| - And here we have stop #4 on the Urban Wine Tour. We strutted our way down to the Hotel San Marcos and it immediately reminded me of the uber-adorable Mosser Hotel in San Francisco. This puts me in a zen, relaxed state of mind and I prepare myself for an enjoyable time in the lounge.
They did not disappoint! (Of course, since it's the 4th stop on the wine tour, perhaps my vision may or may not have been slightly impaired.)
ANYWHO! The place was crowded, but as soon as we walked in 3 spots opened up at the bar, ROCK STAR PARKING? WHAT!? OH HELLS YEAH! So we sit down, the bartender then tells us that for the Urban Wine Tour they aren't just doing the single sample...they are doing ALL THREE! Ooooh Weee! Now you're speaking my language (although they had already run out of the advertised bruschetta, I was in no mood to complain). All 3 wine samples were tasty, proper temperatures and all! I especially enjoyed the merlot he served us (can't recall if it was the item listed or if he decided to wing it for us though).
It was obvious that we weren't the only ones who were feeling the vibe of the place, it is not a large place, but something about it invites you to chat with the people around you. It just FEELS friendly in there. Totally different than the first 3 places we stopped at.
Needless to say, I'll be back.
