This is a great local shop in Carlsbad, with two sides. Store front and tasting room. The store front has a nice selection of wines for all budgets. Its well layed out and easy to find what you are after.

The other side of the shop is a wine bar. With many by the glass choices and some fantastic beers and espresso.  Great cheese boards are available in a variety of sizes.

The feature a couple of wine clubs, where members can come in and taste as many as 18 wines and choose two. This typically happens on the second Thursday of the month and makes for a great gathering.

Live music on Thursdays and Fridays makes this a locals favorite.

The Staff is great, well informed, knowledgeable about what they have and over time know what you are looking for.

I will be there on Thursday(most of them),  so come over and track me down!
