Jakes on 6th Wine Bar

For San Diego wine enthusiasts who are pro-vine but anti-vain, Jake’s on 6th has been a long time coming. The setting is small, romantic and cozy, with soft candles and appropriate dim lighting. The space is open and quite dramatic, with stone structured walls, concrete floors, and dark woods and leathers that really cast the feeling of being in an underground wine cellar. Aside from garden-picked fruits, deli-rich meats and cheeses, tangy olives, mouth-watering breads and sauces, and their signature selection of six handmade paninis and gourmet salads, what makes the menu at Jake’s really stand out is the heaping portions and are-you-sure-that’s-the-right-price questions the menu is likely to spark. For example, the Antipasto Platter features generous servings of fresh salami, prosciutto, mortadella, cheeses, fruits, marinated olives, warm sliced bread, and all served on a large wooden cutting board, can easily satisfy a party of two, and goes for $10.50. GM Rich Totah hand selects each varietal that makes it on Jake’s wine list, and once again, the price point for these glasses and bottles is incredible.
