Drinking in a Wine Shop

Jack London Square in Oakland is the area where you can enjoy many kinds of restaurants and ocean view.
We weren't planning to dine here this day, but just walking around this area was relaxing.

There were high-end restaurants, small bar whose floor was leaning toward the back (some kind of damage to the foundation, I heard), and a bowling alley/beer garden called Plank.

This place had not only bowling alley, but also bocce and kids playground.
Everybody can enjoy the games, or grab a glass of beer and enjoy watching people playing.

When we were walking toward the car, we saw a wine shop and decided to check out.
The shop is called MINIMO.

They focus on sustainably made wines from small producers.

The shop is clean and bright.
Wines are clearly organized so that you can find what you are looking for easily.
They don't have overwhelming numbers of selections, but if you don't have a specific bottle in your mind, it's easy to choose what to drink this way.

There are tables and bar counter and you can open and drink if you buy a bottle (or two) of wine here.
They said that this place could get quite busy weekday evenings.

It sounded fun, so we bought a bottle and opened it at the bar.
This is the wine we chose: Domaine de Grisy Bourgogne Cotes d'Auxerre Chardonnay 2015

Cotes d'Auxerre is an AC near Chablis, so I expected this to have high, sharp acid, but this wine's acid was very soft.
It was like sweet white flower. Fruity and creamy, and very drinkable.
$17 is a good deal, I think.

JC said that this would be good with simple flavor seafood like Sashimi.
We brought the rest of the wine back home and tried it with salty pate.
It made the wine taste very alcoholic.
Then had very mild, almost bland Swiss cheese. Wine tasted much better with it.
I can see this wine would go very good with Sashimi. Maybe Sea Bream...?
