Wine Steals in San Diego

I just got back from Wine Steals in San Diego, and have to say the name says it all.  Almost all of the wine available there is a steal.  Happy hour is from 11AM to 6PM M-F…. and afterwards glasses are $4.  To compliment the wine are cheese plates, which range from Cheese and Fruits to Cheese and Meats to the Everything platter..  All totally for a steal.  I don’t know how they stay in business as the food is great and the wine is cheap…. how are they making any $$$$?  Anyhow the pizza is AWESOME…. we had the Chardonnay Pizza, which was apples, pulled pork, red onions, and cheese…   The Pinot Noir Pizza looked delicious as well.  I made the mistake of filling up on the cheese and fruits…  

The bar is located on an old Marine Base that has recently been converted into private property.  The bar overlooks a golf course and is at the end of the SD Airport Runway, (which if you are seated outside, can interrupt a conversation every 6-8 minutes).  Either way the whole feel of the place is cool.  All the tables are old wine barrels, and the front of the establishment is a wine store so you can pick out your bottle, and to consume it in house is only a $5 corkage.  So for most wines it makes more sense to buy the bottle then to purchase 2 glasses.  (Just make sure getting home is not a problem for you)   

Only downside is it gets a bit busy and you might have to wait for a “bartenders” attention…  but they do walk around, so if you are standing in a random place, they will come up to you eventually.  

All in all a great place.  I just wish it was closer to home then it is (80 miles) for me.
