So I happened to be up near SLO on a day trip a few months back and was sent their direction for a late lunch. Amazing little wine bar with a lounge vibe and some knowledgable peeps pouring me the Red...this place renewed my panini fetish...went on a 3 week binge thereafter...nearly had to seek help.
Left with a few bottles of Broadside for the ride home. The experience left me wanting to drive back up again. -

Yum! We go for lunch a lot and everything on the menu is great and tasty. The shop is decorated very hipster cool, they carry Poco Dolce chocolates (which are divine) and they have lots and lots of really good wine. Beer too....a fun place to hang out.

Review from Monica S.
I stumbled across this place while trying to find Broadside! I received a recommendation their Cab was awesome and a great price point, so I tried to call to see where they were located so I could visit. The lady who answered the phone said they didn't have a tasting room, but recommended I visit 15 Degrees C as they usually pour them.
What a great little find! It's tucked away in a little shopping plaza (next to Trader Joe's). They had a great happy hour and poured many local fav's! They opened up a Broadside Cab for me, even though it wasn't on their menu just so I could try it! I liked it and hoped to take a few home but they only had two bottles left in the store! The great thing about small towns is everyone knows everybody! They called the winery to let them know I was interested in more bottles and Broadside offered to ship me 6 more bottles (to San Diego) and waived the shipping fee! Awesome!!!
They had a great cheese plate, which included amazing olives and almonds from Spain! Everyone was very friendly and pleasant! Please visit them if you are ever in the area! -

As someone who moved to Paso after having lived in Boston, and being used to finding gourmet foods at arms length at all times, finding 15C was the like finding an oasis in the middle of the desert. A desert filled with delicious cheeses, pates, wines and misc. fun stuff.
The customer service left something to be desired, and I am not convinced the people who work there know anything about most of the product they are selling, but being someone who knew enough on my own about their product, that did not have all that much of an impact on my experience.Listed in: North County's FInest

Ali has created what is the best wine shop in all of SLO County and in my opinion, the entire Central Coast. This truly is a special place. Everything is thoughtfully done - the killer wine selection (which includes the best International wine selection and some of the best hand picked California wines I have ever seen!), the loungey but uplifiting decor and the plates of food put out of thier teeny-home sized open kitchen. The cheese and meat boards are gorgeous and the sandwiches/salads do not get fresher or more locally grown than these. Do not miss this place if you are visiting the area or if you are a local in SLO who haven't yet made the short 15 min trek over the grade. TRUST ME - It's so worth it!

A week ago a friend of mine took me out to 15 Degrees c and I had a really great time. It was a Thursday, Tapas night from what we were told, and we purchased four glasses of wine, a cheese plate and three bottles of wine. The prices were OK, the service was scrambled and chaotic, but the cheese plate was amazing. They clearly know what they are doing and the server was very knowledgeable, helping me to chose a wine that even a non wine lover like myself would enjoy.
Overall I was pleased and looked forward to going again.
The opportunity presented itself in the form of a close friend coming in from out of town. She wants to wine taste, see a little bit of town and get a snack. I instantly think of 15 Degrees c But my experience this time was much much different.
I ordered the same glass of wine to start with and again, ordered the cheese plate (which I had not stopped thinking of since last week) and was told that they didn't serve other items during themed nights.
Thinking that the server was new or confused, I explained to her that I was there a week ago during tapas night and I was given the cheese plate. She asked the owner who came over herself to let me know that she was much to busy to make me a cheese plate, however if I wanted to order a plate of tapas that would be OK. Or I could wait until she wasn't so busy making tapas then she would make it for me.
I said that was ok, we were there just for the cheese plate. She became very flustered and explained again that she just couldn't be bothered with it but she would make us some tapas....It seems to me that if they had a moment to throw together tiny sandwiches and pea bruschettas, they had time to scape some cheese and olives onto a plate.
It wouldn't have bothered me if it weren't for the terrible attitude that we were approached with. Even after pointing out the sign on their menu board above the register that says: THURSDAYS, CHEESE AND WINE they continued to treat us as if we were idiots for asking and even bigger idiots for not understanding the difference between taking ten minutes to make tapas and ten minutes to make what we ordered.
I was embarrassed that I picked this place to take my friend from out of town when there are other quality wine and cheese shops in the north county. If these people think they can move into town, try and win over locals with this kind of service, I think they will figure out soon that it's not going to work. -

