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.

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).

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.

Though I enjoy the other location with lots of shops and restaurants around, I now enjoy the easy parking, and the fact it is just off the freeway which makes it easy to stop in. So far I have been to the new location twice: once for the grand opening and once to pick up my allocation. They make lots of great wines. For me, I love the bold dry reds, and here they are amazing. In fact, I don't think they make a red I don't enjoy. Lately, I have really been enjoying the Sangiovese. A fun part of being in this wine club are some of the events. My husband and I went to a few great culinary events where they pair foods from local restaurants with their wines. Keep in mind that it is dog friendly and you can bring in whatever food you would like to have with your wine. It's fun to go to a local winery, and the quality is amazing!

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.

A little outdoor seating, a bar top area, and a comfortable indoor area that is very inviting, were a surprise as I approached the location. The food is elegant, is presented amazing, and tastes great. I started with the Sweet Corn and Piñon Soup. I see why it was voted best soup for two years in a row. The thinly sliced corn bread adds an amazing texture in those bites. I had the Apricot salad (sorry I did not note the name and the menu was updated so it is not in any of the pictures) was fresh, crisp, and refreshing. I finished the evening with a Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta with sugared dark cherry was very pleasing. I almost forgot the focaccia bread.. made daily, served warm and soft. A must have. The server had a couple of hiccups with an incorrect food order and totally separate billing issue (which by their reaction I would assume was an off night) but other food delivery staff and bussing staff were timely and professional. I would recommend reservations. I was able to secure a seat (due to showing for dinner around 4 pm or so), but the restaurant filled up nicely and hosted about 4 anniversary's and 1 birthday in my time there. Dress attire seemed casual but there is definitely a more elevated clientele so I would recommend a thoughtful outfit for the experience.
