Taste in the Alley

Curtis Barrett

Best tasting bar in Paso Robles. Wide selection from many wineries to build a flight from with expert help to guide your selections. Free shipping on 200+ orders too!

Nice spot for a wine tasting. Pick a bottle, have a glass. Good advice from the staff and nice winey vibe.

Cozy, intimate but with a conversant atmosphere. Definitely a "Gem" in Paso.

First time in Paso Robles. Friendly/knowledgeable couple gave us information and great recommendations about the area. Also tasted some great wine from the region. Great place to visit to get your bearings. So get a Chamber of Commerce Award.

Good place to sample a variety of wines from many different wineries.

They had a good selection of wine. The selection I tasted were really nice. The setting was very cozy. It was really decorated nicely. It had a quite a few patrons but didn't feel overcrowded. The patrons were very nice and explain their setup. I think they're it setup is kind of unique and I like it. They also have some snacks on consignment. I went there twice and enjoyed both times.

My partner and I only had one night to spend in Paso Robles, and I'm glad we spent it at Taste in the Alley with Ray and Lee. Ray served us a variety of tastings, explaining each without intimidating us or insulting our intelligence. He made the wines accessible, and Ray supplemented Lee's descriptions of each wine with colorful (and very scientific) commentary. We had a lovely time and are taking our newfound knowledge of Central Coast wines back to Atlanta to impress all our friends.

Found this place wandering in an alley in Paso Robles. Evan was superb. I said what we like in red wines and he nailed it with every one. Amazing. Excellent experience with wine and knowledge galore. We will return.

Great service. We were the only ones in. Spent about an hour there. It was quiet, good music, and we were left to ourselves (because we asked). 100% recommend. I asked for a sampling of whites. Event single one was great.

This is one of my favorite places in Paso. Great prices & I always meet new people who are discovering it for the 1st time. I wish they were open more days & had later hours.

Helpful, friendly staff; amazing choice of wines. Nice concept of wines sales & tasting. Nice setting. A do over.

Larry was an excellent host...this is a must visit in paso...wide variety of wines around the area. $15 for 6 wines...worth it

Great place if you have a question about wine Ray knows the answer. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!

Taste in the Alley is a special treasure, especicially helpdul are Kitty and Larry making suggestions and finding new wi es, beer and sparkling options.

We didn’t enjoy our experience there. We tasted two wines for, respectively, $30 and $60 per bottle. We then asked for something else and we got charged $37 per glass. Quite pricey for what was a good but not a great wine. Also I’d like to have known the price in advance. Maybe it escaped the lady who was serving us but it shouldn’t have happened. The setting of the place is modest.

I came down from the Bay Area and had heard about this place called Jeffery’s it’s supposed to have award winning Mac n cheese. We ordered pork ribs and Mac n cheese , first of all the Mac n cheese had no flavor the noodles tasted like they were boiled in plain unsalted water second of all the ribs came to us tepid when we bit into them the texture was off it felt as if the ribs had been boiled or steamed it tasted like they had no seasoning no smoke flavor and very little sauce in fact now that I think about it there was no smell of smoke in the air when we walked up. This epic fail cost me 30$. We had talked about possibly bringing family here for a family dinner but after today that will be a NO GO!! My family would have been totally disappointed I am glad we did a test run first.