Basically, if you like wine, love wine, or are just learning about wine, visit this shop.. a lot!!! Not only does Ali have a diverse and delicious selection of wines from all over the world, she is also a Sommelier, and loves to share her passion and knowledge of wine with customers.. She also offers classes, workshops, and fun themed nights pairing wine with food.

A wine bar in a strip mall? Say it ain't so Joe! Well, I told Joe that we should check this spot out after our first (and last) night tasting of the day at Summerwood Winery down the street. Give it up to the Yelp iPhone application to tell me where my next wine fix is within 5 miles of a dusty, windy road in the middle of nowhere. Hurrah!
This is a great little spot, I'd work if I could! It's a wine market, bar and place to shoot the sh*t with the locals, talk about wine and nibble on a cheese plate or panini. They sell chocolate, wine accessories, local micro brews, all the must have's for a quirky little dinner party in the Central Coast.
We sat at the bar and I had a glass of an Austrailian shiraz I believe (it was a while ago). It was a hearty pour, a nice big glass and great to sip while we took our break before driving down to Goleta.
They are open til 9 I think. It's not the place where you go to camp out for the night or "sit at the bar", but if you're doing your local shopping, need a break, a glass of wine or a bottle, this is the place to go. The staff attends events up and the down the West Coast and is indeed abreast of what's going on in the wine world today. Their bathroom is pretty cool too, heh. -
Review from Joe B.

It was strange to find such a cool little wine bar / wine knick-knack store in the middle of a shopping center after dark in the Central Coast. Not normally a place where you'd find a wine bar and a well-stocked wine and wine tchotchke store all wrapped up in one. It's a true oenophile's place, with locals coming to sample the area's best during the day or after work. I think it's the proximity to a Trader Joe's that really makes it work - why not get your wine geek on after a TJs trip?
We had a nice Australian Shiraz and a local pinot at the bar if memory serves. I waited a little too long to review, so I can't give details, but I can say I was impressed by both, even after a day of wine tasting.Listed in: Central Coast Wino Tours!

The wine selection and cheeses are delicious.

SUPER TURBO ONE THOUSAND TIP!!
Go there for happy hour, we had a darn tooting good time!
A friendly, hip joint.
In my opinion, this is the best joint for finding unique wine in the North County. I've been to the rest, and the selection at 15' seems to have the most interesting variety. They have a good variety of Wines, champagnes, beers and cheese ranging from 'affordable' to 'higher end'.
You Must Read the following:
After years of wine tasting, I have finally come to the conclusion that not all wine is created equal.. just because a wine is 40 bucks does not make it good. ..gasp!.. there are bottles a quarter the price and much better tasting.. The trick is to ask. One of the best things about 15' is the staff. Make sure to bend their ears about your needs. We have been steered to some very stellar wines in ALL [yes ALL] budgets. We would have completely passed on some of these gems because we never heard of them. Always ask first!
Fight your way into the parking lot, do your shopping at Trader Joes, get a nice wine at 15', and get a fresh piece of sea bass at the fish market. You can't beat an evening like that.
Cheers,

I had heard rave reviews about 15c so we drove all the way from Nipomo to check this place out. I was not disappointed what so ever! The service was so friendly and fantastic! The variety of wines was eclectic- from Africa to France to Argentina and Italy and back home. We sat at the tasting bar and had the Spanish Tapas Platter- followed by the Chocolate Plate (yum!)
They have a wide variety of hip gifts (from gourmet salts to blind wine tasting sets). I certainly found more than I anticipated! -

The happy hour here is a great deal, went with some co-workers. It was ridiculously busy and everyone seemed comfortable and friendly.
They have an impressive selection of bottles here, but these are pricey! I just like the $3 beer and wine. -

