Esters Wine Shop & Bar

Light, bright and airy, Esters is the wine-oriented outpost of the Rustic Canyon Family, one of the most prolific restaurant groups in Santa Monica. Here, alongside a delicious market-driven food menu, in-house sommelier Randall Middleton oversees a selection of over 250 wines that include everything from unique small producers to tried-and-true classics. Those who'd rather order by the glass will find about 20, with France, Italy, Spain and the U.S. all represented through the thoughtful selection. On Sundays, Esters also offers up a rotating flight of four wines for those looking to up their wine knowledge.
