Our customers have spoken. The following are actual testimonials
published on prominent and respected Internet Websites:
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 teh 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!"