Hello everyone,
Today I stopped in 15C for the first time and was truly impressed. I could not believe the worldly and local collection of wines (and beer) this store had. All at great prices as well. We ordered a cheese and meat plate that was perfectly paired with delicious wines. The service was both helpful and attentive, they really know what they are doing. I will not pass Templeton without stopping!! -

Love this place! I work in Solvang and live in Arroyo Grande. My friend introduced me to this place a few months ago. I would never have thought just off the the 101 in Templeton there would be such a wonderful place. I would stop here everyday if it was on my way home from work! Ali and Tajin are the BEST! The wine selection is awesome. Thursdays are always a great night to stop in and have the spanish tapas and a flight of wine. My favorite though is the cheese boards and the housemade Chicken Liver Pate. Holy Cow Batman its the best EVER! If your going wine tasting in Paso, stop in and get some gourmet cheese and meats to take along. Another favorite of mine is the duck salami. The only thing that could make this place better is if Ali opens another location in SLO for all of us south county folks......just sayin.... : )

Review from Karine L.
BEST WINE SHOP/BAR EVER!!
This place feels like home, owner Ali knows her stuff, believe me!
I would recommend asking her for recommendation and you will be amazingly surprised! I always go there without any wine in mine and just ask her to pick something for me and WOW, she is always on it!
What I like about this place is that it is mainly small production wine that you know about or don't have access. She also support the local wine which is awesome! So often you will see wine makers, winery owners walk in and get some bottle of wine to try out and just to drink on the spot. And you would never know that these people actually are wine people coming in dressed casually. This is truly the best spot, sitting at the bar, enjoying good company, good wine and fresh and tasty food. Their cheese, olives and baguette are delicious. My favorite meal is the vegetarian bocadillos, it's the best! I also love to get the cheese and charcuterie plate and I like the fact that I can just walk in front of the cheese fridge and tell them which ones I want or want to try.
Also they have all kind of goodies for the wine lovers, bought my wine aerator there, it works so good!
I CAN'T wait for them to expand to the L.A. area!! Even though it won't be good for my wallet!! ;)
Salud! -

Review from Teri B.

We were greeted warmly with eclectic green walls and a beautiful space with an anthology of wine from all over the world. We were lucky that day to taste some Cruvinét, a sample of rare varietals from all over the world. I explained that we hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so she graced us with a Spanish Cava with Crème de Casis and fresh blueberries. Thus a Wino's breakfast.
We sauntered on to a dish called 7 Plate, a variety of meat and cheeses served with slice Hush Harbor Baguette and an array of accoutrements. It was beyond phenomenal. The presentation of each dish was perfection ranging from a sensible wood blank to a ceramic swirl bowl to a gorgeous bread plate. The cheese was as vast and different as the wines that came with them to taste. Goat Gouda Blue was in Mr. Bayus, words "Drop your drawers good." The Rincoita Sheep, Domestic Age Goat, Manchego, Saint George, and Mimolette were beyond first-class. The Prosciutto Americana, Salami, Savory Shortbread, Organic Apples, Picante Olives, Spanish Almonds, and Truffle Honey complemented every cheese and were a delight to mix and match. What made this simple meal so good is that the girls explained every ingredient to us, thus making it special and giving you the knowledge of what to order and how to mix it for the most palette-pleasing event. These women know their wine and fine foods. It was a culinary delight.
My favorite restaurant is the A.O.C. in Hollywood and it takes an act of God or knowing someone to get in there, plus it is all the way in L.A., I am here to say, 15 Degrees C, is just as good with their tapas and wine selection.
With each flight we tried different and rare varietals including an Organic Santa Julia Torrontes, and Allan Scott Pinot Noir from New Zealand, a Donati Cabernet Franc (which was my favorite and I am sipping now as I write) and an Juan Gil Junilla red wine from Spain. It was all new, fabulous, and unexpected. Each person at the bar was treated to the proprietor's knowledge of food, wine and beer, it was impressive.
Gary wanted to try the Salt Plate, which I had never seen offered anywhere. It was three kinds of rare salts served with Plugra butter and sliced baguette. You slathered up the bread with butter and then sprinkled the salt on top. The flavors included Girl of Fig Lavender, Greek Cypress Black Lava, and Truffle. I can say it was remarkable and brought out the flavors in the wine.
Next, we went for Ports and the Chocolate Plate. This was a beautiful swirled plate with Chocolate from Recchiuti (San Francisco- Ferry Building) with insides springing alive in your mouth with Meyer's lemon and passion fruit. There was dark chocolate with raspberry made by Jessica Foster, and English biscuit of honey almond, Recchiuti fudge, and organic Hawaiian honey. I thought Gary was going to detonate. The J. Dusi Port was the finishing touch and we would have stayed all day, but Gary started telling Sea Lion Stories and I hustled him to the car.
15 Degrees C has all kinds of special events, I am so impressed with the knowledge, palette, and presentation at 15 Degrees C -

