Barsha Wines & Spirits

If you enjoy wine and cheese and you are in the South Bay, you need to check out Barsha Wines & Spirits on Sepulveda Blvd in Manhattan Beach. They have parking available in the lot right in front of their storefront. You can buy things to go, or enjoy in their all-indoor tasting room with friendly staff. They were also very accommodating for our large group, even as we just kept ordering more rounds of the same goat & sheep cheeses. I really enjoyed building my own wine tasting flight because it allowed me to try a larger variety of red wines. If you’re unsure of what to order, they also have pre-set wine tasting flights in the menu. For food, they have extensive charcuterie board options, but no real entrees. We loved the goat and sheep cheese pairings so much that we ordered a few more rounds of repeats. Goat cheese. Sheep cheese. Truffle cheese. All the meats.

Cute wine bar with small bites. Came here on a Wednesday evening around 7:30pm and there were only a couple of other tables. We seated ourselves and the employee came quickly to explain the menu. He was very friendly and left us to our own devices for the most part, which is exactly what was needed. We got a flight of wine (2 reds, 2 whites) which equates to one glass ($20). We got a charcuterie (there’s 6 options for the meats so we just got all of it) in addition to the dips and bread plate (it had hummus, arugula pesto, a date spread, and harissa. These things were surprisingly filling and you’re given plenty of crackers for the meats. There’s a small parking lot. Credit cards accepted. Indoor dining only and they’re also a wine shop, so you can pick up bottles here. It has a very local feel and there seemed to be regulars who came in often. It’s good for an intimate meal/drinks with friends or date night.

Barsha is the perfect place to enjoy wine in South bay. The wine selection is unique and reasonably priced, and the staff is exceptional. We had a cheese board with a variety of dips and baguette, all of which paired perfectly with the wine.

Great little place for wine and small plates/charcuterie. One of the servers (maybe manager or owner) was really friendly and informative, the others did what they had to or were asked to do. Small parking lot in front and a good amount of street parking nearby. Worth a visit, but if you're starving, make sure to fill up a bit before visiting.

I’m not a wine person, but I loved everything I tried at Barsha! The service is amazing & the owner is so so kind! I’ll def be coming here every time I’m in LA.

This is not your typical beer wine and liquor store this shop has high end wines and hard to find exquisite liquors imported from all over the world. They also serve small plates and fine cheeses to provide and excellent wine tasting experience. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable and more than willing to answer all your questions. So even if your a novice fine wine and spirits taster on a conesouer this boutique can challenge your taste buds and knowledge.

Beautiful people. Wonderful service. Delicious food and wine.

I recently hosted my birthday party at Barsha and it was amazing! The wine is always incredible and the food is delicious. But we love spending time at Barsha because of the wonderful staff who are so welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful. It’s one of my favorite places in the South Bay!

A comfortable wine spot to chill and talk in MB. This venue is not at all presumptuous- we like the down home vibe.Its clean and cute. My daughter is a member here and always takes us here when we are in town. They have some delicious wine and nosh. I loved the Hand of Fatima platter and was so excited that they are available to purchase. The staff is always friendly and attentive. We are looking forward to stopping in the next time we visit.

Barsha has been my favorite place for wine (and beer!) since 2016. The wine selection is exquisite and unique. You won't find anything here that's also sold at mainstream stores (thank god!) The charcuterie and bites are high end and so delicious. I also can't rave enough about every single employee there. It's like visiting family. This place has my heart and I'm so glad it's in my neighborhood so I can go ALL THE TIME.

Love both the restaurant and the wine store! This place has such thoughtfully curated wines and delicious food. The club is a great deal too and a wonderful way to get exposure to interesting new wines

Super cute and cozy spot that is perfect for date night! Waiter was informed, energetic and kind. Love the selection! My only feedback would be to label the cheeses. This way when charcuterie and cheese plates come out you know what is what.

