What a cute little shop! Natural‑wine lovers, this is a must‑visit. Located in Normal Heights, Clos Wine 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. read more

First time coming to clos for an event and it was so fun! It was a wine tasting event in their basement. It was my first time seeing the expanded space. For being a tasting event I was worried it would feel really crowded but they spaced out people going into the event and the actual tables were well situated so it didn't feel crowded. They also provided jamon and cheese which was a really nice surprise! The downstairs space also sells some snacks and homegoods. There was a variety of chips and popcorn, tinned fish, chili oil, cook books, etc. it was fun to look around while we were tasting. read more

Wonderful spot! I saw them online... ordered and realized they were located in SD. Paul handled my order well and added a tin fish on the house when one in my cart was sold out after I checked out. After going to the shop and seeing the downstairs... I enjoyed a glass of wine while taking my time shopping for tin seafood from the shelves. Great selection of tin seafood and all the sides to accompany a fish-cuterie or meal. read more

This is the epitome of neighborhood wine tasting room perfection! Clos is located in the heart of University Heights. It's a thoughtfully curated tasting room filled with unique bottles of bubbles, whites, oranges and reds. Nothing boring here. You can enjoy a class on the sunny patio or take a seat inside of the tasting room. Either way, you're in for a treat. Food options are minimal but they have some nice cheese boards. You can also start or end here and grab a bite in the nearby area. The staff here is so personable! They're there to serve you something you love and took the time to understand what we were looking for. Our server found a matching bottle that perfectly fit what we wanted! It's like she could read our mind! I'm pretty picky and rarely compelled to buy a bottle but I couldn't help grabbing two oranges. I love a unique orange and they had two that were just so special I couldn't resist. The prices were also great and so accessible. Absolutely obsessed with this little wine room! read more

Easily the highlight of University Heights!! This neighborhood wine bar is an absolute gem! The wine selection is incredible--curated, affordable, and always surprising in the best way. The tin fish and charcuterie plates are delicious and such a unique pairing with the wines. And the downstairs market with tin fish and other DIY charcuterie stuff is super cute and affordable. But what really sets this place apart is the people. The owners, Paul and Juerie, make you feel welcomed instantly. Their passion for what they do shines through, and chatting with Margeaux is always a pleasure! They are all friendly, knowledgeable, and make every visit feel special. If you're in University Heights (or honestly anywhere nearby), this wine bar is a must. It's warm, inviting, and consistently fantastic! Can't recommend it highly enough! read more

My friend and I went to Clos Wine Shop on a Saturday evening with our two dogs. I had read the positive reviews of this wine shop, and we always love to go to places that are dog friendly. The shop was packed on a Saturday night. We had planned to sit on the patio but it was full, so luckily our furry friends were welcomed indoors. The place was small but comfortable. There is a self-service station for water, a few tables, and a small bottle shop with other treats to buy, primarily tinned fish. Anyway, for a small shop, I felt they had a decent selection of wines by the glass: 5 reds and 5 whites. The service was friendly and very good. They were able to give us a good description of the wines on the menu. My friend tried a couple of the whites and found one she really liked. I enjoyed the Syrah Blend. However, I do wish that they had something fuller and dryer that I could have had for my next glass. We shared a cheese board and a bag of the black truffle chips. We were hungry so I do wish there had been a bit more cheese or charcuterie to choose from, though the truffle chips were delicious. I purchased a few bags to take with me. My friend bought a bottle of wine that she had been enjoying to take with her. I noticed that if you buy a bottle from them and drink it there, they charge a corkage fee. There may be some regulation I don't understand, but I never pay a corkage feel when I buy wine at a restaurant or winery. For that reason, I would probably drink by the glass only when going there. All in all, we had a lovely evening there and I would definitely go back to see which wines are on their menu next time. read more

If you buy a bottle, there is a $10 corkage fee. They are super knowledgeable and friendly! 2 tables inside and seating outside on the front porch. Very cute! They have a few food items as well. Tinned fish and charcuterie, among a few other items. We got a charcuterie with 2 cheeses and two meats. It was so cute and perfect with the bottle of wine we chose.

We found this little gem of a wine shop after having out pups denied entry into a big courtyard bar establishment nearby after having lunch at a different brewery. We wanted to hang out outside and have one more beverage and wandered down the street. This place is so cute with its covered porch. It was outdoors with shade, and they have a really nice unique bottle selection as well as wines by the glass. We each ordered a glass of wine and the server was so friendly and nice. Happily explaining the different glass wines. We loved it so much, we all got a second glass to enjoy more time there. We didn't get to try any yet, but a neighboring table got a cheese plate that looked amazing. As we left we all bought a couple bottles to take home. read more

Fantastic shop I found recently in University Heights while making some time for a Yelp event...shopping local is always an adventure and this one transported me to my own country as I was able to buy some nice products to make tapas. Expensive, yes, but unique and beautifully wrapped. After all, I was getting some octopus and other seafood in sophisticated cans as part of a gift pack for my guy. I was surprised to see how many Spanish and Portuguese items they sell, also French and Italian. So it is not only a cute wine shop but the perfect gift shop for edible small items too.

