What a gem! The informed and adventurous wine shop team, cute tucked away bar, and solid wine club have had me on board for the last three years. Solano Cellars is great!

Moved here from New Orleans and have had a hard time finding a local cali beer to match my favorite from home. I told her what it was and she absolutely nailed it with her recommendation. This beer makes me feel like I'm home again. Thank you!

Great wine selection and knowledgeable staff to help find the wine to go with whatever you are having for dinner.
