I've been enjoying Gianni Buonomo's wines for about 7 years now. I loved their tasting room OB. It…read morewas so cute and back-in-the-day, it was super fun to go to the OB Street Fair on Wednesday to pick up some food and then enJoy it with a glass of wine or two in the tasting room with other lively patrons. Brigitte was a very nice member of the business back then, and either Al or Keith was usually on hand to chat about the wines and other things in a friendly manner. My favorite wine was their version of Viognier & M's favorite is the Symphony. (Neither one of us is big drinker.) Last year, they moved to new location on Pickett Street. It feels smaller and more cramped than their previous space but it is decorated nicely and has a small dedicated parking lot. It is also in a very industrial area, and a bit out of the way. For me, it's not super conducive to hanging out. I can understand the reasons for moving, but it definitely impacted the ambiance, imo. Today, we picked up a bottle of Symphony from Al to take home. There were a few patrons inside enjoying their wine on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Gianni Buonomo is a special and unexpected winery that is definitely worth experiencing. Their wines have won multiple awards and Keith & Al are super knowledgeable and amicable.

On a Thursday afternoon, there were a couple of other winery members picking up and tasting wines when we got there. We did a red wine flight and tried a varietal we have never had before (Lagrein) of two different years. They source the grapes from Washington State and California (Sierra foothills and Amador county). All of the wines we've had was very enjoyable. You can taste the care and thoughtfulness that goes into their wine making process. Very chill atmosphere and conducive to an enjoyable taste experience. There's a nice parking area for tasters right in front of the wine shop.

This time around, it was just the 3 of us, to chat over some wine and apps. Had their April featured Pinot, which was amazing (had 2 glasses). It's good to keep in mind that they only sell their flatbreads on certain days and unfortunately, they didn't serve it when we went. So, instead we had the crostinis, which is perfect if you want a little bit of everything, but not sure what to get. My friend got the chicken Caesar wrap, and it was a lot bigger than expected. As far as the ambience, there's seating all around the bar that's located in the middle. So it's convenient to just walk up to the bar to place your order. Servers and bartenders were friendly and quick. Overall this is a great laid-back place for small or large groups.

I wanted to update my review, as I have been back several times through the years. Since my…read moreinitial review, there have been several changes.... some better than others. First, I still really enjoy the Carruth Wine Garden. It is nice to have an outdoor space to drink wine right in the center of the city. In general there plenty of parking ,and it is dog friendly. As far as the wine, it is very good. I like some more than others. More recently, I have enjoyed the Unicorn Red Blend ( a longtime favorite) and the Syrah. I love that it is dog friendly, inside and out. My dog loves going there and she makes friends each time. A change that they made recently is that the main garden area is now child-free, which was a positive change in my options, as it had gotten a bit chaotic in the past with children not being very well supervised. The still have a family-friendly outdoor space. In the past, there was always live music when I came. I was there most recently on a Saturday evening and was disappointed that there was no music. Also, the prices have gone up ($18 per glass). Unfortunately, I found the pours to be somewhat inadequate, though it depended which staff member was pouring the wine. They do not allow for outside food, and only make certain dishes certain days of the week, which unfortunately doesn't allow for many options if you are hungry. Water is readily available inside and outside. All in all, it is a lovely place with good wine to come with friends and your 4-legged friends. It has gotten a bit pricey, and I do wish we could bring out own snacks, but I still enjoy going and am sure that I will be back.

Great staff, cheerful and helpful with suggestions if you just aren't sure in what to get.

Audish wine is the coolest winery in all of San Diego because they are biodynamic wines with…read moreminimal intervention that are all organic and all grown here! Other San Diego wine clubs focus on things like Spanish and French wines, fancy bubbly wines, Santa Barbara or Santa Rita.... This is truly San Diego. Oddish also has some of the craziest wines I've ever seen. For example, they had one called the hybrid that mixed wine, Mead, and cider. If you're looking to have fun and try a wine that is not full of itself but instead full of character, this is what you want. Also, I have a lot of friends who say that drinking wine makes them feel sick and that they never feel sick when they drink Oddish wines. Must be the way that they produce it and just how natural it really is. It's inside of a space called The Garten which is also such a must-see spot. They have Mead, beer, and a pizza truck? Pizza, outdoor oven type thing haha. And a stage that sometimes has live music. You order your drinks, sit on picnic tables with others, and enjoy the beautiful San Diego Sunshine

The front space is small but there's plenty more room in the back--did someone say trivia night?? Service was excellent, with staff offering a few "Costco-size" samples as our party of 6 waffled over the menu. While the popular 2024 Dawn Orange Wine (Peach, raw honey, meyer lemon - Central Coast * Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Grenache Blanc; partially carbonic, 3 weeks skin contact) wasn't to my personal taste, I did enjoy the 2023 PCH Rosé of Pinot Noir (Bright, floral, delicate fruit flavors - Santa Barbara County * Whole-cluster pressed, aged in neutral vessels for 2 months).

Both are strong beers from 9.3% to 11.5%. They were super tasty and easy to drink for me. We sat on the patio which was nice view of India Street. I love all their decor because everything is beer related as it should be. The bathroom has beers listed that I remembered trying in my early 20's which was fun to see and gave me a nostalgia feeling. The nice gentleman that was working was super helpful and friendly. Gave us his recommendations on what beers to try. Overall it was a great experience trying a new beer spot that has delicious beers.

Mind you I am a huge fan of strong IPAs and dark stouts, and they had them. The prices were average compared to other breweries but the ones I tasted were insanely good.

Great place for a get together!

To the owner who wrote me back in regards to my review I did read the website and check my sources…read morebefore reserving to go on your tour. On your website it indicates, 6 PERSON MINIMUM! Tour runs after we get a total of 6 signups. However what I was referring to was the email I received which stated " You're reservation for Public Taste of Baja Tour on Saturday, July 1, 2023 for 2 tickets has been cancelled. If you have any questions feel free to call 619-535-9994 or email bookings@bajawinerytours.com." Before assuming your customers are not reading the information on your business site, make sure you take the time to ask questions to understand exactly what they are referring to. The condescending annotation in your reply is another reason why I would never go on this tour. Edit: you could have said what you updated your message with in the beginning rather than making it seem as if your customers did not read the information that was given on your site. All explanations would have been cleared up then, however you wanted to come and try to reiterate the message as if their was a lack of clarity.

The gentleman/waiter handed us the menu and went on his way. Chips and salsa along with waters for the table were brought and then that was when the service of our waiter went downhill. We ordered the ahi tuna and guacamole for our appetizers but the timing for the meal was so off. It was a long wait before the waiter even checked back on us and which is when I asked for a refill on my water and chips. We had order drinks as well. The smoked old fashion was good and the ahi tuna appetizer portion was plentiful. There were some parts of the diced ahi that was a bit chewy. The gaucamole portion was large and it wasn't until I asked another waiter did my refill of water and chips arrive. For entree, we got the scallops with corn cake, a salad and I had the poblano burger. I asked for the burger to be cooked to medium. When the entrees arrived my burger was overcooked with no pink in sight. The flavor of the burger was good but the burger was definitely dry as can be. The corn cake with scallop was interesting it was almost like the corn cake was a croquet that encased a corn salsa. Overall the food was okay but the service left a lot to be desired. The waiter and the end seemed to put up a fake act when the check came. Since we asked for the check it seemed like the waiter was on hyper speed. Overall the view is nice but the food and service did not meet the expectations.
