  Jeff S. and I wandered in here after lunch, because... well... we needed more wine!  And wine this place has!  Lots of it.  The owner took care of us, and was very friendly and extremely knowledgable.  I can't quite remember the cost of the tastings (wine will do that to you...) but I remember it being very affordable, especially with the quality we were getting.  He even threw in an extra tasting of Chardonnay, to try to convert us (which I didn't hate!).  
  
  Definitely a must-see for you wine-o's out there.  Plenty of reasonably priced bottles, as well as the expensive "good stuff" (aka $60 Chateau nuf de Pape, that was AMAZING, btw).  And for the record, they DO have a bathroom.

  Great spot in Tiburon.  We were wandering through the town after lunch and stopped in upon seeing a sign that read "wine tasting".  That's how we roll.  The owner, whose name I forget, was very energetic and welcoming and gave us some great wines to try.  He even slid an extra one in upon hearing that neither of us liked chardonnay, and while I can't say that I'm now a convert, I definitely did like what he poured.
  
  The shop is small but has a great selection, and our host was very knowledgeable and eager to share information.  Lacey M. grabbed a bottle of Chateau nuf de Pape that he recommended, and when we cracked it open the next night we were not disappointed.
  
  This was a fun hour we spent here, and I honestly didn't want to leave.  Guess that means I'll have to come back!

  Adorable, fantastic little wine bar off Ark row in Downtown Sausalito.  Doc Champagne, the guy who runs the wine selection, does an incredible job finding gems and recommending to your palette.  Awesome spot, don't miss when you are visiting for the day.  As for the locals... see you back there soon! =)

  We were really excited to try Main Street Wine Bar out, and won't be going back.
  
  Today's menu:
  
  $8 per glass = happy hour
  $1 for tap water
  $18 for cheese plate featuring a single sample of goat cheese
  
  -Lovely space, but no bathroom or view.
  
  -Wine menu was very limited (1 sparkling, 3 white, 3 red, 1 rose) no prices listed on the menu for wines, so you'll have to do a bit of hunting.
  
  -Bottles on the wall, available at cost + $10 corkage fee, looked interesting, but the two employees working were fixated on their computer and didn't seem to have availability to walk through the list, which also wasn't printed.
  
  -Website says that parking is validated, but on site it was not.
  
  Hoping things improve for these guys!
