Description

Every Friday, this charming shop on the edge of Lake Mission Viejo opens its private lakeside patio for wine tastings. The events are a smash; reservations are required, limited to about 30 per session and best made at least two weeks in advance. But it's also a bona fide gourmand's treat, with wines from across the world available, plus a diverse cheese-and-meat wheel for grubbing.
