- SSheilaVIPSan Diego •25 reviews5.0Dined on May 9, 2025We went to the pick up party. It was really fun. Meeting new people and tasting new wines was excellent. They served 6 tastings and it was very nice. There was a charcuterie board and passed appetizers. The outdoor setting is pleasant. I would recommend checking out Pali wines.More infoPali Wine Co.
