I was born to drink wine. Okay not really, but I did study abroad in Paris and then moved to SF, so I have had some good quality time learning to drink wine. While I may have started off on the $2 buck stuff, I know how an annoyingly picky palate. (What a snob, right?) The one thing I will say that SoCal cannot do is produce great wines. Fight me if you want.
I have been trying to include more events on this page for you to try out, and for myself to attend. One such event I attended was a Paso Robles wine tasting at the
OC Wine Mart. I was hesitant about a Paso Robles wine tasting, but I was pleasantly surprised. The OC Wine Mart is a cute little market/tasting room with all kinds of wines, champagnes, and craft beer.

The owner holds
tasting events every few weeks for about $25/person. On our tasting day, it included 7 tastings and some small appetizers. This place can also be really fun on your own. OC Wine Mart gives you the option to buy a card for a certain amount of money (think Dave & Busters) and then choose the wine pours yourself. You just need to insert your card, and the wines (on tap) will pour themselves. The only downfall is a machine is MUCH more accurate than a human hand, so you can't flirt your way into a bigger pour. Sorry ladies...

4/5 great wine selection and fun tastings, but I really really like to talk my way into a bigger taste
