This darling little wine shop is one that I have visited on a few occasions. Small lovely place in a quaint little area of San Dimas where friends gather to enjoy good conversation and a variety of tasty wines without having to venture to the Napa Valley or Temecula.
My visits were always during the Spring and Summer months. I always had a lovely time. However, during the Fall and Winter months, the weather is not always accommodating for those patrons who enjoy sitting on the cozy patio. Jerry and Heidi Daniels (father and daughter) are owners who recognized this and opted to keep their patrons welcomed by installing a canopy to ward off the elements to those who enjoyed the outside.
"What's the harm?", you ask? The canopy is unpermitted. The canopy has come down because city officials have threatened to take the landlord to court, and Ms. Daniels has taken ownership of the spat with City Hall, opting not to bring the landlord into the equation.
It seems the canopy is in violation of city zoning codes, and in an effort to maintain clientele, Ms. Daniels previously refused to take the canopy down. The Planning Commission is well aware that the code is in need of amendments, but is adamant in their quest for prosecution.
