unwilling to wait in line for wine . I'm not a super wine lover but I take a sip every now and again so it was nice to get a few words of advisement before I selected a glass to try. My husband and I each tried a glass which we enjoyed. It was nice to just sit outside and take a sip of wine. Anyway, my husband said he'd definitely go back. I would too if they are hosting an event that I'd like to go to. I notice that they host quite a few events - love the idea of small businesses working together in this way.

This was my first time coming here. My friends been telling me all about since it's opening…read more Walking in I was amazed at how beautiful the place is. The decor is gorgeous. It felt like a hidden gem with people having a good time drinking, dancing (a few people), and enjoying each other's company. The wine menu was extensive. There's something for everyone. Reds, whites, dessert wines, etc. The price was great. I only wished I had bought the bottle. By time I was on my 2nd glass I could have spend $10 more to get the bottle. Oh well next time. They also have a monthly membership that has some pretty good perks. The service was great and we even got to meet the owner. Very nice woman who was welcoming. You can tell she put a lot of time, effort, and thought into her business. It's a must go to for date night. There's selective days where there's a DJ playing music.

Mixed Experience at a Beautiful Wine Lounge - Reservation Strongly Recommended…read moreThe ambience here is genuinely lovely - dim lighting, stylish decor, and excellent music selection that created a sophisticated, relaxed vibe. I came alone to enjoy a quiet evening and try their wines, drawn in by the strong Yelp reviews. Unfortunately, my experience was uneven. I arrived without a reservation on a busy Saturday night and was initially told there were no tables available. Thankfully, another patron kindly offered me their extra small side table allowing me to stay - but I watched several groups get turned away at the door. Moral of the story: make a reservation. This place seems much better suited for larger groups, events, or celebrations than for solo visitors. Service felt stretched thin. The staff were pleasant but clearly affected service - they could definitely use more help on busy evenings. When I asked about a wine flight, I was told they were too busy to prepare one. Five to ten minutes later, I watched another table receive flights without issue, which was disappointing and made me feel overlooked as a single patron. I ended up chatting with a nearby group of six women who were also there for the first time based on reviews. We agreed the space is gorgeous and has potential, but our experiences were just "okay" overall. It's a beautiful spot with great music and atmosphere, but the operational hiccups and reservation policy make it tricky for walk-ins or solo guests. I probably wouldn't return personally, but if you're planning a group outing or special event, book ahead and you might have a much better time

We tried the lasagna and the Alfredo pasta, and both were delicious and comforting in the best way. Service was a little on the slower side, but we chose to sit outside on a rainy day, so it felt worth it for the cozy, romantic vibe. It actually added to the experience more than anything. Definitely recommend, and we will absolutely be coming back!

I went for dinner on Wednesday so the restaurant wasn't packed. As soon as you walk in you get git with that Italian restaurant smell (idk how else to describe it) so I was hopeful that it would be good. The restaurant is dimly lit so it creates an intimate atmosphere. Very cozy. Our server was friendly and helped me choose between two dishes I wanted. We started with bread service which includes a few different styles of bread along with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. For my entree I went with the clam linguine. It comes with chopped clams, garlic in a white wine sauce and also has a few whole clams in shell. It was so good. It was very "seafoody" which was just what I was craving. I also got to taste the carbonara, which was also very tasty. It had plenty of pancetta and the sauce was rich. Overall a good experience.

Great spot for cigars, wine, and beer…read more Pacific Wine Merchant's cigar shop is a hidden gem. Great selection of cigars, plus a solid variety of wine and beer all in one place. The shop is clean, well-organized, and has a relaxed vibe that makes you want to take your time browsing instead of feeling rushed. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly--they actually know their cigars and are happy to help whether you're a beginner or someone who knows exactly what they're looking for. Prices are fair, and the quality is on point. If you're into cigars and appreciate having good wine and beer options in the same stop, this place is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.

Cons Price, I guess I didn't expect it and of course, didn't check, I only saw category $$. It was close to $200, full price for wife and I, son $24 (little one was free).