I just have to say that this has to be one of my new favorite places in San Diego.. EASILY. Owned by such a cute and friendly couple from NY, Clos Wine Shop really has so much charm to it in addition to such good wine. There is a great selection of different wine bottles you can take home or enjoy there with a $10 corking fee, which is extremely worth it in my opinion. A lot of the bottles selected here are very affordable as well and start around the $15 range, which is really nice too. You can also purchase by the glass if that floats your boat! There is an outside patio right in front where you can enjoy wine and other available wine pairing foods at. Their wine pairing meals are also very well presented and delicious--I would recommend the Patagonia Paprika Mackerel as well as the Smoked Mussels. The seating arrangements are on the smaller side, so I highly recommend catching up with a friend or with a small group here. It's definitely a more intimate vibe, which I love. Also, at night, they turn on their dangling lights, which is really cute too. I honestly can't emphasize enough how great this place is. Clos Wine Shop, San Diego is very lucky to have you! :) read more

Love this cute wine shop! My friend and I were walking down the block when we spontaneously decided to come in. The owners, a lovely couple, greeted us and explained their menu. We saw two different skin-contact wines on there, and since we both never tried that before, we ordered both. Although I imagined them to be more orange-hued, I ended up liking the white one more, and my friend liked the red one, so all worked out. The only thing I wish they had was a tasting option where we can try a wider selection with smaller pours. For food, we shared a charcuterie board with 2 meats and 2 cheeses. Don't remember the names of anything, but per their recommendation, we got a spicy pork and a type of beef for the meats, and a soft (I think cows?) and a harder (sheeps?) cheese. Either way, it was a great variety. And even though I have had many charcuterie boards before, everything I've tried during my visit was new and exciting. Kudos to them for opening a fun and unique wine bar. I'll definitely be back! read more

I recently ordered 4 bottles of wine online and they made the process so easily. I chose a pick up time and it was ready and labeled for me in 2 bags at the counter. I had a very brief interaction with staff when I picked up my wine but they were very friendly and welcoming. You can also enjoy wine there during non-covid times and they have a cute little patio.

I made a reservation (just in case) because on a weekend you never know. Luckily, though, we arrived and there was plenty of available seating. My husband and I had our 10 and 5 year old with us and they easily accommodated us. It's a straightforward, but lovely menu that has a little bit for everyone. We enjoyed sharing a few plates and fresh oysters on the half shell. They do not have a kids menu, which was alright with us. Our daughter, who loves a good steak at 5 years old, enjoyed their pub steak and fries and shared a Mexican Coke with her brother. For my husband and I, we enjoyed sharing their beef tartare and to finish it off, a banana split. What we found so whimsical about Finca is their presentation. My husband and I really enjoyed exploring their menu and leaving room for a return visit soon. I couldn't recommend Finca more for anyone looking for a fun and casual dining experience with a lovely staff and unique take on traditional favorites.

Our waitress was a total superstar and took great care of us with service and answering questions. We even joked about Star Trek a bit. I ordered the Rose salad and some roasted potatoes (Bravas Rosas). The potatoes were really delicious and well-seasoned with crunchy and soft parts and a nice spicy dipping sauce. I wanted to love the salad because it was large and well-dressed, BUT the lettuce was gritty and could've used a more thorough rinse. I ended up not eating much of it because the texture wasn't good. One of my friends got the Rose Salad Pie which she really enjoyed (basically a pizza with Rose Salad on top) and my other friend got the gazpacho which really liked. I would definitely come back and try some other dishes. If I do, I'll update the review!

When I made the reservation, it was noted that there is a 1.5 hour limit on the table. Thankfully, Botanica isn't incredibly stringent about this rule as it gave us more time to eat, drink and be merry. My friend and I split the bill and I paid $87.49 with tip included. Here's what we had: Blistered shishito peppers - mild spice but flavorful New York strip yakitori - ordered two of these because they were that good! The steak was tender and the sauce rendered an umami flavor Botanika roll - tasted fine, but it ate one note. You can taste the citrusy parts but not much else. Mochi dessert - you can only get dessert if you order the pre fixe chef menu, but since our waitress didn't know this, she put the order in and gave it to us!

