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
2016 Mauritson Sauvignon Blanc ~ $15
(Dry Creek Valley) Winemaker's Notes: Our Sauvignon Blanc is gorgeously fruity. The aroma is a beautiful balance of young white peach flesh, papaya, and delicate white blossom. There is a pervasive vein of minerality and fresh pine sap. The entry is bright and focused. On the palate, notes of candied grapefruit dance with flavors of summer melon and lime zest. The finish is clean and soft with balanced acidity. Enjoy this wine with light appetizers, salads, seafood dishes or on its own on a warm summer evening.

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.

2014 Bokisch Tempranillo ~ $19
(Lodi) Winemaker's Notes: 99% Tempranillo + 1% Graciano. Deep Purple. That is what meets your eye as you twirl this gorgeous wine in your glass. Aromas of Bing cherry and ripe Santa Rosa plums combine with hints of cedar smoke, sage and cocoa powder. The 2014 Tempranillo exhibits a mélange of dark berries on the palate with dark chocolate, carob and tart raspberry plum jam. The beautifully structured tannins make this a perfect wine for aging in the Spanish tradition of Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva. Enjoy now and for many years into the future! Pair with peppercorn crusted filet mignon with wild mushrooms port sauce or a traditional whole roasted chicken seasoned with smoked paprika and preserved lemons. 92 Points, Wine Enthusiast.

2015 Relieve “Ciclo” Nebbiolo ~ $32
(Valle de Guadalupe) winemaker's Notes: This wine is aged 12 months in American oak and has true Nebbiolo color. The nose has red/blue fruit, brown spice, a touch of oak and a trace of rubber. The palate has sweet raspberry, cherry, blueberry and a touch of coconut. This is very light bodied for a Mexican wine with fantastic acidity - long end palate and easy drinking.

Buffalo Trace Bourbon
(Kentucky) Distilled, aged and bottled at the most award-winning distillery in the world. Made from the finest corn, rye and barley malt, this whiskey ages in new oak barrels for years in century old warehouses until the peak of maturity. The taste is rich and complex, with hints of vanilla, toffee and candied fruit. The smooth finish lingers on the palate.
