Orfila's Oceanside Tasting Room

​We finally made a visit to Orfila Vineyards and Winery’s urban tasting room in the San Diego County city of Oceanside.  It is a relatively small but quite nice facility only a block from the ocean.  We sat at a table outside, drinking one of favorite wines (more on this wine below), enjoying first their charcuterie board, then a hummus and pita platter. Two important points to be made about these dishes.  First, the charcuterie board includes bread that is absolutely incredible.  Second, the hummus is very spicey.  You'll have to excuse the funny angles of the pictures below.  I took them after my second glass of wine....

​Now on to the wine mentioned above.  It was Lagrein.  This wine is a very rare red variety grown mostly in northern Italy, the subject of an earlier blog on this website.  We have been waiting for this 2019 vintage for some time now, and it did not disappoint.  It could have been served a bit cooler, though.  I’m guessing that they are more accustomed to the Escondido tasting room, which is kept quite cool.  As you can see in the menu below, most of the Orfila wines are available, and wine club members get their normal discounts and free wine.
One final note:  parking.  Because it is a urban site, parking is a problem.  There are a few spaces in front, but I should warn you that you have to back into these spaces.
