Fodor's Expert Review Blue Door Winery

Take one part historic stables and one part French-and-Italian reds, and you’ve got an urban winery with nothing but unfiltered goodness. You won’t find sparkling, white, rosé, or anything sweet on the menu, just straight reds (and occasional sangria). Named for the servants’ entrance at the Governor’s Palace in Santa Fe, New Mexico, this boutique winery is captured in a painting of the blue door hung above the bar. With its flagship in Pacific Beach, this small tasting room is the only one of its kind in the heart of Julian.
