WHO WE ARE

My Photo
We love drinking wine and learning about it from knowledgeable, friendly people. For us, an essential part of visiting wineries and tasting rooms is the conversation - be it with a winemaker, a member of his/her family, or an employee who's obviously found the perfect job. We enjoy learning people's stories as we share their wines; every winemaker and every winery has a back-story. Our palates favor dry, earthy reds with expressive tannins and crisp, citrusy whites. We're extremely liberal about pairing; if a wine tastes good with our food, it works. If it doesn't, we open something else. We like to distinguish flavors - of wine of course but also of cheeses... and, most significantly, of raw oysters. As often as we can afford it you'll find us on the receiving side of the bar at Oceanaire (San Diego), The Hungry Cat (L.A., Santa Barbara, Santa Monica), The Swan (San Francisco), Elliott's (Seattle), or Grand Central Oyster Bar (New York City).

COUNTRY CELLARS tasting room and wine shop



There’s nothing close to Country Cellars in the city of San Diego: it's truly a one-stop shop for San Diego County wine and beer. Located on Highway 78 between Julian and Ramona, this place is a gem that attracts both locals and tourists. Owner Trez Gotfredson changes up the tasting menu every week, so there’s always something new to try, and even more to buy. Her current list includes five whites, sixteen reds, and eight dessert wines (and we didn’t even look at the beer!).  The shop stocks some cheeses and other picnic supplies as well.



Country Cellars has both monthly and quarterly wine clubs, with lots of options. The discount is at least 15%, plus free tasting and invitations to quarterly wine-appetizer pairings and other events.

Country Cellars is open for tasting and sales Wednesday-Sunday 11-5 and holiday Mondays 11-4. 760.765.0089
