This wine shop will shock and delight with its unpretentious vibe, $1 tastings, and wide selection of under $20 wines. The staff is extremely knowledgable here and can help you find the wine that strikes your mood. They seem to get killer deals on wine and have introduced me to many of my now favorites--I have seen wines here $1-3 dollars cheaper per bottle than other specialty wine shops. I seriously do not know how they get away with their $1 tastings (Saturdays 2-5pm), during which youre bound to fall for at least one of the offerings. Something about the warehouse-y look makes me feel less overwhelmed here, and the staff tends to come to my rescue when I do. Limited bike parking available outside and a small lot shared with Mariposa Baking (obviously make this a two birds stop) and others in the complex. Pay attention when youre coming down Telegraph since Ive missed the driveway while blinking.

we had a small party/wine-tasting event here. the owners/managers were great, the wine was diverse, tasty, and relatively inexpensive. its definitely a "wine bargain" type of store (most of the selections are less than $30 and many are less than $20). but good quality. some recognizable brands and lots of less known "discoveries." thumbs up.

I love this place! The $1 tasting on Saturday is a great way to learn about wine from around the world. David and Elizabeth have an outstanding understanding of wine, and the shops inventory. Stop by and get on the email list for future tastings. See you there!

What a find! good prices and unbelievable selection! I am going again this week. The owner knows his wines, and in the wine mine you can spend a little or a lot and get good wines.

Best local wine store Ive found. Reasonable prices and great advice. All the knowledge, none of the snobbery. And a place for the kids to play while you choose your wines.

Once you find this gem, you will be a regular customer. The $1 Saturday tastings are more like a party for long-lost strangers than a shopping trip.
