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.

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.

Yummm…the pannini pairing sounds like another date at Rick’s!
