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
NV Huber Sparkling Rosé ~ $17
(Austria) winemaker's Notes: 50% Pinot Noir + 50% Zweigelt. Bright salmon pink with red-gold hues. Delicate but fresh and very lively. Fruity and spicy with hints of cherry, fresh wild strawberries, and citrus. Elegant acidity with a harmonic structure.
2017 Bodegas Borsao Blanco ~ $9
(Spain) 50% Chardonnay + 50% Macabeo. Winemaker's Notes: Straw yellow color. Has strong citric and tropical fruit aromas. In the mouth it’s creamy and fresh, in perfect harmony with the acidity.
2015 Saxon Brown "Rosella's Vineyard" Pinot Noir ~ $40
(Saint Lucia Highlands) Winemaker's Notes: Blueberry and dark cherry. Sweet vanilla oak, rose petal and spiced mocha. Great acid, and a wonderful rich finish.
2016 Rombauer Merlot ~ $42
(Napa) Winemaker's Notes: Aromas of fresh, ripe blueberries, ripe plum and black currant intertwine with notes of cedar, vanilla and pie crust. This medium-bodied wine is plush with flavors of plums, blueberries and figs upfront, leading to juicy red fruit on the midpalate. Delicious now, its depth and structure provide long cellaring potential.
2018 Michele Chiarlo "Nivole" Moscato d'Asti ~ $23
(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.
