Upon first glance Wet Stone Winebar is your typically charming wine bar nestled in the quaint Bakers Hill neighborhood. Take a step inside though and visitors will realize that this is much more than an ordinary wine bar, it’s an enclave for connoisseurs of food and wine seeking a sanctuary that caresses the eye as well as the palate.

Wet Stone Winebar boasts an exotic wine list, personally selected by chef and proprietor Christian Gomez who meticulously follows wine trends and enjoys collecting fine wines from across the globe like souvenirs. Gomez likes to keep 25-30 of his favorite wines on hand for visitors with many of the selections being rare and exotic picks that Gomez hopes will appeal to his customer’s exotic side.

For those who aren’t ready to start, or end, the day with an alcoholic beverage Gomez’s creates his special “agua fresco” daily. This latino drink inspired by Gomez’s childhood memories is a blissful combination of fresh fruit, citrus and light sugar that create a refreshing elxir for your taste buds.

In addition, Wet Stone has a food menu to rival the city’s top restaurants, not to mention presentation worthy of a magazine cover. Inspired by Gomez’s own travels, the menu reflects a wealth of culinary diversity that will make visitors forget they are still in San Diego.

Just a bite of the South American-style churrasco plate topped off with a hearty red wine while Latin beats linger softly in the background and you’ll begin to feel the Spanish cobblestone streets beneath your feet. Or be transported to Peru with just a bite of savory Peruvian inspired Albacore Cebiche accompanied by chilled sweet yams. The wine bar, which is open for lunch and dinner is also famous for their award winning tropical sangria that is as heavenly as it is exotic.

Forget the plane ticket, at Wet Stone all you need to travel is an appetite.
