"Esters is the wine bar of your dreams: ample seating, beautiful light, and a library ladder to swing through the floor-to-ceiling shelves stocked with bottles from around the globe. There's a lovely cocktail menu, but the focus here is wine, including some cool selections from up-and-coming wine regions around Southern California, like Stolpman (Ballard Canyon) and Hocus Bolus (Lompoc). If you're unsure where to begin, the staff is incredibly knowledgeable yet un-stuffy—just what you want from a wine bar." - Krista Simmons, Hugh Garvey
