PARKING ~ FREE & PAID
Valet parking is available for $8.00. The drop-off point is two doors south of our entrance in front of Shakespeare Pub at the corner of India and Winder. Also, on-street parking is usually available within a 3-block radius. Remember that it’s OK to park in yellow commercial zones after 6:00 and that meters are also free after 6:00. You can also park in the lot behind Shakespeare Pub two doors down, but do not park in El Indio's lot unless you want your car towed! If you can’t find parking next to the restaurant, there’s always LOTS OF PARKING on San Diego Avenue and the adjacent side streets just past the Chevron station across Washington Street. So please don't drive yourself crazy endlessly going around in circles waiting to pounce on that perfect spot when there's TONS OF PARKING less than three blocks away!
WINE NOTES & BOTTLE PRICES
Bloody Mediterranean
Wine Vault & Bistro's legendary version of a Bloody Mary with a Mediterranean twist. Made with 17 secret ingredients months in advance to allow the flavors to seamlessly meld.
2017 Las Nubes “Jaak” Rosé ~ $18
(Valle de Guadalupe) Winemaker's Notes: 40% Grenache, 40% Carignan + 20% Zinfandel. Intense nose of good expression, open aroma in fruit character, clean and elegant, notes of pineapple, apple, pear, light floral touches and great balance, equilibrium and harmony are presented. Wine of medium high intensity taste, dry, pleasant and balanced acidity, long-standing fresh wine, good body and fruity aftertaste confirming its aromatic aspect and elegant expression. Pair with all types of shell products such as clams, oysters, lobster and shrimp.
2016 Frog's Leap Zinfandel ~ $26
(Napa Valley) Winemaker's Notes: A Zinfandel that draws its power from sophistication instead of raw alcohol content. Made in the classic field blend style including significant portions of Petite Sirah and Carignane.
2014 Stolpman "Estate" Sangiovese ~ $23
(Ballard Canyon) 100% Sangiovese. Winemaker's Notes: Strawberry red fruit and mocha malt chocolate combine for a prodigiously heady opulence. Well rounded and evolved, the red profile broadens to incorporate cherries jubilee, chocolate ganache, and raspberry compote.
2016 Michele Chiarlo "Nivole" Moscato d'Asti ~ $20
(Italy) Winemaker's Notes: This sweet, fragrant, lightly sparkling wine has vivid aromas and flavors of peach, apricot, grapefruit and sage on a light body with a delicate finish typical of Moscato d’Asti. An excellent companion to fresh pastries and fruit such as strawberries and peaches.
