“My wife and me are regular guests there. Wine selection is good, food selection is minimalistic, but those pinsas are a masterpiece! Atmosphere is cosy, good place to get a glass or two after work.”

“I went before a Stevie Nick's concert at Golden one for my birthday. I had the best experience. The drinks and food was amazing. Each time I have gone I had great customer service.”

“Visiting from out of town and was looking for a quaint place to meet a few friends. Adorable and comfortable patio. Super dog friendly and attentive staff. The beer menu is hard to read (it’s on a chalkboard) and you can’t see it from your table. Wanted to go back a second time before I left, but they are closed half the week! They have happy hour for teachers on Thursday.”

“I love this sexy wine bar! My girlfriends and I met for lunch right when they opened today. We chose to sit on their couches instead of the wine barrel tables. I wanted to relax and put my feet up. They also have seating outside for you sun goddesses. We decided to order a little of everything. They're small plates (2-4 items). We had the juicy mouth watering soft tacos. Those by far were my favorite! We also ordered the garlic bread. It had a special mixture of mayo and parmesan cheese. I'm not a big mayo fan! We ended with balsamic cherry tomatoes on slices of sourdough bread. Those were also tasty! I had the Frank Family Zinfandel. Frank Family is one of my favorites. Their Zin is easy on the stomach! They carry mostly local brands. There's a lot of grape growers in Oakley, Brentwood and Lodi. Rest decor The unisex bathroom is unique. I like the decor. I even took some pictures. Overall, it's a cozy wine bar with a great ambiance. I definitely recommend!”

“Came here with my friend because we wanted to have some "Girl's Time". I found this wine bar via Google and it seemed nice to want to visit. We loved that they have a inside and outside space w/fire pits and some heaters mounted. The couches inside and out definitely give it a rather cozy feeling. They even have cute blankets that you can use. They had a live dj who was amazing with his spinning of the right tunes. I enjoyed the music alot. He played a variety. The waitress seemed pleasant when she greeted us. We ordered the charcuterie board and the pepperoni pizza. I requested the ricotta to be placed on the side and the request was met. I asked the waitress alot of questions and she was able to answer them. I did not enjoy the board because I do not like pepper jam (I did ask for another jam, but she said this is all they had. This is unfortunate because what if someone does not like peppers? One of the meats provided I did not enjoy (I enjoyed the salami) and I did not like one of the cheese as well.. it was a little spicy. Also, the utensil that they gave us to use to spread with was not very great for spreading. The pizza was tasty..no complaints there. I even added the ricotta to it and it was good. I had a glass of Petite Sirah and a glass of Cab. My friend had the Coco Loco Marg and the Gingerbread drink. All drinks ordered were delicious... we both agreed. Although, there were many pros..I do have some cons: 1. I ordered a Hot Toddy that was nowhere near hot. The waitress told me that they boil the water and the water "Is what it is" that comes from the boiler. I did not like that response at all. 2. We were served our food with no plates or silverware. However, the waitress brought plates upon request. 3. The food was served with 1 spoon like item. However, we had multiple things that we should have received small forks instead of having to use or fingers for everything. 4. I requested a Strawberry long Island iced tea. The waitress immediately tells me that they do not have the items to make it. I asked her why not..because it is really merely (alcohol/strawberry puree /Triple Sec/cola or sprite). She tells me that she tried to make it and it was not good. I requested that she go and ago the bartender at the bar currently and she gave another excuse of why it could not be done. Then she said.. she would go ask the bartender. My friend and I were puzzled because all items were there for the drink. When she came back, she told me that he could do it. However, I had changed my mind by that point and I requested for Strawberry Hennessy. She told me that they had Strawberry puree and I told her that would be fine. She asked me if I wanted ice. At this point, it made me hesitant to get it because it sounded like they did not know how to make it. She went back to the bartender and my friend noticed that the bartender was looking it up. The waitress came back and told me that they did not have triple sec, but they had another substitute. At that point, I just asked for a Cab. Overall, we loved the atmosphere. Idk if we will visit anytime soon though. Also, please know..I do get that this is a wine bar. However, bartenders hired should know how to make an assortment of drinks especially if you have majority alcohol stocked. Lastly, the water shouod be served hot if it is a hot drink. There should not be a smart comment given when questioned about why the level of heat is not adequate.”
