Brandon was our server, and he was great. It seemed a bit busy that night, so there were times when we were waiting on an order, but he was friendly and kind and gave great recs. Ordered a bottle of white wine. He gave a great recommendation for a crisp white wine. I would not come with people who don't drink alcohol. The options are pretty slim. And sad lol. The food surprised me! Quite good. We got the mezza with the whipped feta and it was so good! Also got the burrata salad and it was fresh and delicious! Loved the tiger prawn dish! If you like tapas you will love it because it has chorizo in it and what looks and tastes like saffron. Would definitely return!

It was a nice sunny day, I had the day off and thought it would be a nice time for a tasting. My husband called prior to arrival and was told tastings were $25. It was not explained that tastings take place only at certain times. On arrival to the store the times were explained, and I wish it would have been said over the phone. The store is very dark, dusty, and not very welcoming. The staff member present continuously worked at the counter, not looking up and did not offer assistance. It felt strange that they only acknowledged us when we inquired about the wine tasting on arrival. I will not be patronizing or attending any events here, very disappointing. There are too many other options in Long Beach. R

We stopped in for a couple glasses of their 2023 Extra Brut Sparkling wine ($19). They offer lite bites like charcuterie boards and pizzas from a restaurant next door (North Italia), but we were headed to dinner and didn't partake on this visit. WINES: The wines are well made, complex, and tasty. I'm not usually a huge fan of sparkling wines, but their '23 Extra Brut is amazing! Per bottle prices are reasonable for the quality of the wines. Parking can be difficult, but we once again used the public parking garage about half a block away. Another good experience and I'm sure we'll be back to try the new vintages of their fine wines.

They have a Pickle Pizza (don't knock it 'til you try it) that is just out of this world! I honestly haven't had anything bad there. They also have a decent selection of beers to choose from, in case wine isn't your thing. There is both indoor and outdoor seating for whatever your preference is. The patio is well-covered, so if anyone is trying to stay out of the sun, they've thought of that. Kelly took care of my friend and I, as we decided to go to Claremont instead of braving the crowds at The Upland Lemon Festival this past Sunday. Kelly was an absolute ray of sunshine and took great care of us. We spent a good amount of the afternoon chilling on their patio sipping on Sangiovese, and snacking on the Corn & Tortilla Dip, as well as the Pork Belly appetizer. All were wonderful! NOTE: For the next month or two, their menu will be slightly limited, as they are renovating their kitchen. There's still PLENTY of great stuff to choose from and enjoy, though.

"There's still a Fred Segal?!?"…read more Because last I heard, they were all closed. So my curiosity got the best part of me and asked Hubbers if we can take a look around. He agreed. This ended up being a stop for him! I'm guessing they're still in the process of transitioning from Fred Segal to the now Summer Somewhere Wines stop. So.... Im not a wine fiend, but Hubbers is. He asked if we could just hangout here for a bit to try a white. "Of course!" I tell him. Marquis was our server and I gotta say, off the bat he was sooooooo friendly and welcoming. He answered all of Hubbers' questions regarding their products until he finally decided on one. I asked for water as I got parched from all the walking we did prior to coming through. Marquis checked on us after awhile, and he dreaded the fact he forgot to bring me my water. He felt really bad, I told him it wasn't a big deal and to bring me one when he got the chance. He did me one better and comp'd it for me. Sweet! It really was a good 20-minute chill. Hubbers enjoyed his sips, I enjoyed people watching as I sipped through my water and Marquis made the experience much better. Great first run!

Kept seeing flyers for it I kept forgetting to go and I really didn't think that the wine would be very good. But what was actually incredibly surprising was the detail and the quality! I think the buy appointment only is it common but highly appreciated once you get there for sure! I ended up not getting the wine because I wanted to try the hard apple cider. I definitely had a little buzz going and it was only I think five or something maybe six different flavors very good size for a flight. Next time I'll come back for the wine because they are made there! Some of the grape grapes are shipped in and there is a local orchard. Just a very cool and surprising little spot. I was not expecting the hands-on aspect of the winery. I'm looking forward to going back! Special shout out to the staff for being accommodating, conversational, friendly, fast and efficient! Honestly it was a fantastic experience.