We've been here twice in the past few weeks because it's just such a cozy, sweet spot to grab a glass of wine. The other location is a restaurant - this one is a small wine shop with a bar and a few tables. The staff here is friendly and can recommend the right wine for you. Last time I ended up talking off the bartender's ear about living in LA, moving, prices, etc. But she seemed keen on sharing her stories, too. The best word to describe this place is honestly just cozy. We've sat at the bar both times (I think it has about 6 seats) and usually behind us there have been some groups - maybe some moms, or groups of teachers, friends, etc. They also do serve some beers and a few cocktails and mocktails as well, in addition to charcuterie boards, though we've just stuck to wine the two times we've been. Great little date night spot.

Pfft...easiest review ever. Barsha Wine and Spirits is BEST! 5 stars! Lol, okay...you want more, right? Alrighty then, here you go: Awesome staff. Great selection. Good food & bites. Nice beer on tap. Excellent selection of wines. Relaxing atmosphere. LOVE this place (it's my second home, lol!) 5 stars Thank you, Adnen, Hamza, Scott & my pals in the kitchen!

Super cute little spot!! I took 4 of my friends from out of town here and can't believe I've never been before! They have a huge selection of wine and spirits, in addition to little drinking Knick Knack gifts. $20 for a 4 wine (2 white 2 red) tasting, in addition to a Build Your Own charcuterie style menu where you may select your own meats and cheeses. We didn't have any nibbles, but their homemade hummus smelled AMAZING and bites looked fresh. Very kind staff; clean location. Not many wine bars like this in the area. Fun for a date day or big group!

Wow. This place was just what the doctor ordered on a rainy Monday! Amazing service, wine, and bites. We loved the house wines and cheese/charcuterie. We will be making Barsha a monthly date day/night spot from here on out.

Limited selection of good bourbons. The sales person in the store sells a good bill of goods

First time visiting Barsha and thoroughly enjoyed this location with plenty of space and good company! This was a fundraiser and everything seemed to go smoothly ... it was great fun!

Just delicious food and great service. They offer some great vegetarian options. I would love to go back for one of their live music nights.

If you are looking for quality wine, customer service and an overall great experience, this is the place! Hamza made the whole visit to Barsha perfect, 10 out of 10! He made me and my group of girlfriends feel so welcome, so comfortable, a home away from home. He is extremely tentative to all his customers making sure each person us happy and having the best time one could. Not only does he provide great service he is very knowledgeable, and fun, kind, and just all around brings such good energy to the establishment. You can tell he really loves being there and enjoys bringing an experience to the guests! Now the wine and the small bites, WOW! They are so good. I used to be a member at a few other places and it was "okay" here, it was delicious! I love all their meats and cheeses, truffle cheese wow almost died because of how good it was. That and their wine desert and wedding cake ice cream? Ar you kidding me? It does not get better than that. I could go on and on, but let's just say I canceled my other memberships for the "wine club" and joined here in less than 30 minutes. I received my wines for the month that night and unlike the other places, wow I was impressed! I am already on board to order a case of one of the wines they gave me from the wine club which has never happened. 10/10/10/10 - my new favorite place!

Nice store, very friendly and attentive staff, large selection of wines and spirts that are not generally featured at larger stores, prices were reasonable, would be a nice place to pick up some items that are different than the ones available at the larger stores.

Great wine. Great service. Great ambiance. Reasonable pricing. Love coming here to enjoy unique delicious wine. Service has always been 10/10 and haven't had a single wine i disliked.

My wife and I visited for our anniversary this past December. The ambience was very pleasant and relaxing. They have a great selection of wines from all around the world. The service was amazing and the staff are very knowledgeable. My wife and I will most definitely be visiting again in the near future. I recommend this place for anyone wanting to taste wines from around the world.

Fun, cozy and inviting place to meet up with friends. Looks like a future GNO site! Met the owner who was really friendly and accomodating. The wine selection is amazing and a nice selection of merch for hostess gifts or wine lovers. There's enough space to sit or stand here. Parking is a challenge but we all Uber/Lyft nowadays right? Will be back!

Great spot for wine tasting, moms night out! Get the flight and try 4 different wines! Cozy atmosphere.

