Donovan's Favorites In San Diego
Andy R.

Stumbled into this gem following a Padres game and then a trip to Little Italy where this wonderful place is located......let me rethink this, I'm not sure if this place is so spectacular or if our experience was so exemplary because of Donovan the bartender.......not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about all the wines and knew exactly what would tickle our palates, but as visitors, he took the time to share his favorites list of San Diego......don't let his young looks fool you, Donovan knows his shit!!!

A very cool little spot in Little Italy for wine lovers. They have a very great and friendly staff. The selection is huge and they have great deals that vary depending on the time. Great place to come and hang out and have some great wine.

I really like this wine spot in Little Italy, very centrally located and in a very cute old house. The seating areas are diverse - outside on the patio and alley, first floor indoor area and upstairs. It has a very comfy homey feel with quirky wine sayings on the walls. The diversity of wine is pretty good as well and on this particular visit, I got the red sangria. It was good but I personally like mine a little sweeter. Service here has always been great and the bartenders are helpful and friendly. I do notice that there is some confusion when people walk in as to whether they order at the downstairs bar first or if they sit down and order. I highly recommend, it's a great choice if you like wine!

Cute little hidden Gem! They are known for Sangria. Upstairs has board games with a view of the outside. Highly recommend!

My friend and I came in for a quick glass of wine but stayed for Nico! She did such a lovely job at suggesting different wines we would like based on our different tastes, that we ended up staying for 3 glasses. Not only was the wine great, so was the conversation. She gave us a lot of good info & tips for our first time in San Diego. Shoutout to Nico for such a fun experience!

I have been wanting to come to M Winehouse for so long. Located in the heart of Little Italy, this little wine shop is housed in what looks like a literal two story home. It's got cottage vibes on the outside and quirky 50-something woman vibes on the inside. You'll know what I mean when you walk in. The walls are littered with posters of cheesy sayings. Those ones that give sassy vibes about coffee, wine or age. There are two stories. You order from the bar downstairs and can sit either downstairs or upstairs. There are a bunch of board games upstairs. The upstairs area is better for larger groups while the downstairs has smaller seating options. They had a good selection of wines- all glasses at around $12-18.

Visiting from LA we were walking around the area and saw this cute wine bar that resembled an old house from back in the days (the plaque said it's a historical landmark from1888). There was a sign on the sidewalk that said "oh look, it's wine o'clock" and that was the perfect time to get some wine. They had some options for seating which was the Porch, Bar area or attic, so we decided to head upstairs to attic. We had the space all to ourselves which was great. I love the shabby chic decor with sayings and drawings in frames all over the walls and a shelf full of games for us to play. This space was so cozy and inviting. We chose the table closest to the window with open air, watching the people go by as we played dominoes and enjoyed each others company. The server who was super nice and energetic, came up to take our order and serve them. Honestly, if they served actual food, other than the charcuterie board..., we probably would've stayed longer. It's like we didn't want to leave but we were too hungry. Service: great Cleanliness: great I would come back when I visit SD even though I'm not much of a wine drinker, but my friends are .

Loving this little wine house. Go in, order at the bar and grab a seat. Lots of options to select from. Also has beers and sangria. There's bar seating, table seating, upstairs and a little porch in front. Seating is limited, but people come and go so I've never had a problem. I wish I could sit in the porch, but usually the people who get lucky enough to claim does seats never leave! Little dim, very intimate vibes. Interesting decor. Bathroom is walking through a little hall outside the house which is actually kind of creepy, I'd recommend going with someone.

Their signature Red Sangria! It was so good!
Shayla B.

So dang CUUUTE!!! This little wine bar is absolutely adorbs. And not only that; they have a nice selection of wine too. Service was good albeit a tad slow since there was only one gentleman manning the fort on a busy Saturday night. However, that man was busting his arse to keep up with the crowds, and acknowledged everyone that came in. The interior space is small but comfortable. They have a patio parklet right in front that seems to be way more popular than their indoor bar. I loved reading all of the funny quotes on the walls. You know, those funny wine quotes that you'll often find in souvenir shops?! Well, they have a slew of those. They carry wine from all over the world here (France, Italy, Austria, Spain, California, etc). You can taste a splash of anything off of their menu before you commit to buying anything. You can purchase by the glass or bottle, and the prices are pretty reasonable considering that their bar is located right in the heart of Little Italy. The wine steward was really great in suggesting some wines to try based on my palate. I ended up having a few glasses of Pinot Noir and Zinfandel. I also enjoyed a scrumptious glass of their house made sangria! You guuuyyyyss.... their sangria is the shiiieeett! I wasn't going to get it until the wine steward convinced me. He was right. It was so fragrant and fruity. They're known for their house made sangria and rightfully so. It perfect to sip on when it hot outside. They have daily wine specials and they also carry light bites if you're hungry. Since I had planned on having dinner a few doors down, I just hung out and enjoyed the wine. I can see why this is a popular kick it spot. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a nice place to chill with some wine in Little Italy.

