“Some of the most interesting wine experience in San Diego can be found in… places like The 3rd Corner Wine Shop and Bistro… The Kitchen is tiny but creative, producing a menu of small plates such as mussels baked in white wine and a mahi-mahi with panko and jalapeno lime aioli that rivals the best seafood in town. Best of all is the wine program, diners can order any bottle in the shop at retail price plus $5 corkage. You’ll find collector items in the wine vault behind the bar, and hundreds of selections from around the world are scattered around the shop… It’s off the beaten path in Ocean Beach, but 3rd Corner is worth seeking out because the concept is so refreshing.”
