This is not a wine shop it's a local hole selling bottles of wine. My husband's and I stopped here…read moreyesterday for a glass of wine before dinner. I was underwhelmed by their "by the glass" menu and settled on an Orange wine and my husband got a Sauvignon Blanc. We sat in the green velvet couches that felt like sitting in someone's basement. My husband took one sip of his wine and it was terrible, I took a sip and it smelled like it was turning. He went back to get a different glass and the owner reluctantly poured him a Rose. We sat and had two glasses each, about $60. When I went to pay, the owner said that she wanted to be "transparent" and was still charging me for half of the awful first glass we took back. I told her I tasted it and it was terrible. She was extremely rude about it. If you were being "transparent" you would have told me that before pouring another glass. So she charged me $6-7 when I would have tipped $10-12 on the tab and I'll never go back there again. That's just someone that doesn't know how to run a business. Don't go here, like the other reviews stated, it's really just for locals. I overheard the owner saying to someone she got a case of some wine cheap because the labels were misprinted. So they are running a cheap wine shop. If you go here, make sure you taste anything before you buy or you will be charged even if the wine has turned. Although, I wanted to taste the reisling and the owner told me the bottle wasn't opened yet and it was super sweet, she wouldn't let me taste it. Like she was assuming I wouldnt like it. This isn't a wine shop, more like a liquor store.

If you're looking for a gift for someone, this is a good place to try. Buy them something that they've never heard of before.

I let him know that no big deal he could just give me the price. He told me they were. The price that it was on the shelf. This was only five dollars and not a big deal according to the amount of money I was going to spend and would continue to spend at the store however he got rude and started talking down to me. He was unprofessional and demeaning. He told me that he could either sell me for the regular price or not to sell me at all. I let him know that I would buy it for the price, but it was bad business and then he just outright refused to do business with me at all. This guy didn't just miss a sale. He missed a long time Customer and all of the people I would've referred. I actually went in with a friend, a guy that would normally go there a lot and now neither one of us will ever go again. It was embarrassingly, bad Customer Service horrible experience and I recommend you take your business elsewhere. The selection might be good but the service and the management absolutely sucks. This guy needs to go back to school and figure out how to treat other people. He was lacking, emotional intelligence and overall business acumen! I'm embarrassed for this company! Don't give them your business!

It is an older store but it seemed fine. My check out person was ok. The parking lot is large and services several other businesses like Burger King, a bank, and Taste Cafe.

And good luck getting someone to show you where something is, not. I used to think that the store was maybe a 3+ but I live closer to Half Moon Bay Safeway but I nearly always go to Pacifica where that lcoation is 100X better. They are the only game in town often unless you want to pay the higher prices across the street at New Leaf. Overall pretty poor, I didn't give 1 star but as pointed out there are homeless around so lock up your car and for god sake don't give money to anyone as I have tried to give groceries and they pretty much told me to go get lost (or words I cannot use on Yelp).

Another poster mentioned Gerald's knowledge, so I called him. I explained my purpose, i.e., to send a memorable bottle of champagne to thank a friend who had referred some business to me. I gave him a $200 budget, and off the top of his head he made five recommendations, one of which I chose because of the interesting back story behind the wine/vintner. That night, I got an email from my friend, thanking me for the wine and raving about the impressive service. The wine was nicely gift-wrapped, and included included a card with the story I'd found so interesting about the wine. My only regret is that we don't have anything like this where I live in Mexico.