Love it here. Been a few times and the service is always great. This time I came in asking for a recommendation for a red blend from Spain and Scott knocked it out of the park. Loved the wine bottles. I also wanted to make my own charcuterie board for dinner that night and he suggested his favorites cheeses and meats. I got the Cypress Grove Truffle Tremor which is a goat cheese from CA, a Manchego 3 month blend which was a sheep cheese from Spain, and an Old Amsterdam extra aged Gouda from Netherlands. My guests couldn't say which was their favorite because all three were so yummy. I also got a Black Label Prosciutto, Coppa Pork Shoulder, and Toscano Salami. All were equally as great. Scott also recommended this Strawberry Mint jelly and Tunisian almonds. Lets just say the whole board was a huge hit. I can't wait to make more. Thank you Scott for all your advice :) I'll be back soon.

Barsha Wines and Spirits is both a wine and spirits shop as well as a wine and beer bar. About half of the floor space is devoted to the shop, which also stocks crostini, cured meats and a selection of cheeses as well as other snacks and wine and snack accessories, and the other half is for the bar. The bar portion consists of a sofa and two chairs with a low table, two high tops that each seat about 10 communally (and are periodically reserved for wine club members coming in for tasting and pickup) and a bar that seats 5 people regularly but 6 if stretched. The casual bar has a rustic feel - like a wine box - with lots of wooden surfaces. The menu is limited - there is not a kitchen but a good toaster and a selection of snacks. The service is quite good - definitely one of the better points of sitting at the bar. Our party of 3 was relegated to the bar because the rest of the place was on hold for wine club folks, but it worked out because we were able to have some extra tastes as we decided what to sip throughout the evening. The bartender/server was very knowledgeable and seemed to care a great deal about wine. The wines were varied - both geographically and in flavor. Generally, the prices are $10 to $15 per 6 oz glass with the average around $12. The bottles of wine in the store are all over the map but definite have a vast majority in the $20-$30 range. The nibbles are tasty but not necessarily fresh. We had five cheeses - Camembert, Smokey Blue, Roncal DOP, Fleur Verte Herb Goat and Aged Cheddar. They were served with a little tropical jam, candied papaya, grapes and spiced almonds. All of the cheeses but the Roncal were great - the Roncal seemed to have a little fuzz. We asked the server and he said it was "herbs," so we ate it. MISTAKE...major tummy aches the next day. I think that was the source. In contrast, we had the kale Caesar, which is absolutely delicious. The shredded kale is tossed in a house Caesar dressing and topped with roasted, spiced garbanzo beans, sautéed mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, croutons and shaved Parmesan. If I returned, I would probably just order this. We also had a charcuterie plate. This was also very good. While the Rosemary Ham was a bit dull as were the duck rillettes, the country pate, the chorizo rioja and the Loukanika Salami were amazing. In fact, the Greek salami was some of the best that I have ever had. These were served with Dijon, cornichons, pickled grapes, spiced almonds and crostini. We had sips of lots of different wines (the benefit of having 3 people and small pour options (3 oz)). A French Sparkling Rose, an Austrian Gruner Veltner, an Italian Lacrima, a Santa Barbara GSM (best of the night), a Napa Sauv Blanc (second best of the night), a French Rose made from Pinot Gris, Santa Barbara Syrah blend and a Mendocino Cab. At the end, we wanted a little sweet. They have quite a selection of Jeni's ice creams - we shared a trio. I think that chocolates would be a nice addition to the menu. I think that they would be a better match for the wine. We enjoyed the ice cream but would probably skip it next time. We really enjoyed ourselves save the evidently foul cheese and the outrageously uncomfortable wooden barstools on metal legs. I cannot think of a less comfortable seat in any restaurant or bar in Los Angeles. Perhaps it was the hardest wood ever? Whatever it was, my toucus was in bad shape. I would definitely come again. A little pricey but typical in this area and not too sceney.

