From Kim L. of Stella & Dot (email 4/17/13)

Just stopped by today and Matt helped me choose 6 bottles for a party tomorrow evening. Just wanted to say thank you for being so helpful, friendly, and most importantly, not snooty as some other places can be! 

 

From J.X (Yelp 4/6/13)

This store trumps BevMo hands down in terms of service and selection. I love that I can always find a delicious wine in my budget, and that folks here are always so helpful and friendly. It also has a lovely selection of Sangiovese, which is so hard to find.

 

From Vanessa Z. (Yelp 4/4/13)

I absolutely love this wine shop.  They have everything you could ever hope for in wine and it's organized in a helpful way.  I'm pretty indecisive when it comes to choosing wine so I'll usually browse the entire store when the owner will step in and offer his help.  I'm always grateful because he makes the best recommendations based on my budget! Luckily for me it's located around the corner for my office so I frequently stop by on my way home and grab some delicious zinfandel or syrah for dinner.

 

From Patty W. (Facebook)

Great place for all my San Diego locals. If you don't already frequent this place, you need to check it out. :) Awesome selection and great prices. Hard to find small winery wines and super knowledgable staff! What more can I say. (I never endorse places on FB so this means a lot coming from me).

 

From Jason G. (Yelp 1/26/13) Hands down best store in San Diego.  It's the best because of the helpful staff and prices.  I used to go to the place down the street, but they always treated me like a leper.  Check this place out ASAP.

 

I think this store is easily the only stop anyone has to make for one's wine needs. Everyone there is helpful and the prices can't be beat. They manage to stock a huge of supply of well known favorites and rotate new wines through as well -- so every shopping experience is never the same. If we need a nicer bottle for a fancy dinner party -- they got that. If we need something for a summer BBQ party -- they got one for that. And if we just need something for an end of the day unwind in the backyard -- they've got one for that too. And I don't have to guess which bottle I should buy -- all I have to do is ask and they're more than happy to help. You gotta go visit this store!

 

From Cathleen F. (Yelp 9/12) 

Hands down the best place to buy wine at discounted prices.  Thoughtful selection.  A staff that's eager to help. And wine tastings on Saturdays too, approximately 10 wines for $10. My go-to place for special occasion as well as every day wines for at least a decade.  Don't be disappointed if you find "a find" and it's not there next time. Wines are priced to move, so inventory changes.

From Steve W. (Yelp 5/12) Good selection, very good prices, good service. They list their wines on their website so you can shop before you go if you have particular wine in mind, or you can simply browse in person. If you need some help in picking wine they are helpful. I have been shopping here for more than 8 years and buy the majority of my wine here.

 

From Tom S (email 5/29/12)

I went through a stage 20 years ago or so when I knew all the producers, vintages, regions, grapes and blends, and was willing to bore any and all at length with the fruits of my enthusiasm. I got over all that years ago, and now pretty much just want to drink well, and inexpensively. That can't happen, I had come to understand, by reading Wine Spectator. You need a good merchant to do the indispensable work of factoring the wine world down to a manageable list, tasted and reviewed. This note is to thank you for the good work you do each month finding and providing for sale at a good price so many interesting wines. This past few months in particular, in my opinion (and the reason for my writing today), has been exceptional for under $10 reds. Recently, the new Cachflo, Alamos, 2Up, Cousino Macul, and a few months back, the Derby Petite Sirah and Zolo Bonarda,(and a few others I have yet to taste, or can't recall) have been not only excellent values, but very good and interesting wines, the type you look forward to drinking and serving your friends, not just glad you paid less for. Thanks again, Tom

From Kathy F. (Facebook 3/12) Our favorite place. Everyone is so nice and very helpful.

 

From Monique (Facebook 2012) Best prices in town. Family owned. Check them out.

 

From Lynn-Email March 31, 2012- You guys are the best. We served Black Barts Jamabalya, a vegetable rissoto and an awesome salad and your wine choices were fabulous...does anyone on the planet doubt your expertise and values? Tongiht we had halibut with a thinly sliced potato on top and it sat on a ragout of peppers and onion under it with the Clos Du BOis Red Blend. Perfect. you guys are awesome..thank you for all you do!

 

From Erik G.-San Diego (Yelp 2/12) Privately owned wine store that has the best customer service in it's class.   Matt, Kevin, Mark  and all the rest of staff are always super friendly and willing to assist in helping you pick out a bottle -  they'll even carry out your bottles/purchase to your car!  The best thing about this place is that all (or a majority) of the people who work here have tried every single wine that they sell.  This speaks volumes to their commitment to quality and what they represent.   At any time, you can ask them how this or that wine is and they will give you an honest opinion and recommendation.  You can't get that at a large publicly owned retail wine store.  You will also find that along the walls of the store are hand written colorful posters of some of their featured wines and recommendations.  These can range from quotes from the industry wine reviews (Robert Parker, Wine Spectator, etc.), or their own recommendations (i.e.  Matt's pick, or Mark's Pick...etc.).  I've never been disappointed when choosing a bottle in this manner. Matt (owner) has created a fantastic place for wine lovers to go to for variety and quality.  This is my go to place for stocking up on my wine.  
Nothing less than 5 stars.

 

From Dani-(email 2/2012) I just wanted to say I received my case of wine.This is my first order with your company, but not my last. I found your prices to be very good and your communication excellent.I love Cakebread wine but usually would not buy a case but with your prices, I couldn't pass it up. I look forward to doing business with you in the future.

 

From Mike C.-San Diego (Yelp 2/2012) Now this place has some pretty good wine and you don't have to shell out several hundred dollars for a decent one. They have many 90+ point wines for around $10. Plenty of staff working the floor and they give you their expert advice right away...

 

From Maureen C. San Diego (Yelp 1/2012) SD Wine Co is seriously fantastic for a wine-shopping trip. Mark is incredibly helpful with recommendations and  knowing if and when a specific label will be making into his store.  Very reasonable prices; the best I have found in San Diego...

 

From Julie-(email January 2011) I want to say that I am not a wine drinker myself.  However, going to the San Diego Wine Company and having them help me pick out a bottle of wine for our event was great.  Even for those people who don't drink wine (me being among them) the San Diego Wine Company makes it a stress-free purchase for our school.

 

From Lindsay-San Diego (Yelp 11/21/10) Love, love, love this place! There is no better place in San Diego to find great wine at great prices.  The staff is extremely friendly and they know their stuff!  I can go in there at any time, tell them what I've bought in the past and they recommend wines for me that are in stock. They provide wonderful customer service and I have NEVER had a bad wine from them!

 

From Kate the SD Wine Company #1 Fan: "Just so you know you and your staff are my personal heroes. You stock an outstanding Bandol when you can get it. And for that, my friends and I are extremely loyal customers. As a matter of fact, I will be getting two to three cases from your fine establishment this weekend for a large family event next week. Your service and team are fantastic. SD Wine Co is a local gem!"

 

From www.erobertparker.com ,one of the most popular and respected web sites for wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs: "San Diego Wine Company is tough to beat for prices..." "Matt and Mark give great customer service", "I, too, will echo the superlatives at the San Diego Wine Co..." 

From www.Yahoo.com (Travel), Mary Woods from San Diego says: "...every time I come home with a suggestion from one of the (SDWCO) staff, my eyes glaze over in bliss..." Jeff from San Diego says: "One of the best locations in San Diego for buying wines at good values."
