    a plate of pizza and a bottle of wine
    Ryan R.

    Got to hang with Manny. Don't let the stacks of boxes throw you off. Like a crazy scientist, the emphasis is on flavor and experience rather than a bougy place with a lot of marble and wood counters. Manny is an expert in the hard to find stuff and has his own descriptions of the experience for each wine and a story. The experience is sincere rather than a fabricated theatre of wine jargon. The wines are anywhere from simple, to complex and common to ultra rare. If you are an enthusiast, you are missing out if you don't come here.

    We arrived here around 4pm on a Saturday afternoon. My fiance and I were the only ones there besides the owner. He was super nice and gave us so much information and background on our drinks! I did the 5 tastings of wine, and my finance got a beer. We just sat inside chatting with the owner. It was super chill, and the tastings were so delicious. The selection is unique and personalized. We walked out with a big box of beer and wine for friends and family (and obviously ourselves), but we very much enjoyed the owner's company and the laid-back vibe of the location. The location is quite small, but lots of great wines to choose from. Upon making our purchase, the owner had also printed out some additional information about the wines we got, which I thought was so thoughtful. Definitely looking forward to returning!

    Such a cute, romantic, dainty wine bar!! They have a great collection of wine, everything from affordable bottles, to Fergalicious to expensive! We had a party of 6 girls, walked in at 8pm on a Saturday night (no wait). Manny was so accommodating, friendly & informative. We really appreciated his time and his wine recommendations. We ended up buying 2 bottles and having them during dinner. $10 for 5 tastings or $12 for 7. Definitely, go for 7 tastings!! It's totally worth it and Manny has an excellent pour :)

    We were excited to come here and Manny explained the 5 wines we tasted and gave us wine tips. However he was a one man band today and our leisurely tasting seemed to take a long time. He apologized multiple times for the wait. The wines were all tasty and the $11 for 5 wines of your choosing is a great price. Just sit and smell the rosays.

He explained the vineyards/wine-making processes connected to each of the 6 wines we tasted, which were a couple of Rieslings (Mike's specialty) and a Pinot Noir at the end. The tasting was accompanied by a small charcuterie spread, which was an appreciated gesture. The wines featured diverse palates and mouthfeels, and we bought bottles of our two favorite wines (both Rieslings, one from Wirz Vineyard and one called La Estancia) at the end of the experience. Mike really was a gracious and knowledgeable host, we appreciated his passion for his craft that he spearheaded in 2002. Overall, this was a really unique and insightful experience that elevated our Christmas season getaway!

My husband and I never plan ahead when it comes to visiting tasting rooms. We called on the day-of to check their availability, and the owner Mike was more than accommodating. The setting was tucked away and lovely, and the wine was phenomenal. They specialize in riesling but their pinot was also so delicious that we had to buy several bottles. The tasting itself was very relaxed and came with yummy treats including his wife's homemade tumeric bread. We had a great time and left feeling like we'd just hit the jackpot on unique experiences. Will definitely visit again! *Bonus- there were cats to pet. :)

From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly cool -- the kind of place that makes you want to stay longer than planned. The wine selection is incredible, thoughtfully curated, and every recommendation felt spot-on. You can tell there's real passion behind what they do here. The staff makes you feel like family, not tourists. Genuine, knowledgeable, and fun -- the kind of service that turns a great wine bar into an unforgettable one. We laughed, we learned, we sipped some truly amazing wine, and honestly didn't want to leave. If you're anywhere near Pismo Beach and don't stop at Cali Love Wine, you're doing it wrong. This place isn't just a wine bar -- it's an experience, a memory, and a reason we'll be coming back.

I think what makes this place special is that there's a story behind each bottle of wine and unique label by an artist to go with the story. It was hard to choose between the wines we liked and the art on the bottles lol. But they did say you can have any art label put on the bottle you wanted, but to is the story wouldn't match.

The views are beautiful, and depending on where you're seated, you can either enjoy the harbor scenery or spend some time people-watching. The artwork on the wine labels is stunning and adds a unique touch to the experience. I also appreciated the stories behind the wine names, the focus on small-batch production, and especially the charity bottle program. It's clear that a lot of thought and passion go into the brand. As for the wines themselves, they just weren't a fit for my palate, particularly at the price point. I recognize that wine preferences are highly personal, and there were others around the tasting room who seemed to enjoy them much more than I did. I also felt that the tasting experience could have been more engaging. Our server was pleasant not the most engaging, we felt like we were bothering her. Overall, I appreciated the creativity, mission, and atmosphere, even though the wines and tasting experience didn't quite resonate with me.