Went on a Saturday night maybe 1 hour before closing. One guy was serving about 4 couples but he was so fast and friendly. He greeted us when we walked in we did two tasting sat in this section next to the window and did two tasting flights each the same. We ordered a charcuterie board with cheese and meats. We were giving water also. Our charcuterie board was delicious loved everything but the duck it was like a little block of blended meat lol but everything else was so good. The wine was good and refreshing. We left with a bottle of wine from a winery in Paso Robles we visited. They have tons of cool wines from different areas. I'm so glad we found Barshad because it's such a cool date night spot. I also saw someone with a pup so I'm guessing good behave pups are welcome.

Great service, food and vibes! Love their attention to detail and friendly staff! Great date night spot.

Such a cute spot. Even better than the wines are the charcuterie selections to accompany the wines. I really enjoy this hidden gem along Route 1 when I just want to catch up with friends without all of the fuss. Parking is scarce BUT there is a lot behind the building...so, don't drive off if you don't see a spot up front. For $25ish, I had a glass of wine and 3 cheeses + 3 meats. Not bad...

In love with this place! Can't wait to try their restaurant! Wine flight and plates as well as a to go cheese and salami are highly recommended. Definitely coming back whenever I'm in the area!! THE BREAD AND OLIVE OIL WOW!!!

My go to spot for wine in Manhattan Beach. Hamza and the staff here are so friendly and hospitable they will make you feel right at home. Wine list is always good and changes regularly- definitely try the dips! Loads of bottles for sale as well.

I hosted my birthday party at Barsha and I could not be happier with how everything went. From the initial planning with Scott, to the day of the event, everyone had a great time. They allowed our party to bring in our own decorations and helped us with set up as well. I'm happy my group was able to become new customers that can't wait to go back! The team at Barsha is so friendly and knowledgeable about wine and they were happy to offer recommendations based on what wines you know you already like. Barsha has a great selection of wines and other alcohols to purchase to take home, along with gifts. If you are looking for a chill place to spend the day wine tasting with a great group of guys - Barsha is the place to go! We will definitely be back very soon.

This place was great. We stopped in for a snack of wine and cheese. The wine selection was awesome and the cheeses were delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive. We'd definitely go back... and actually meant to before leaving. Next time!

$20 wine flight, excellent selection. I liked them all! 2 white, 2 red Got the hummus which was really good, but the star was the AMAZING BREAD. And I don't even like bread that much! The truffle cheese and garlic/herb goat cheese were fantástic. Honestly I wish the board came with the bread instead of the crisps lol. Country pate was meh. A bit bland and also more like a chorizo/pressed texture rather than the spreadable paste I'm used to. Gorgeous place, good wine glasses.

Love it here! Staff is so friendly & Have been here so many times over the past few months I've lived in MB. Perfect for a girls night or a date night. We usually come here before dinner for a cheese app & get a bottle to take home. Food, atmosphere, staff 5/5

Great atmosphere. Great waiter and service. The wine selection is large and our waiter very knowledgeable The tastings are very generous. The bread and dips delicious. Will now need to check out the Tunesian restaurant with same name !!!

Absolutely love this place! We come every week, almost twice a week just to see Hamza! He's probably the best server I've ever met. So friendly and always on top of everything. This place is very cozy and the menu is amazing. Prices are great and a really great place to come and chill after a long week. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a regular wine bar to come to!

We visited Barsha's tasting room on a Friday night and it was the perfect way to close out the week. We got a tasting flight and a glass of wine with meats and cheeses and everything was incredible. Hamza was our host and he was fantastic! Amazing vibe. Highly recommend!

Barsha is amazing!! My boyfriend and I came here before the first COVID lockdown... we were looking for a local wine tasting spot because we had missed our Temecula wine tasting experience. Barsha was such a nice little local experience! When the first lockdown lifted, we had missed it so much that we came back again! It's a great place to catch a nice glass of wine or beer! They have a wonderful wine tasting sampler with a choice of four wines to try! Hamza is the best!!! He honestly gives such great service that now we've been back three times and he always knows our usuals!! If you're in the local area, definitely stop by and have a little tasting! It's worth it!