This spot may not look like a wine spot , It is this wine house has a very homely feel. It's like your home, right in the heat of little Italy in San Diego . I you want to relax, this is a great spot with good service. thank me later. Shaun Rossettos

This place is definitely small and quaint but it is such an awesome spot to grab a night cap glass of wine after dinner. They do have charcuterie boards you can order if you need a bite to eat but their wine selection is pretty great and quite extensive. Monica was our server running the show and she was very knowledgeable on what wines we should try. There is also an upstairs area that has games to enjoy with friends while you enjoy some vino.

When I asked the bartender if that was the full menu, since it seemed odd there wasn't even a charcuterie option, his response was, "which restaurant has two menus?" Not the best start. Shortly after, when we mentioned we wanted to order a bottle, we were then handed a much more extensive wine list...which also included another small bites menu. That alone was confusing and felt inconsistent. We ordered a rosado from Spain, which we did enjoy, but overall the experience didn't match what you'd expect from a wine bar. The bottle wasn't chilled, and we noticed others in the restaurant had the same issue. Service was also lacking. The bartender never checked back on us, despite us sitting right at the bar. Overall, not the experience we were expecting. I'd recommend saving your money and going elsewhere.

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.

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.

Alright. Enough with the nonsense Juan Jaspar…read more The staff is not friendly, unless you're a regular. The staff enjoys chatting with customers more than doing their actual JOB. The staff is entitled, upright and annoying. They don't have a proper waiting list system. You can't pay with your cc, only zelle and or venmo. Juan Jaspar is VERY dog friendly, like over the top. There's literally more dogs than people. They have sketchy chairs outside for you to wait until their heart desires. One tip for this desperate little place: time your tables to 90 mins max. You don't have the square footage nor the grit to keep it up. I do not recommend this place to myself nor anyone else. I am banning myself indefinitely from Juan Jaspar. Trust your gut people. I said I wouldn't go back and I did. That was mi mal.

Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. Menu looks simple, yet the server assured us they can make other items that aren't on the menu (like steak frites) because of the butchery next door. I will have to make another visit to try the steak frites and their desserts next time. Although there aren't many seats, the atmosphere is cozy and the service is friendly.

They were promoting the movie Garfield at the time, so we got some swag as well. There weren't too many cats on the first level.

Most cafes/lounges are in shopping centers and do not have the luxury of such a cool feature. I love how secure the facility is by having multiple doors to keep the cats safe and from getting outside. You can tell that the owners carefully thought out their space and the thing I appreciate the most is that you do not smell the litter boxes. I have been to a couple of cafes that smelled horribly and this is coming from someone that not only has a cat sanctuary in ATX, but I have had cats my entire life and you never smell litter box in my home or in my facility. Whiskers and Wine is a great place to unwind and spend time with beautiful kitties in need of a fur-ever home. I understand that some people do not get the concept of a cat cafe, but in order for them to provide such an incredible service to animals, they still have to pay the bills to house and feed the cats. The biggest take away is that cage free facilities are much better for the cats than when they are kept in cages at the local shelter or other animal rescues. Thank you for a great time and for all that you do to help cats in need!

I made a reservation however, we got there right when they opened and were seated promptly. At first we sat outside but got up to ask to move and the manager asked is if it was a little chilly out while waving us inside in such an inviting way. For drinks we ordered from the Zero proof menu, the Glow Up I believe. It was nice and subtle with complimenting flavors. A bit sour but sweet as well. For food we ordered the Soup of the Moment which was a chicken noodle soup with pesto. And we got the Chicken Monzerella Panini. The soup was served warm but not hot which I would have appreciated cuz it was a bit cold that morning. The Chicken Monzerella Panini was toasted perfectly with juicy chicken and a nice dressing inside, it was a really good panini We both ordered Bruschetta boards with 4 bruschettas. We got the Brie Apple Fig, Sweet N Spicy Peper Jam Goat Cheese, Burrata Bacon Arugula Tomato, Fresh Monzerella Tomato Basil, Prosciutto Fig Marscarpone, Smoked Salmon Pesto, Salami Pesto, and the Chef's Choice. The Brie Apple Fig was such a refreshing taste it was enjoyable bit! The Sweet N Spicy Pepper Jam Goat Cheese was good with balance flavors but the Goat Cheese wasnt for me. If you like Goat Cheese you'd love this! The Burrata Bacon Arugula Tomato was so refreshing with a nice balance of subtle citrus and really delightful Bacon on it. Just a refreshing bit! The Fresh Monzerella Tomato Basil was good. It was light and nice but simple too. If you're not looking for anything flashy, this js the one for you. The Prosciutto Fig Marscarpone was freshly and salty in al the right ways. It eas a beautiful pairing. Just wonderful. The Smoked Salmon Pesto was really nice with fried capers ans raw red onions on top, it made for a wonderful bite. The Salami Pesto was okay, honestly not to impresside but still a safe choice. And the Chef's Choice was a Mexican street corn tossed in cream and Tapatio and topped with queso fresco and more tapatio. I personally thought there was too much Tapatio but it was still a decent bruschetta. I just thought the bread was a but over toasted ans some burnt making for some hard bites. Overall very nice place and definitely recommend!
