We’ll help you find a bottle you’ll really enjoy here at The WineSellar. Whether you’re new to wine or a studied oenophile, we can help you find the right bottle for tonight or one to put away in the cellar for the next decade or two.

We bring you hard-to-find “craft” wines from the domestic scene, as well as the classics from Bordeaux, Burgundy, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and the other great wine regions in France.


We also seek out outstanding wines from around the world: Spain, Italy, Austria, German, Australia, Argentina and New Zealand, just to name a few great wine producing regions.

We hand select wines that possess special character and quality. We know that the best wine is not always the most expensive: you want a good value, and we aim to deliver. If you’re looking for something special, we also offer collector’s wines that have been off the market for years. We regularly buy from private collections and our own wine storage facility houses well over 200 individual collections.

The Brasserie offers an intimate atmosphere with a seasonal, contemporary French menu complimented by access to the world’s greatest wines and handmade cocktails. We bring together excellent cuisine, an award-winning wine list, (The Wine Spectator Grand Award winner since 1989) and a talented staff to reward you with an exquisite fine-dining experience.

Most importantly, The Brasserie is a Wine Lover's restaurant! Our restaurant wine pricing policy is amongst the best in San Diego, and assures that you will be enjoying the best wine possible for your dollars. The world-class wines on our reserve list are set to the retail price level, not the typical 2-4 times retail prices that are standard in the industry.

If you want to select a wine from the wine shop, the modest fee for opening and supplying our fine wine glassware may be your way to go.

The Brasserie Restaurant has been named “The Power Lunch Hot Spot” for San Diego by the Zagat Guide for 2011.

Serving Happy Hour Tuesday through Friday 4:00-6:00 pm.

The WineSellar & Brasserie has just completed building a wine and craft beer bar in the wine shop below the Brasserie Restaurant. We feature a casual.We call it "The Casual Side", as it is on the other side (and one floor below) The Brasserie.

In just getting started, we have 6 local beers on tap, and another couple dozen by the bottle. Those numbers will expand as we move forward. We also have excellent house wines, a full bar and great cocktails.

Our appetizer list is fun and extensive, and well priced. We are currently serving happy hour only, but it looks like we may have to extend those hours.

So far we have enjoyed great customer reviews. The food is well received, and it is a chance for people to come into our place in shorts and a t-shirt and get Brasserie quality food and excellent beers and wines.

WineSellar Saturday and Wednesday tastings have been a solid traditionf or more than 25 years. Placed before you are 4-6 different pours of interesting, fine wine that have a related theme.

We hope you will join us for our next tasting!
