Toast Wine Lounge: Ambiance to Spare

Oakland, CA – Dining outdoors on a crisp November evening under a heat lamp at a bistro table while drinking a glass of wine is my idea of California dreamin’.  Toast Wine Lounge on College Avenue offers hand-selected wines, small plates and ambiance to spare.   I recommend the Seam Wines 2008 Barbera from Calaveras County:  a bold berry with a strong finish.  Cheers to Toast.
