Secret door, great wines, and over the top Alice in Wonderland decor are probably what you’ve already heard about Vin de Syrah. We held our first MojoPages VIP event here a few weeks ago. I was nervous for several reasons, including the fact that I was planning an event for some people that I didn’t yet know in real life.

We were already biased toward Fresh & Easy before it opened.  We lived in London and frequently shopped at Tesco, Fresh & Easy’s parent company.

Thumbnail image for Wine Wednesday: Wine Time, La Jolla

There are some places that I just haven’t been to in a while for no good reason. Wine Time is one of those places. It was lunchtime and we had no food. I didn’t have a chance to get to the store before I had to pick La Jolla Girl up from preschool, so I ducked into Wine Time for sandwiches. I read on Yelp that people like the deli.
