    I've been enjoying Gianni Buonomo's wines for about 7 years now. I loved their tasting room OB. It…read morewas so cute and back-in-the-day, it was super fun to go to the OB Street Fair on Wednesday to pick up some food and then enJoy it with a glass of wine or two in the tasting room with other lively patrons. Brigitte was a very nice member of the business back then, and either Al or Keith was usually on hand to chat about the wines and other things in a friendly manner. My favorite wine was their version of Viognier & M's favorite is the Symphony. (Neither one of us is big drinker.) Last year, they moved to new location on Pickett Street. It feels smaller and more cramped than their previous space but it is decorated nicely and has a small dedicated parking lot. It is also in a very industrial area, and a bit out of the way. For me, it's not super conducive to hanging out. I can understand the reasons for moving, but it definitely impacted the ambiance, imo. Today, we picked up a bottle of Symphony from Al to take home. There were a few patrons inside enjoying their wine on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Gianni Buonomo is a special and unexpected winery that is definitely worth experiencing. Their wines have won multiple awards and Keith & Al are super knowledgeable and amicable.

On a Thursday afternoon, there were a couple of other winery members picking up and tasting wines when we got there. We did a red wine flight and tried a varietal we have never had before (Lagrein) of two different years. They source the grapes from Washington State and California (Sierra foothills and Amador county). All of the wines we've had was very enjoyable. You can taste the care and thoughtfulness that goes into their wine making process. Very chill atmosphere and conducive to an enjoyable taste experience. There's a nice parking area for tasters right in front of the wine shop.

    Love this place for their massive outdoor area and their quaint indoor bar. I've been here a few…read moretimes and even hosted a small event of 20 people before. This time around, it was just the 3 of us, to chat over some wine and apps. Had their April featured Pinot, which was amazing (had 2 glasses). It's good to keep in mind that they only sell their flatbreads on certain days and unfortunately, they didn't serve it when we went. So, instead we had the crostinis, which is perfect if you want a little bit of everything, but not sure what to get. My friend got the chicken Caesar wrap, and it was a lot bigger than expected. As far as the ambience, there's seating all around the bar that's located in the middle. So it's convenient to just walk up to the bar to place your order. Servers and bartenders were friendly and quick. Overall this is a great laid-back place for small or large groups.

    I wanted to update my review, as I have been back several times through the years. Since my…read moreinitial review, there have been several changes.... some better than others. First, I still really enjoy the Carruth Wine Garden. It is nice to have an outdoor space to drink wine right in the center of the city. In general there plenty of parking ,and it is dog friendly. As far as the wine, it is very good. I like some more than others. More recently, I have enjoyed the Unicorn Red Blend ( a longtime favorite) and the Syrah. I love that it is dog friendly, inside and out. My dog loves going there and she makes friends each time. A change that they made recently is that the main garden area is now child-free, which was a positive change in my options, as it had gotten a bit chaotic in the past with children not being very well supervised. The still have a family-friendly outdoor space. In the past, there was always live music when I came. I was there most recently on a Saturday evening and was disappointed that there was no music. Also, the prices have gone up ($18 per glass). Unfortunately, I found the pours to be somewhat inadequate, though it depended which staff member was pouring the wine. They do not allow for outside food, and only make certain dishes certain days of the week, which unfortunately doesn't allow for many options if you are hungry. Water is readily available inside and outside. All in all, it is a lovely place with good wine to come with friends and your 4-legged friends. It has gotten a bit pricey, and I do wish we could bring out own snacks, but I still enjoy going and am sure that I will be back.

Other San Diego wine clubs focus on things like Spanish and French wines, fancy bubbly wines, Santa Barbara or Santa Rita.... This is truly San Diego. Oddish also has some of the craziest wines I've ever seen. For example, they had one called the hybrid that mixed wine, Mead, and cider. If you're looking to have fun and try a wine that is not full of itself but instead full of character, this is what you want. Also, I have a lot of friends who say that drinking wine makes them feel sick and that they never feel sick when they drink Oddish wines. Must be the way that they produce it and just how natural it really is. It's inside of a space called The Garten which is also such a must-see spot. They have Mead, beer, and a pizza truck? Pizza, outdoor oven type thing haha. And a stage that sometimes has live music. You order your drinks, sit on picnic tables with others, and enjoy the beautiful San Diego Sunshine

I went with the flight, which included six different meads. Honestly, every single one was phenomenal. My favorites were the Lava Flow and Strike the Sun, but all of the selections were flavorful, unique, and well-crafted. The employee helping me was incredibly kind and provided excellent recommendations. The service was friendly, welcoming, and added to the overall experience. If you're a mead fan, or even if you're new to it, this is a fantastic place to visit. The quality of the mead is outstanding, the atmosphere is great. I'll definitely be back.

The outdoor space is amazing, but it was also nice to be inside. The flight was the way to go! Our fav was the strawberry one. We also got a glass of the spicy limoncello (forgot the exact name). If you like limoncello and you like spice, then you'll like. For me, I am not a huge fan of limoncello, so it wasn't a good starting spot for me. We did buy some bottle and can to go. Bottles last like wine and are bottled to age, so no problem not opening immediately (per the bartender), meanwhile the can should be drank quicker.

I 1000% recommend Baja Winery Tours we're already planning our next one!

Tour runs after we get a total of 6 signups. However what I was referring to was the email I received which stated " You're reservation for Public Taste of Baja Tour on Saturday, July 1, 2023 for 2 tickets has been cancelled. If you have any questions feel free to call 619-535-9994 or email bookings@bajawinerytours.com." Before assuming your customers are not reading the information on your business site, make sure you take the time to ask questions to understand exactly what they are referring to. The condescending annotation in your reply is another reason why I would never go on this tour. Edit: you could have said what you updated your message with in the beginning rather than making it seem as if your customers did not read the information that was given on your site. All explanations would have been cleared up then, however you wanted to come and try to reiterate the message as if their was a lack of clarity.

This restaurant came highly recommended by major Visit San Diego websites, and we felt we should give it a try. Located right next to the water, the restaurant offers expansive view of the harbor and the San Diego skyline. Sitting is about 50/50 indoor vs. outdoor, and we chose the indoor sitting as it tended to get colder in the evening. Parking is available out front, but we took Lyft there. We came in around Happy Hour, and we were able to score two appetizers for $11 each. We got fried calamari and fish cervice as appetizers. For entree, we had the fish tacos and scallops. Both of the appetizers were excellent, and the cervice was so light and flavorful. My husband loved his scallop entree, and the taste and presentation were original and outstanding. My fish taco was enjoyable as well. For dessert, we had fresh churro that was paired with ice cream, which was excellent as well. Our meal came to $143 with taxes, which was a very good value with the quality and services offered. Our waiter was attentive and friendly, which made us felt right at home. As for the ambiance, it felt modern and relaxed. There were diverse customers from locals, tourists, and business people. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and we will return.

The main courses we ordered we not what our taste buds were looking for. The flan ( Yes, the flan ) was the best flan I have ever consumed. As dense as a cheese cake and coconut flavors of the islands. We lookd forward to giving the place another go because of the Service, the Atmosphere, and the guacamole. We hear happy hour on a week day is the best time to indulge.
