Blundered into this place on a rare sunny and warm Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks ago, I had…read moretotally forgotten about it. We were not well-dressed, we had left the house in a bit of a hurry to catch the last rays of sun. We started with a nibble in Little Saigon and had decided to continue walking up Polk since we hadn't been there in some time. There were some people hanging out at tables on the sidewalk obviously enjoying a glass. Inside the shopkeeper was seated at a table having a conversation with an elegantly-dressed woman over a glass of wine but -despite our ordinary appearance - didn't hesitate to help us. I was looking for something very specific which I had found there before: a Sardinian wine called Monica. No, really! They didn't have any but had a couple of recommendations from the region, including one with a grape varietal I'd never heard of. So we walked out of there with two different bottles. We're not big drinkers, but we had one on Father's Day and the other one a week later. Both really good. I'm glad this place isn't in my neighborhood, or I'd be wine-poor. But undoubtedly happy!

We took the sandwiches to the little park down the street and sat there!

The person who assisted us was friendly, patient, helpful with our request and navigated us to a bottle based on his suggestion. He provided a history of its origin and the reason he recommended it.

We went red and were satisfied with our selection, happily finishing off the bottle during our time at Arbor - next door.

Their wine selection is huge, with bottles from all different regions and price ranges. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming, taking the time to answer questions and give recommendations without making me feel rushed or overwhelmed. I ended up going with this beautiful bottle of Chianti Classico and it definitely felt like a great choice for the occasion. The shop itself also has a very calm and cozy atmosphere that makes browsing enjoyable. You can tell this is the type of place made for people who genuinely enjoy wine, whether you're experienced or just trying to find something good for dinner. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're looking for a quality bottle of wine, a thoughtful recommendation or just want to explore something new.

He met a lot of the famous California wine vineyards that now can go for $500 a bottle 30 years ago or 50 years ago when there were just getting started and only for $5 a bottle. He is super friendly and accommodated us even for a last minute Monday wine tasting a few minutes after the original 8:00 and said he was just excited to have us come see the space and also talked through about how hard it is even make the wine shelves which he made all by himself selecting the redwood lumber and cutting everything there while a junior in college! Greg got into wine through taking a wine class at school way back and got excited by how a lot of the fathers at his school were both into wine and classical music and really shared his passion with us -- talking about not only a wine but also the farm to table movement and how Chez Panissse helped to innovate there! Additionally, the other folks at the bar were lovely talking about how they got into wine and their journeys and favorite wines! Definitely would suggest Monday wine tasting nights !!!

The staff are incredibly knowledgable as well when I feel like exploring something new. Don't be afraid to ask for help and let the staff know what styles of wines you typically enjoy. When I have some writing to do, I love sitting in the bar with a bottle of wine to do a little work while people watching and enjoying some great wine.
