I have loved with the first OC Wine Mart & Tasting Bar in Irvine (which now has relocated to Aliso Viejo) since I visited years ago. Although I am not a big wine drinker, Julie was able to recommend light wine that was perfect for a light weight like me. But her store carries much more than just wine. You can imagine my excitement when she opened OC Wine Mart & Deli in Yorba Linda which is just 4 miles from my house!
I am now a regular here. No, I am still no a big wine drinker, but I am completely hooked on the sandwiches and the bar menu offerings. I was not a sandwich eater but OC Wine Mart & Deli has turned me into a sandwich lover. Featuring Boar's Head Deli meat and OC Baking Company bread, they are simply delicious! My favorites are Oven Roasted Turkey and Chipotle Chicken while my husband loves the Italian Hoagie. There are many more on the menu such as Roast Beef, Pastrami, Caprese etc. You can customize your sandwiches with different cheese, sauce, oil and veggies. Make it a combo with a bag of Deep River Potato Chips and Fountain Drink.
The Bar menu offers many great eats like Flatbreads, Caprese Salad and Cheese Platters. Whether with wine tasting or as a meal, you will be happy and satisfied. The wine bar and patio is a great place for casual date and gathering with friends and family. Live music performances on Thursday - Saturday nights.
Need wine recommendations for special occasions, just ask Julie or Farid. They have a wealth of knowledge and can recommend the best wine at the best price. OC Wine Mart & Deli also does custom gift baskets and corporate/private catering. Next time you want to impress your guests, give Julie a call. You won't be...
   Read moreOMG, is you love different flavored potato chips this is the place to go!!! About a year ago, I stopped in to buy Lotto tickets and behind me was this rack of chips that had a wonderful assortment. I was drawn to the Aged Cheddar and Horseradish. They were exceptional.
I just happened to be that way this past week and went by there. Yes, I purchased 8 bags of those same chips. I'm really not much of a chip eater, but I love these. I tried sharing with some of my coworkers (just to be nice) and only one accepted a bag. Go figure. I saved a bag for my sister, only because I ate her bag last year. But this flavor is just the thing to keep you awake when you are stuck in traffic.
Go by there and see what flavor floats your boat. They also have a great deli and I should've gotten the Squaw bread tuna...
   Read moreOk, this place has a fabulous wine selection and if you're into craft beer there are a lot of good choices including some hard to find stuff like Pliny and other offerings. The sandwiches are also tasty and made in great time. HOWEVER...the lady working the counter during the day has an attitude problem that is hard to get past. I have been in that store no less than 100 times and her customer service just plain sucks. Never a smile just a poor smug personality that quite frankly I don't understand. Asked her to get a couple extra beers out of the cooler for me and you would have thought I was asking for gold. I'm sure she must be a relative of the owner. If your listening , get someone with a pleasant attitude and a smile đ it might change...
