Such a cute wine bar next to MAMA that offers a bunch of different options. The service was great and took the time to explain the wines to us so that we could decide on the best fit. I tried the Thanksgiving flight ($26) and enjoyed all of them. This was my first time having a Beaujolais wine, which is similar to a Pinot noir, and it was probably my favorite one! I would definitely come here again to try more wines and catch up with a friend at the bar.

Perfectly located close to Lake Merritt, this simple and bright wine shop offers a range of wines for any palate, and makes a point to explore unique grapes and curate wines you likely won't find elsewhere. The staff is kind and knowledgeable, and if you're lucky, Ea's dog will be assisting you in selecting your wine! They offer bar seating, small tables, and a large community table - perfect options for catching up with friends, a cozy date, or a group get together. Highly recommend going on Sundays for their "blind flight" where you get tools and information to try to guess which wines you're sipping. Great to learn and explore for novice and expert wine tasters alike. And bonus: after 5pm when you've got a nice wine buzz you can order a meatball sub from nearby Mama.

So the service here is the best. The nicest people. So knowledgeable about wine. My cousin and I just wanted to go and sip and talk and our experience here made a really good memory for us. We had the wine flight and tried wines we would have never considered. We got some salami and cheese and crackers and did a little pairing. It was fun. Then we got a bottle to share from Lebanon. Our wine-tender told us about the uniqueness of Lebanese wines. It was good. Really good. There are lots of wines for sale and they have beer too. You know you're having a great time when you forget to take photos. So I'm just gonna have to go back. And I can't wait! Keep in mind it seems to be a popular spot and getting seating my be a bit tricky. I highly recommend. Enjoy!

Fizzy Fridays! This has become my favorite place start my Friday nights out in Oakland. Everyone is super helpful, the atmosphere is chill and there is a massive list to choose from. They have tastings that are often changing. I think the cheapest is $15-22. The sparkling wines/champagnes changes weekly. So there's a chance to try all kinds of great ones. They also have snacks and things that you can make a little charcuterie with. A little date idea: wines, cheese, picnic blanket and walk o we to the park. Lovely times.

Such a cute wine shop near Lake Merritt! I absolutely love how the setup is with the open space layout, racks of wine bottles displayed, a bar area with various seating arrangements from small to large parties. This place is dog friendly, so make sure to not forget your pups at home! Wei is such a sweetheart and a great asset to this wine shop! He always provides the best service and welcomes us in. I love the variety of imported wine they have and when I spotted their New Zealand wine, I had to give it a try. Definitely a must stop if you're in the area!
