January 05 - Odd Bins ~ Wine Carnival! ~~ Help us finish off some great wines!! Featuring Italian Wine Ambassador Petra Belliti

Do you love wine? We do!

We buy a lot (understatement) of great wines from all across Italy and all along the west coast of North America. Petra, Tommy, and I just did an inventory of our wine cellar — and we have lots of wine where we have just one or two bottles left. With just one or two bottles, we really can’t place them on our wine list – so now is the time to finish them off. And we need your help! So on this evening we will be opening many-many bottles and offering a fun, build your own wine tasting experience at bargain prices.

Here’s how it works: From 5pm to closing there will be a “walking” wine tour available in the lounge and bar area. We will have a large selection of wines available in tasting pours. Some of the pours are just $2! We also have a couple surprise “high-end” wines that we decided to include to spice things up!

You’ll have a lot of fun! If you like wine – you can’t miss this. ~~ Contact us for more details or call 619-270-9670 or just stop in! Happy 2020!
