 HEAD’S UP

Seating is EXTREMELY limited. We have a very limited number of tables for couples who want to sit by themselves so please let us know if you’re willing to sit at communal tables as that will GREATLY increase your chances of getting in. We also have two firepit tables for two (https://www.winevaultbistro.com/fire-pit) available so let us know if you’re OK with those tables if you want to sit by yourselves. If you’re a party of three or more there won’t be a problem getting your own table. We are currently limiting party sizes to a maximum of six.

LOCATION & PHONE

Wine Vault & Bistro is located in the heart of San Diego between Little Italy and Old Town at 3731-A India Street on the upstairs terrace. Follow the black handrail up the stairs from the sidewalk to our front door. Our phone number is (619) 295-3939.

PARKING

Meters are free after 6:00 so if you park in a metered space just put in enough money (usually under a buck) to get you to 6:00 and then you’ll be home free. Free non-metered on-street parking is also usually available within a 3-block radius. 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 SALES

Although some wines may be in limited quantities, all wines poured at this dinner will be available for purchase at the restaurant until sold out. We reserve the right to limit sales of any rare or allocated wines at our discretion.

WINE NOTES & BOTTLE PRICES

2022 St. Supery Sauvignon Blanc ~ $20

(Napa Valley) Winemaker's Notes: Vibrant, fresh and expressive, showcasing tremendous aromas of green lime and grapefruit with a citrus drive and a thread of caper and anise. Pink grapefruit flavors follow with exotic guava and bright, refreshing lime zest while accented with a nuance of fennel all beautifully balanced with bright, refreshing, crisp acidity.

2022 St. Supery Rose ~ $20

(Napa Valley) Winemaker's Notes: 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 11% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot + 3% Cabernet Franc. This bright and refreshing Rosé has vibrant pink and purple hues and aromas of raspberry and strawberry complemented by hibiscus and rose petal. Cranberry, pomegranate and watermelon flavors follow on the palate and lead to a mouthwatering finish.

2019 St. Supery Cabernet Sauvignon ~ $39

(Napa Valley) Winemaker's Notes: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot + 3% Merlot. Dark blackberry aromas combined with an elegant toasted oak nuance, threads of boysenberry and rich opulence with subtle notes of jam and graphite. Flavors follow with ripe blackberry jam, a luscious approach of dark fruits and a terrific structure supported with elegant moments of oak and a finishing hint of anise. A supple yet generous wine with an excellent structure, feel and approach.

2018 St. Supery “Rutherford” Merlot ~ $62

(Napa Valley) Winemaker's Notes: 88% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc + 1% Petit Verdot. Aromas of black plum and black cherry combine with graphite, milk chocolate and black pepper with a subtle thread of vanilla from the toasted oak. A generous Merlot with nice freshness on the palate showcasing juicy blackberry and toasted oak with a cocoa powder texture and smooth tannins on a long finish.

2022 St. Supery “Dollarhide Estate” Muscat Canelli ~ $29

(Napa Valley) Winemaker's Notes: Beautiful in pale yellow color accented with hints of green, this is a rich, well balanced sweet wine. Floral aromas fill the glass with white blossoms, mandarin orange and fresh apricot. On the palate, flavors of ripe peach and honeysuckle meld together with citrus undertones and a tangerine zest component to create an opulent and refreshing wine. Perfect with blue cheese as an appetizer, with spicy Asian dishes as a main or with stone fruits in a cream or custard base for dessert.
