Visiting Angels' Share is a rare special treat for wine lovers. My visit confirmed the shop's "best of" awards and I highly recommend you go. You will be warmly greeted and assisted with your selection from the handpicked stock. Check their website calendar for special tastings, relax at the cafe tables and plan to stay awhile to enjoy some finger foods with your wine.
I saw Angel's Share on Yelp back in February and was able to stop by last Friday during a family visit to Modesto. My wife and I were greeted by Shanna M. I mentioned Yelp and she introduced us to Chuck and Laura, the owners. We felt at home pretty quickly and, by luck, had arrived just in time for a Young's Vineyard tasting.
My wife told Chuck we tried some port wine at a restaurant recently but did not know which would be a good buy. Chuck showed us his carefully selected offerings, explained the three types and took us back to the bar for a tasting of several. We picked two: Justin Vineyards Obtuse Port Paso Robles (2006, half bottle) and St. Amant Bootleg Port, Amador County (2005, half bottle).
We asked Chuck about how the shop came about. He described the love of wines shared with Laura and their decision 20 years before to open a wine shop where they could share their passion for fine wines with others. I was very impressed with the great selections available for purchase and appreciative of the helpful knowledge shared by everyone on the staff.
A visit to Angel's Share is a remarkable experience. We picked up several other wines to bring back to San Diego and will remember our visit as each bottle is opened. Thanks you Jill, Shanna, Laura and Chuck for the wonderful time and all the help picking these great wines:
Frogs Leap Winery Sauvignon Blanc (also served at Crocodile Cafe Fashion Valley)
Acadia Winery Chardonnay (served at San Diego's Prado Restaurant)
Frog's Tooth Winery Meritage (limited to 200 cases, Calaveras County)
Young's Vineyard Barbara 2006 (selected from the tasting event during our visit on Friday) -

Ok, I might be a bit biased because I work at Angel's Share, but I am also a customer. The environment provided by Chuck and Laura is so relaxed and full of fun I come in on my days off! The customers are warm and friendly and on most nights a bottle or two will be shared. My husband Bryan was not into wine 6 month ago, but with the availability to try different wines from the wine bar, he has acquired quite a palate for BIG Cabernet's and if he isn't in the mood for wine he has 180 beers to choose from. He is drinking his way to 100 different beers to get his name on the plaque.

History
Established in 2007
Chuck & Laura began a love affair with both each other and wine in 1991. During their honeymoon, Laura's father took them wine tasting for the first time at York Mountain Winery in Paso Robles, CA. Ever since then, they have both been enthralled with wine of all types, varietals, and appellations.
