On Wednesdays from 5:30 – 9:00, the winemaker pours Jeff’s three selections as well as a bonus pour of his choosing that might be a barrel sample, a reserve or library wine.

Although he still practices dentistry, wine is in Wilmer’s blood. He studied viticulture at UC Davis and winemaking at Mt. San Jacinto College and San Diego State. “Wine gets into your soul little by little and becomes a passion.”

He listens to his customers, too, and enjoys interacting with them.
