How we score

The editorial take

This is a wine-first operation, and the list reflects it: an extensive international selection drawn from the most famous growing regions, described as ever-evolving and billed on its wine list page as award winning. The daily wine happy hour is the practical draw, offering a 12oz carafe for the price of a large glass. It sits within Wine World's Coastal Restaurant Group alongside The Craft Bar and Beach Camp Brewpub. Guests consistently praise the selection and quality, with some calling it among the best wine lists on the coast.

What should I order?: Go for the daily wine happy hour and take the 12oz carafe, which is priced at the same rate as a large glass. The list runs across the most famous growing regions in the world, so the carafe format lets you work through the international selection by the glass rather than committing to a bottle.
Who will enjoy this place?: Wine drinkers who want an extensive international list and a daily happy hour built around a 12oz carafe. It suits anyone comparing wines across famous growing regions rather than chasing a single house pour.
When should I go?: The daily wine happy hour is the clear window, since that is when the 12oz carafe is priced as a large glass. Outside that window, the list itself is the reason to come.
What should I expect to spend?: The daily wine happy hour is the value anchor: a 12oz carafe costs the same as a large glass. The broader list spans famous growing regions internationally, so expect bottle pricing to track that range.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: The venue is part of Wine World's Coastal Restaurant Group, alongside The Craft Bar and Beach Camp Brewpub, and its wine list page is titled 'Our Award Winning Wine List.' The daily happy hour carafe is priced at the rate of a large glass.