She was very accommodating for all yoga skill levels and kitty engagement. My partner has never done yoga before, and said he could follow her instructions with ease, whereas I, a more experienced yogi (used to practice as a kid), still found the experience engaging even if it was a bit simple for my abilities. I love how she said we could opt not to do the yoga at all and just play with kitties if we wanted! After the session was over, we had some time to play with kitties in the lounge and catio. My partner and I both ordered drinks, and Danielle and Pete made them to perfection! A kitten (Aurora or Nesta) also chose to climb into my partner's lap, which was a highlight of our visit.

Fleur De Lis School

Fleur de Lis School provided our son and our family the most incredible experience we could have…read moreever asked for. In our 2 years there, we watched our son grow immensely in his confidence, relationships, and overall love of learning. He was sad to leave school every day and excited to wake up and start the day with his amazing friends and teachers. The approach and philosophy that Fleur de Lis takes truly allows each child to blossom in their own unique and beautiful way and we not only got to experience this with our son, but saw it with his classmates as well. We saw our son make presentations to his class about a science or art project he did with us at home or proudly present his show and tell Spider-man toy to his classmates - we are so grateful to the entire Fleur de Lis community for encouraging this level of self-esteem and individuality. The staff at Fleur de Lis is truly one of a kind - the professional, yet individualized attention of Tina Smith and April Kozelh as directors is amazing. They know your child personally and do everything in their power to make your child's experience at Fleur de Lis enriching and creative. Our son still talks about Ms. Tina coming into their classroom and reading them special books (his favorite was about an owl in NYC) and Tina consistently shared specific memories of our son's social and emotional growth during his time there. The teachers we had at Fleur de Lis (Ms. Sandy, Ms. Chelsea, Ms. Amber, Ms. Kiara and Ms. Diana for Spanish) were incredible in every way - we appreciated the attention to the holistic needs of each child - the cognitive, physical, and emotional were all given attention and we saw our son blossom in each area. The day our son "graduated" Fleur de Lis School was a bittersweet one - we were thrilled to know he was ready for kindergarten, but also so sad to say goodbye to the daily moments of this special community. Our son couldn't stop hugging his amazing teacher Ms. Sandy at the singing show - clearly showing the same emotions we felt as parents.

If you are a new parent, join the FDL wait list now -- trust me, your older parent self will thank…read moreyou! It's hard to explain the magical and nurturing environment this school provides. I remember my son, Julian, sobbing when I left him on his first day as a two year old, and my heart was breaking. In less than a week, he was all smiles at drop off, excited to see his teachers and friends. Since then, he's thrived at this school, both emotionally and educationally. Now, two years later, he's heading to Francis Parker, and looking back on his time at FDL, I can't express how grateful I am to the amazing team there. There are a few specifics that make FDL special: The community -- everyone at FDL knows Julian's name, even teachers who aren't assigned to his class. Pre-Covid, when I would pick him up from his classroom, his daily departure was like a little parade, with waves and goodbyes to friends, teachers, directors, everyone. You really feel like part of a family here. Kira, Bev, April, Julie, Julia, Diana, Iris, Nina, Autumn, and many others...each has been a unique and positive impact on Julian and our family over the past two years. The safety -- speaking of Covid, I don't think I appreciated how nice it is to have total confidence in the efforts of the FDL team to keep my child safe at all costs until this pandemic. When they reopened under new safety guidelines, I never once worried they would slack or not keep the sanitation and safety bar high. In fact, Julian now inspects my hand washing and admonishes me if I have not made enough soap bubbles or washed long enough . They always ran a tight ship, but it's exceptional now. The positive reinforcement of high expectations -- on my visit prior to enrolling at FDL, I saw all the kids eating lunch as they chattered politely and consistently used manners. On the playground, no one pushed. They all took turns. What's more, they were still incredibly joyous little kids, giggling and delighting in silly play. I was in awe. And yet, now Julian models those same behaviors. FDL teachers are kind and warm, but firm. They set a high bar, and the kids rise to meet it. At the same time, there is tremendous fun had on the daily at this school. Julian greets me at pick up with a big smile and a hug, his cheeks flushed from play and sand in his shoes. He excitedly shows me his projects and tells me funny stories and things he learned from the day. FDL is exceptional. If you have the chance to send your child there, take it. You would be hard pressed to find a more loving and capable setting. We will miss it terribly!

At Lulus, I feel like we get a truly authentic Spanish immersion program for our son, knowing instruction is exclusively in Spanish. And it shows. My son 100% understands Spanish when it is spoken to him and he mixes Spanish and English in his vocabulary regularly. I credit Lulus for a large part of that bilingual ability and look forward to seeing his fluency improve in the years to come. Highly recommend Lulus!!