This is probably the cutest wine bar in South Bay. Unfortunately, what keeps them cute is that so few people can actually get in. But with their irresistible wine flights of mini carafes on wooden servers and classy high wooden tables, be prepared to fight me for a seat. Afraid to drink on an empty stomach? No worries, the charcuterie and cheese plates won't make a meal but they'll fill you up just enough to cushion the wine and fuel you up to run to the nearest restaurant. The proscuitto and brasaola are some of Italy's best, and even the rosemary ham is exceptional. The cheeses are mind-blowing, and though I haven't tried the platter of spreads, they look absolutely intriguing. I've only been to Barsha once, but I already consider myself a regular. After all, their wine flight changes every week.

If you want to have a great time, this is definitely the right place to go. To be honest I normally don't drink, I only have a sip or two. I know NOTHING about wine but I just can tell you this place is AWESOME. I love the ambience, decoration, staff and the cheese. The staff helps you if you have no idea what to drink. I came here yesterday after work, it was my second time and I had a blast. My friend said the selection of wines was really good. I didn't understand a thing about the terms while discussing about wine, instead I just focused on eating the cheese, the kale salad (to die for) and all the bread with the different type of dips. I highly recommend Barsha. It's definitely a place you must go!

Can't say enough about this place! My favorite spot to pick up beer/wine to go and our go to relax and drink location! The staff are very knowledgeable and you can't beat the selection they have here. Also, try the food, you won't be upset! I could eat here everyday. We are also wine club members, which I love because each month we get 2 new bottles from all over the world and at a very reasonable price!! When our clients are looking for food at our @taptruckbeachcities events we always recommend barsha!

My husband and I already love Barsha restaurant in Hermosa and now we've finally tried the tasting room in MB. We can confidently say that we love this location, too, and will continue to be loyal patrons of both spots. Whether you want to pick up a nice bottle of wine (or spirits or beer for that matter!) or hang in the tasting room for great company, drinks and snacks, you're in the right place. The atmosphere is lovely and the Barsha team are so kind and generous. We each enjoyed a wine flight, we got a charcuterie board and a cheese board, and we got the date tapenade (SO good - a must try). We also ended the night with some Jeni's ice cream, which is our favorite and we love that they have it on deck at Barsha (because driving to their scoop shop in Venice isn't always ideal haha). You just can't go wrong if you pop into this place.

I love Barsha. So much that I refused to write a review for a year and a half, in my delusional state that my one review (or lack of) will somehow keep this place from becoming too busy.... but I'm feeling generous today so I will share :) Food: They don't have full meals but a lot of nibbles (meats & cheeses, salads, bruchettas are my favorites). My favorite way to enjoy Barsha is coming here after a light dinner to enjoy wine and nibbles. Drinks: They have wine AND beer. The selection of the wine is amazing. I love ordering the flight (4 little mini carafes) and then getting a glass of something I fell in love with. Service: The owners here are WONDERFUL! They make you feel welcome each time, and they also did a great job at hiring people since their servers are all very friendly and attentive. The store: I love making a quick stop here for buying wine gifts. I also love asking for recommendations after having a flight, since they are awesome at the "well if you liked that one, you will probably like this" game :)

I came here with a couple of friends on a Friday night, and really enjoyed the atmosphere. They have a small but nice selection of wine, beer, and nibbles. My friends and I tried a flight, and 'sips' of different wines. No nibbles. But they looked really appetizing and paired well with the wine selection. I will definitely be back.

I had a very good experience at Barsha. First of all, parking is a breeze, with a free lot right out in front. Inside, the decor is impressive...casual, but with an upscale feel. It is a wine bar in Manhattan Beach, after all. The overall vibe is good, too. Lively, but not overwhelmingly so. I'll be honest, I was there for the wine...so all I had to eat there was a couple of charcuterie plates, both of which were excellent. The wine selection is great, too. The menu features a few suggested tasting flights, but I'm not crazy about white wine, so our very friendly. enthusiastic hosts helped our table build an all-red flight, which was just what I was looking for. I think the greatest strength of Barsha is the knowledge and enthusiasm of the staff. I've experienced plenty of snobbery elsewhere when dealing with wine tasting and appreciation. There's not a drop of that here. Everyone I dealt with was very helpful and sympathetic to my novice palate and modest budget. I recommend this place. Cheers.

