Fodor's Expert Review Vinz Wine Bar

Escondido
Italian
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
A bit pizza joint, a bit deli, and a lot wine bar, Vinz is the place to go for beautiful salads, pizzas that range from margherita to barnyard rustica, sandwiches to panini. Occupying a two-storefront corner, it has a dining room, a wine lounge, and a small tasting room where you're surrounded by bottles. During happy hour (or "Yappy Hour" for dog-toting patrons) , the chef makes puppy pizza and Bowser Bits for visiting dogs. There's live music and entertainment on weekends.
