She has such an enthusiasm for wine that it is infectious! Her knowledge is unquestionably vast but more importantly is her professionalism and personable approach in presenting the wine and keeping it fun and laid back yet educational and informative. Meghan's services go far beyond wine tasting events. We recently took a trip up to Sonoma and Meghan facilitated our tastings with several wineries and we could not have been more pleased with our experience! She has connections to many top wine makers all over and she passes on those benefits to her clients. We feel lucky to have met her and we will continue to use her services for all our future wine country trips as well as local wine maker tastings/dinners. We think she should be an honorary family member!

The entire class agreed with me that it is an excellent experience and well worth your time and money! Thank you both again, and see you for level 2 (likely with co-workers of mine) very soon!!

As a wife and mother, it's…read moreone of the few places where I truly get to step out of "mom mode," relax, and just enjoy the moment for myself. The atmosphere is always welcoming, especially on live music nights. The owner is incredibly friendly and makes it a point to personally connect with every guest, which makes the experience feel even more special and intimate. It is a smaller venue, so I highly recommend making reservations if you want guaranteed seating because once the live music starts, the place fills up FAST. But every single time I go, it's always a great experience. One thing I truly love most about this spot is how it naturally brings people together. I've met new friends just by sitting, chatting, and enjoying the music and wine. It's such a positive and inviting environment. If you're ever in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by and showing support. And I absolutely have to add it's a Black-owned business, so let's continue supporting and pouring into businesses that create spaces like this for the community.

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

What a cute little shop! Natural‑wine lovers, this is a must‑visit. Located in Normal Heights, Clos…read moreWine Shop has a great selection of natural wines (plus some vermouth) from all over the world. Many bottles have handwritten notes describing the wine and highlighting whether it's chillable -- super helpful when you're trying to find the right bottle. They also serve wine by the glass, and you can open a bottle in‑shop for a small corkage fee. It would be nice if they offered tastings. I was between two wines from their by‑the‑glass menu and asked to sample both, but the host mentioned they usually don't do samples, which felt a bit unusual compared to other wine bars and shops I've been to. Even so, she was very friendly and attentive, and every staff member we interacted with was knowledgeable and clearly passionate about wine. They also carry a wide selection of canned fish and some snacks you can buy -- such a fun touch. A charming, well‑curated natural wine shop that's definitely worth a visit.

This place is amazing! There are surprisingly few wine bars in this area (you'd think San Diego…read morewould have more) so finding this spot felt like such a gem. If you're looking for a sunny patio where you can relax, read a book with your dog by your side, and enjoy natural wines alongside cheese and small bites, this is the place. I stumbled in without a book, but honestly, it was just as nice pulling out my phone and reading for a while with a glass of wine in hand. The patio is adorable, and there's also cozy seating inside. Feeling chilly? They even have a basket of blankets you can grab on your way out to the patio, such a thoughtful (and very cute) touch. The wine menu appears to change often, which I love, variety keeps things interesting. They offer both bottles and wines by the glass, and if you don't finish your bottle, they'll happily cork it for you to take home. The olives were delicious, some stuffed with anchovy and all marinated in a flavorful oil with light seasoning. Along with olives, you'll find great snack options like cheeses, crackers, and an impressive selection of tinned fish. The staff was beyond friendly and genuinely helpful, which made the experience even better. I'll absolutely be back. So glad I discovered you, Clos Wine Shop!
