Do you realized Christmas is ONLY 18 days away ? Yep, we are in the deep trenches of the Christmas season.

We have been shopping hard for the past several months trying to secure great wines in many prices ranges which will make very nice presents, or for your entertaining & personal enjoyment. We have a good selection of local wines along with wines from Napa, Sonoma, the Central Coast, Paso Robles, the Sierra Foothills along select imported wines.
