I went here for the first time to meet up with two girlfriends, and we were very happy with our choice. Burgundy has great happy hour specials, a solid wine selection, a menu with both appetizers and full meals, and inexpensive flights so you can try a few new things.
It was a nice place to go with a group of girlfriends, but given that all three of us kept commenting on how romantic the setting was, the best occasion for this place is probably date night.
On the other hand, there is a huge outdoor patio that will probably become a scene when the weather is warmer, and I could see getting a big group together to enjoy the wine and sunshine.

Paso Robles comes to San Diego
So, I have totally been slacking with the blog, and not for lack of material - there are a ton of great wine-related things happening in San Diego. However, I was inspired to get cracking again after an event I went to yesterday.
About 40 winemakers from the Paso Robles area came to San Diego this week as part of the Grand Tasting Tour, a series of tastings, winemaker dinners, and seminars designed to connect Paso winemakers with San Diego residents. I went to the trade tasting event in Point Loma to interview reps from some wineries that I am going to be profiling as part of my new gig as a freelance reporter for a local San Diego newspaper group (another reason I have been a blog-slacker).
For some of theses wineries, San Diego is the largest restaurant account for several of the wineries I talked to, which means there is huge demand for Paso wines in America's Finest City. Here are some of the highlights from the people I talked to:
