Our Take

McClain Cellars' moody candlelit corner and curated natural wine list are doing the quiet work of making Laguna Beach's wine scene feel genuinely sophisticated. It's a charming, character-rich spot — the score reflects real quality that a growing and enthusiastic audience is just beginning to spread the word about.
