Robert Heath: Amazing flights of Spanish Rosés with lovely food. Lovely staff who are warm and knowledgeable of their wines.
Adrian Phillips: An amazing selections of wines to taste, by the glass or bottle. Cheese and charcuterie are available alongside sandwiches and dips. Perfect way to unwind after work. Still thirsty? Get a bottle to go
Nathan J: It’s one of the better places to get wine in Oakland. They don’t have the standard wine list you see everywhere which is refreshing to see. Bartenders are really helpful and the atmosphere is great.

Wine Bar · Central East Oakland · 45 tips and reviews
Nicole Elliott: The almonds, braised pork tacos, and penne & cheese are fantastic. The smalls are really a small appetizer size and the regulars aren't too big, but just right for a meal. You won't feel stuffed
Han: Great wine. Get the salmon rolls, too, if you like smoked salmon and crab.
Babette Canton: Because of the small space, the server might have you share a table with a stranger. It's a nice way to meet new people, or you can blow them off by playing with your phone.

Mrs. Fisher: District is: Sexy. Urban. Hip. Loungey. Chic. Comfy. Welcoming. Groovy. Well-appointed.
Kishna Hare: All you can eat $18 brunch was so worth it!
Paula Wirth / Eat Drink Oakland: Enjoy over 40 wines by the glass, whiskey, shareable plates, beers, a full bar, and a daily $1 oyster happy hour.
S Sheren: That’s one of the best and elegant wine places I could ever imagine.. food, music and the California wines !!! 🎶👍🌺🌺🌺
Ashley Mowrey: Wine on draft and cheese plate. Perfect place to booze up and hop right on Bart to get home. It's crazy loud, so I wouldn't bring a soft talker.
Maddie Mae: Order the käsespätzle. For the uninitiated, it's the ooey-gooey German version of mac and cheese.

Joel Bernier: Absolutely concur with Ruth S.! The goat cheese cheesecake is unreal. Another must-do is grabbing a bicicletta with a delicious brunch offering like a frittata or eggs florentine. Enjoy!
Amelia Mani: Everything was awesome, especially the burrata and the duck.
Marissa Coughlin: Brunch is excellent - donuts and the hash are killer. Never a wait!

Michelin Travel & Lifestyle: Grab a seat at the concrete chef’s counter if you are a fan of close up cooking and how butter is supposed to be used; over, and over, and over again. - Inspector