Barsha is one of our favorites in the South Bay, all around. It's a unique combination of great wine and food, quality beer and a sense of design that makes the space inviting to stay a while or a quick pick-up. The owners Adnen and Lenora are both creative and passionate about what they do. They add life to the business and are what keeps us coming back. Reasons I would recommend Barsha: 1) Monthly wine club is consistent and never disappoints. I've many people complement my wine choices when I didn't even pick them! They are also seasonal so they complement the occasion. 2) There is a nice lounge and area for tables that can suite a casual weekend or after work drinks. Like I said, they have an eye for design and the space suites. 3) Parking is never an issue. Sometimes you can get right in front of the door. 4) Don't sleep on the beer selection. They are known for wines, but represent the craft scene quite well.

My first thought on the first visit was "this place would KILL in the Manhattan Beach village" but now I love and appreciate it even more exactly BECAUSE IT'S **NOT** in the village! After driving past wondering about Barsha for so long I've been in several times now and realized quickly all the 5 star reviews are real. There's nothing not to love: the retail side is a surprisingly interesting and well-curated wine selection, with a lot of European, old-world, and esoteric stuff that you will absolutely NOT find anywhere else in the South Bay. Also some craft beers, outstanding whiskey and spirits section, quirky gifts, Riedel stemware, and killer cheeses and charcuterie to take home--which brings us the the "other" side of the room: the tasting and munchies bar. The 4-selection wine flights, half glasses, and full glasses available are ALL great and change monthly. The owner and chief pourer Adnen has fantastic taste and knowledge and chooses these carefully, and so far I've loved every single selection. But the munchies..... wow, not your everyday cheapo cheese and crackers. They surprised the hell out of me with the super high quality of cheeses, charcuterie, pâtés, homemade dips, and broiled warm baguette pieces drizzled liberally with Tunisian olive oil that makes me hungry just thinking about it. But most importantly everyone is nice! The staff is super friendly which must be a reflection of Adnen and his wife Lenora. Adnen is probably going to be the warmest and most engaging owner you'll ever meet in ANY business. It's a great and laid back vibe and it just always feels good in there. Pop in soon and I'm sure you'll agree. 5 stars well earned!

Love love love this place!!! This was my first time here... didn't know how it worked... there's an actual shop, connected to the bar area.... I brought my mom who's usually a white wine person and since They offered a flight, she was able to taste some new things!!! Staff was great and very friendly!!! The charcuterie was amazing!!! I suggest the hopscotch cheese and the chorizo salami!!! Super delicious!!! I will def return!!!

I've been here when they first opened and I just went back recently... I don't know why I waited so long to come back! It's the type of cozy atmosphere that's slightly trendy but laid back. Huge selection of great wine! Flights for beers and wine, nibbles and amazing cheeses. I came here on a Sunday afternoon and curled up on the couches to grab a drink while reading a book. It made my day. tip: dips for bread are amazing! the homemade fig and pesto were my favorite.

I was really sad when I found out Sepulveda Wine Co was closing but was pleasantly surprised with the replacement, Barsha. It has a romantic and rustic atmosphere. Worn wood, candle light, and water served out of an "old" glass milk container. The tasting area is about half of the store size. More seating for tasting than SWC had. SWC felt more like a wine store that had tasting in the corner, while Barsha vibes like a wine bar that happens to also sell bottles. I miss the free cheese and crackers that SWC served but the charcuterie here was delicious. Pick 3 or 5 meats/cheese for $15/$20 respectively. The meat/cheese options were hand written on a large chalkboard - so I assume the change. My friend and I shared a cheese plate. The cheese was served with large red grapes, homemade passionfruit jam, almonds and macadamia nuts covered in truffle honey, and toasted crostini. It was delicious!! The couple who owns the business are young, friendly and informative. The wine flight we got was $12 and we each sampled 4 wines. A fairly inexpensive way to spend an hour or so with a friend or date. All is all - Love the place, the people, food and wine. I will definitely be back.

