The Real Deal Marin Wine Bar
Oct 20th, 2008 by Alana
What makes Rick’s the ideal wine shop & bar?
It has it all…a wine shop with quality selections and advice from Rick; a welcoming energy that invites you to linger; half-glasses and spot-on pricing; cozy enough where you can easily meet people or talk quietly with a friend; wine served in the perfect Riedel Sommeliers glass (untouched by chlorinated water, filtered-only please), carefully chosen top-shelf meats and cheeses sliced in front of you and served with Bremer crackers (because they are sugarless and sugar in crackers “can ruin wine”); stunning photo art and nice people.
If I am going out with a wine or foodie type, I go to Rick’s. His meticulousness results in an experience that is a perfect pairing in every way. Go check it out.

Yummm…the pannini pairing sounds like another date at Rick’s!
Rick is commited to providing his customers excellent wine choices at moderate prices. I really appreciate the half glass option. His meat and cheese plate was so generous, we couldn’t finish it, but he carefully packed a to go box, and insisted we also take the crackers, because we “would be looking for these” later. He and his wife make you feel so welcome and at home, it’s t he kind of place where you immediately feel like a “regular”. I cannot wait to try his pannini with whatever he suggests as the perfect wine pairing.