I heard from a friend that there's Music Bingo and Trivia Nights at Grafted Cellars so I was really…read morecurious to see what the hype was all about. We agreed on a set date of mid May but I decided to drop by on my own sooner than that because I just needed a drink or five to celebrate my Sunday. My personal thought? It was one of the best decision ever. I sat at the bar where I met the bartender, Omar. Omar loves his job and definitely shows it! He has a great personality and it's truly wonderful on how he engaged with all his customers. I paid $49/ month to join their basic wine club, which includes a free bottle of wine, weekly complimentary wine flights, as well as discounts to various special events. I absolutely love the fact that they offer real entrees like pasta and pizza instead of just chimichurri board. The steak tasted great and the pizza tasted just as delicious. Overall, my dining experience at Grafted Cellars was a 10/10, and I cannot wait to be back next week for my free flight!

Most people…read morevisiting this area of Claremont tend to forget that this is a restaurant along with an extensive collection of wines. There are indoor and outdoor seating areas as well as seating at the bar counter. We started with Shiso leaf & Ribeye bite, citrus salad with shaved Brie and mint, Potato leak soup, Organic Red carrots, celery root purée with chili oil, Filet mignonette for the main entree and to finish up with a special Halo Halo dessert. Each course was paired with special white or red wine from the packing house. Staff were so attentive and the foods were excellent. From the regular menus, ample selections and at a reasonable price. The bonus is, you can get some wine after dinner.

A friend I met many years ago at a wine tasting invited me to a Burgundy wine class at Packing House Wines, and I attended. The store is located up a few steps on the north side of the Claremont Packing House. Parking is usually not an issue as there is a big multi-level parking garage on the east side of the packing house. All attendees sat down to a list of wines to be tasted, a printed out copy of the slides being presented, a big burgundy wine glass for pours, water, and a nice little charcuterie plate. The owner Sal gave the presentation, and it was easily the best wine class I have ever attended. He talks pretty fast, but not too fast, and his delivery was excellent, providing an extensive amount of information that was easy to understand. We pretty much learned everything about Burgundy wines from the history of the region, the stringent production laws, different classes of Burgundy wines, and details about all of the different producers and regions we tasted wines from. The class was scheduled for two hours, but it ended up lasting for two and a half hours. It would have been easy to stay for much longer as the class and wines were very enjoyable. The wine class was a little pricey at $125 per person, but this was a bargain as Burgundy wines are expensive. We were able to taste ten 1.5 ounce pours including several Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines (one of them was $350/bottle). My favorites were the '17 Albert Bichot Fixin ($53.99) and the '20 Domaine Lecheneaut Vosne Romanee ($124.99) which I purchased. They have wine classes regularly, and I will definitely return if one catches my eye. They have quite a selection of wines for sale, as well as tasting flights and food from their kitchen.

We were first introduced to one another by the previous owners, Mary and Jim, during one of their events--little did we know those introductions would grow into lifelong friendships. Over the years, our Wednesday Wine Nights became a tradition we all cherished. When we learned that the shop was going up for sale, we were understandably nervous. We wondered what would happen if it didn't sell--where would we go? And if it did sell, what if the new owners changed the shop in ways we didn't love? What if we didn't connect with them the way we had with Mary and Jim, who had become family to us? Then it happened, the shop sold. We were introduced to Maria and Veronica, and it was truly love at first meeting. They are two of the kindest, most welcoming women, and they have brought fresh ideas and wonderful energy to the shop. Our Wednesday Wine Nights continue today, and we are grateful to have gained new friends in Maria, Veronica, and their families, who help run this warm, family-operated business. The Third Street Wine Shop remains a place where you are welcomed the moment you walk in--where the owners make you feel like you're their only guests. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a tasting, a glass, or a bottle of exceptional wine, paired with one of their beautiful charcuterie boards or other delicious snacks. And for those who prefer beer, they offer a great selection of local craft options as well. We hope to see you there soon!

I loved the pasta there since it is made with Stella Rosa sauce. Able to buy a bottle of wine and enjoy on the premises (there is a corkage fee). I suggest sitting outdoors with a covered patio is lovely. Gift shop looks like a museum inside. There are special items you can only buy at the location that is not sold elsewhere. Must try the Stella rosa sweet/spicy jam and pasta sauce. There is always a clearance section I like to shop at too. We left with a bunch of cute items and my favorite wine Magdalena cab. Overall a fun time for a fairly new location. Thank you staff and thank you San Antonio for taking care of us on a Saturday afternoon. We will see you again.
