Augustine Wine Bar - Considered One of the Top Wine Bars in the US - Is Closing in December . .

Saw this on IG last night.

They had a huge fire and it took them nearly 2 years to deal with insurance and rebuild - which they did, and reopened in 2025. It was a warm and fantastic spot catering to all types - but they were probably best known for their chalkboard featuring pours of older wines (and in many cases, 50+ year old bottles).

Their reasoning for closing is based on an ‘honest assessment of where the business stands today, we’ve come to the conclusion that it’s simply no longer financially sustainable to continue.’

Such a bummer . . .

That sucks, great place

Ahhh, that’s a huge bummer! I’ve never had the opportunity to go but it was definitely super high on my list. The BTG pours of old cali wines looked incredible :cry:

I believe one of the owners recently posted on WB about Ritchie Creek vineyard

The best wine bar