So disappointed in this place! My wife and I read the very positive reviews before hitting our road trip up the coast and this was something we were looking forward to while visiting Paso Robles. First, we roll up and it is in kind of a strip mall location--not a big deal though. We walk in and it is more of a wine shop with a restaurant on the side. I envisioned the opposite--not a big deal though. Then we wait for about 25 minutes at the bar and no one comes by to take our drink order--now thats kind of a big deal. We had come for their Tapas Thursday, and while the bar was crowded, we had seats while waiting. What bothered me next was 2 things. #1, all the food was already prepared and piled high on plates on the bar. I am talking shrimp and stuff too. I actually saw some people helping themselves and thought this was a weird thing--community tapas? I later saw they just plate you up off the bar plates, but the food is sitting there exposed and there are randoms drinking/breathing a foot away which I think is kind of gross! #2, this couple next to us had been waiting for awhile also and the female was getting rightfully annoyed. All of a sudden a young lady comes up to them and asks if they had been wine tasting that day. The guy says 'yes' and she immediately told them they would not be served and they had to leave! It got my attention cause I had been wine tasting that day and I assumed everyone else had too in there! We ARE in wine country! The female might have been a little tipsy, but not impaired by any standard, and the guy seemed very coherent to me. He explained he was driving mostly and had not drank much. Then a busboy rolled up behind them and told them very loudly they both looked hammered, or something to that effect. I felt embarrassed for them. The two employees would not move till they exited. And they did. That was enough for me. Maybe this place is for locals, it is in Templeton. Maybe they don't care for tourist biz. Maybe it was an off night, but they certainly did nothing to warrant me coming back.

We discovered 15c when we opened our place nearby, and OMG I am totally impressed not only with their wine knowledge but their food as well- I am an absolute cheese tray addict, and the little yummy herby bread that they serve along with it is like something you covet and turn your back when somebody else is eyeballing the stuff. I feel like a spoiled rotten child when I have that tray. I don't let anybody else in. HA and they make it to go also... so "the bomb"!!

We've been going to 15C since it opened. Every visit is a pleasure. Ali and her staff are ALWAYS friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The wine selection is absolutely phenomenal. The cheese selection is amazing. For the beer lovers, there a substantial selection of standard imports and quirky micro brews. We usually look for the most unusual names and take them home to try. Sitting at the bar after a long day, sipping a nice glass of wine, snacking on a beautiful cheese and meat tray and visiting with the staff and fellow patrons is a great way to end your day. The pours a always generous, the meat and cheese trays are beautifully arranged and paired to the wine you are drinking. Want a really special treat? Visit 15C on a Friday and order champagne and a tray of oysters...amazing! They call the order in to Pier 46 Seafood Market which is across the parking lot. The oysters are always freshly shucked then arranged by the gang at 15C on a bed of ice and served with lemon, fresh horseradish, wine and shallots and cocktail sauce on the side. So yummy! 15C is a gem and we wish we could award more than 5 stars!

For wine tasting I prefer to go out to a winery, but a benefit of tasting here would be that you do not have to taste only local wines so there is more variety. I have tasted wine here and thought that the pours were very small. They have events with food and wine which are fun but very expensive and I have left hungry. The cheese selection is good.
