Restaurant Rave of The Week

The featured Restaurant Rave of the Week is the most delightful little Wine Bar in Escondido called VINZ.
This type of eatery / wine bar is long overdue in this once sleepy little town.
It’s a simple wine and food place with a sophisticated but unpretentious atmosphere focused on quality rather than quantity.
This is the type of place you might find in downtown San Diego in the Gaslamp District, or Hillcrest, without those uptown prices.
The vibe inside is cozy, casual and comfortable. Outside is fresh and sunny as you watch the passersby and enjoy your wine and food with friends or family.
There are about 40 wines by the glass to choose from, all moderately priced between $5-$10
The appetizer menu has a selection of about 25 delectable bites to tempt your palate. Priced between $3-$12 with portions plentiful enough to share.
My favorite lunch choice has been the Specialty Salads.
I love the Tossed Tuscan Salad with Seasoned Grilled Chicken. It is a burst of flavor in every bite with it’s Fresh Mixed Grens, Artichoke & Palm Hearts, Dry Cranberries, Garbanzo Beans, Almonds, Pepperoncinis, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Baby Squash, and Crumbled Goat Cheese in White Balsamic Citrus Vinaigrette.
All I can say is YUMMMMM!
Do something nice for yourself, stop by VINZ on Grand Ave. in Escondido for lunch or a glass of wine and cheese with some friends, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed and you will want to come back soon and frequently.
Thanks, Vinnie Griffin for bringing this touch of class to Escondido!

HAPPY EATING!
