There is a sign out front stating you have to wear a mask to enter, so I did, of course. Another customer came in and he was wearing a mask. The gentleman working behind the security glass counter had a mask on. A woman came in and she was NOT wearing a mask. The selection of alcohol and beer was impressive. But the store itself was messy and appeared as if it had been ramshackled by people searching for drinks. Despite this, if you are in the area and need a beverage of any kind in the alcohol department, you should find it it here. They sell wine, beer, hard liquor galore, candy, snacks, and ugh, cigarettes. It is a classic liquor store full of booze. LOL, Cheers and happy drinking.

I've been drinking the beers from Alvarado for years without ever visiting any of their locations…read more(had beers at shares, bought them from stores, and even special ordered and had them shipped to me). A couple of friends and me took the opportunity to stop by on our drive back to LA from the Bay Area (along the 101). First impression: one of those convivial breweries with a thriving locals aspect and vibe. Friends I was with are really into craft beer, so we felt right at home. The folks here were super friendly and welcoming. As a matter of fact, there were some cookies made from another regular that was offered to us while we were there. And those cookies were delish. They have a good variety of styles on draft, but I opted for the BA Barleywine, which was excellent. They also had the football games playing on the TV there so there was that sports bar aspect without being to crowded/ crazy. This place is located in an industrial area of Salinas. We didn't have a problem at all finding parking. Love their beers and love this spot. I would definitely hit it up more if I was able.

Fantastic!!! All.The.Way.Around. We pulled in Thursday…read moreafternoon around 1:20pm.... We left around 3:30pm... only because we had to go check in to our hotel and make a dinner reservation. Otherwise, we'd probably still be there gabbing and drinking with Danielle and whoever walked up to get their wines. Danielle was a lovely gal who made our tasting engaging and fun. We talked wine, food, weather, birds, vineyards... And then we even got to meet and speak with Denis (the owner/winemaker). Such a great guy! Talking to him is like talking to a long time friend where you can talk about everything you like and don't like and everything in between. Right now.... He makes 32 different wines! Naturally we joined the wine club. Not just because we enjoyed the wine but because we loved the people. We also bought a bottle of wine to take with us to have at dinner where we let our server have a bit and told him he needed to go check out Odonata. (I couldn't believe he'd not been yet!) We're telling everyone about Odonata... Talk about a "hidden in plain sight GEM". Tips: You can bring your own snacks. They have a few snacks to buy too.

Took a bite of the maple bar and a sip of the boba and it left an awful taste . Not sure why but I did a repeat and the combination wasn't good..that unpleasant taste lingered in my mouth for a few hours. Service was good, although you need to speak a little louder so they can understand you behind those counters. Overall they were nice & friendly people and the sitting area was bright and spacious. We will give them another try in a few weeks to try their other products..hopefully next time around it will be a sweeter experience.

Nice folks + solid wine + no crowds = good tasting room experience…read more The wines were generally solid, though none stood out as particular "must haves." It seems like they were going for more delicate flavors in general, which may suit some people more than others. The estate-grown Pinot had an interesting spicy note and the Chardonnay was crisp and flavorful. The Cuvée Louie was a nice Bordeaux-style blend as well. We had the tasting room to ourselves and thus were able to learn a lot about the wines and the vineyard by chatting with the folks there. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Tasting was $20 a person, so prices seem to have gone up since previous Yelp reviews. Worth a stop though, especially if you're already driving down River Rd. between some of the other wineries.

Finding a winery still open at 6 PM, later than most wineries in the area, Mr. B was testing me…read more When I am already crotchety from sugar lows, he has a ticking time bomb on his hands. And he, on the other hand, god forbid he miss a winery on our trip south down the 101. But Manzoni turns out to have been a good stop. The valley and wine trail (aptly named River Road Wine Trail) that parallels a lazy river, offers a beautiful view of the rich agriculture in the area. The east facing vineyards overshadowed by golden Central California hills/mountains, fall colors, rich soil, framed by a peaceful farming community makes it unique and special. The tasting room is unimpressive. The server, friendly. The wine, the 09 syrah, was lovely. There were other wines that did not impress, but they also offered a port that was smooth and went down easily. The syrah came home with us at $28 a bottle. And the only reason we passed on the port was because we already have too much good port stored at home. And in nearby Gonzales, Mr. B took care that his non-wine drinking wife got some excellent sustenance. So all was well with the world again.
