"It's just a fun hangout where people can sample local wine and beer, grab a bite and watch a game. We appeal to many types of customers," Nick says. The family considered opening a traditional tasting room on the Monterey Peninsula, but ultimately opted to stay close to home.

It's something we're really proud of," says Nick. For menus and more information on 101 Wine Press, please visit www.101winepress.com.