Stopped in for a tasting with a plate of cheese to share! Oddly placed on the street, and a sign that isn't the best or easiest to read - we parked. In the weirdest, oddly marked parking lot Oi vey! I'm surprised because Barsha shares the lot with a really good mexican restaurant and a Baskin Robbins. The place was rustic chic inside, long cocktail tables with matching stools and cool light fixtures. Art and photos for sale all around the space, shelving full of wine and other snacks to take home. We sat at the bar for a Viva to California flight ($12) -- Bonny doon vineyard albarino Bodegas M albarino Mariposa tempranillo Bodesgas M tempranillo All California wines from the Central coast area, and we paired it with Barsha's cheese plate. A great choice, definitely a must! We chose three cheeses, listed below: 3 for $15 or 5 for $20 Dunbarton Blue - cheddary aged blue L'Amuse - creamy, slight salty, nutty notes Dancing Fern - creamy, nutty, sinful in a good way all served with: a small spoonful of passion fruit jam, candied mango pieces, spiced almonds, and strawberries drizzled with reduced balsamic and crisps. They have way more to offer food wise too like charcuterie, desserts, salads, edamame, and even BEER! Beer flights and full glasses!

Sometimes its tough to make any business worth it after 5pm on Sepulveda Blvd, especially when I want a beer and my partner wants wine. In comes Barsha Wines and Spirits to alleviate both my apprehension of relentless traffic and alcoholic freedom of choice. Within seconds of walking into the venue we were delighted with a full scale wine Christmas tree, which somehow still felt relevant in the new year. After being greeted with a warm smile and seated within the minute, the staff wasted no time in giving us a few knowledgeable recommendations. My partner had the wine flight, which includes two whites and two reds from a variety of sources and liberal portions. Although I'm usually a full-bodied cabernet fan, the second of the four wines, which was a dry Chardonnay, was quite impressive. Not to mention I enjoyed the trendy beer glass, short and stout, as I sipped my locally sourced IPA. What may have been most impressive were the small bites to eat that we chose. Offerings of hummus, flavored almonds, various olives, a date tapenade and an arugula heavy pesto felt at the same time luxurious and accessible, especially when paired with a fresh baguette drizzled in olive oil. The date tapenade was my favorite, challenging what I thought would possibly be an austere pairing by balancing sweetness, salty and a velvet texture. Between the immaculate service, attention to detail in both description and presentation, and simply the taste of the food & drink, we left with a smile (and not just because of the wine!). Definitely recommended, will be back without a doubt. I was told that the selections are continuously rotated as well, so looking forward to a new experience at a familiar and warm place.

A casual little place run by knowledgeable young food pros. They know what they're doing, and love what they're doing, and they do it their own way: it's a wine boutique that offers wine flights picked with care. They have several CA wines, but they seem to have a preference for European styles and flavor profiles. I was really impressed at the quality and taste of many wine varieties that I usually overlook, at some very reasonable bottle prices. However, they've gotten a reputation for being stingy. After several trips, I've found the tastings and tapas are less than generous, and leave much to be desired for the price. I learned my lesson at one of their parties, where they charged $50 each person for tastings and food. However, the food was in short supply--people had to fight each other for a few bites. It's also obvious they take advantage of vendors. One caterer came in to cut up some sandwiches, and people were so hungry they grabbed at it faster than she could put it on a serving tray. She obviously didn't expect to be catering a party for 200 people by herself for free, and ran out of supplies within minutes. I give them good marks for affability, but that doesn't mean you're going to feel appreciated.

Great wine and food! I had the Kale salad which was was tasty. I also had the 4 wine flight of the week. They picked 4 wines, you have option to pick your own. The harbison is a strong cheese, so be warned. I liked at the end, you need to try it on toast with jelly.
