This is a great, cozy little wine bar on heritage harbor. The selection of wine is outstanding and the prices aren't extortionate, unlike many other places nearby. The lady behind the bar was knowledgeable, friendly and unpretentious.

Vibes were immaculate, loved the wine tasting flight that gave you the option of choosing any 4 curated wines, and happy hour deal was great too!Paige introduced the wines to us patiently and was so friendly - the Chardonnay Paige recommended was absolutely amazing, and the space was full of board games and good energy. Would definitely visit again!

A nice selection of fine wine right in the heart Monterey / Portola hotel district

My second time here and it is always better the second time around. Tried the Rose from Napa, the Reisling from Monterey and the Pinot from Santa Lucia and all I recommend. The bacon sliders and Prosciutto wraps were soooo delicious. Walking distance to the Marriott, which was a bonus. Overall great wine bar and would definitely return!!

Wine tasting; 4 wines @ 20$; Albarino (white) quite good and local. Owner/mgr was very kind and stayed open 20’ more on a bank holiday (labor day) for us to enjoy a wine tasting and some extra glasses. Recommended 5/5!

Enjoyed their Cabernet Sauvignon, but wish it was more lively or had some jazz playing or something.

Came in on a slow night and the bartender Paige is the coolest. Very knowledgeable about all the wines and didn't beat around the bush about what her actual favorites were. She even played Dominoes with us!Would absolutely come back again!

Just moved to Monterey and met the owner at another local spot. She was very down to earth and welcomed us to join in pumpkin carving the next day. The wine selection was great and the conversation with other customers inside made it feel like home. Will definitely be going back!
This is one of our favorite places to go in Monterey. Claire always is rotating in new local wines and beers; the menu is always changing and never disappointing! Trivia nights are a ton of fun as are the paint nights with Bunny! Come in when you're down to hang out, slow down, sit by the fire pit and enjoy yourself!

Brilliant wine bar. Various choices of great wines. I loved it very much
Lala Lassiter
Had the most lovely time. Wine flight and cheese plate were amazing. Proud of myself for finishing cornichones and the green olives because I prefer sweet than salty.

Love the fire pits outside. Very inviting and welcoming. Excellent staff with personable service. A plus they serve beer and wine!

This was the worst wine tasting experience I've ever had And I live in Napa. The waitress was not engaging. She had very little, if anything to say. No explanation on the wines we were tasting at all. We also got a cheese plate that was supposed to come with honey. I had to get up and go to the bar and interrupt her as she was engaged with texting on her phone to ask why was there no honey but mustard in its place. She said they were out of honey. Really - mustard? We ended up going down the street to Comanche Cellars that was an awesome experience like it should be.
