What people say

5 out of 5 stars

“A wine bar that makes you forget you are in the middle of Orange County. The verity of wine is tremendous and changes often but you will always find something to enjoy. What is consistent is the friendly atmosphere, comfortable seating and staff who make the place feel like you are going to a friends house. We always appreciate their willingness to make conversation or leave the party to themselves if that is the vibe. We never pass on a cheese plate! It’s great place for date night, stop by after a long day where silence is golden, or to enjoy an evening catching up with friends.”
