The Miramar-based business was able to do so in Normal Heights in 2017 but faced major opposition from city officials and police when attempting to do so in Ocean Beach. So much that it was forced to abandon the space it secured after investing a significant amount of money in rent and tenant improvements. Undeterred, they started look for an alternate site and found it in downtown San Diego\u2019s East Village neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt took us a year to rebound from Ocean Beach, but we believe we will find redemption with our East Village location and we will resume our planned pace of opening approximately one tasting room every nine months or so,\u201d says Greg. \u201cEast Village is an awesome neighborhood and still going through a lot of changes. In a few years, we see it as being one of the best neighborhoods in San Diego for residents and businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-21494\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/archives.csusm.edu\/westcoastersd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/image1-1.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/archives.csusm.edu\/westcoastersd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/image1-1.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/archives.csusm.edu\/westcoastersd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/image1-1.jpeg?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Located at <strong>545 Park Boulevard<\/strong>, the space comes in at 1,300 square feet.
