In the middle of San Diego’s coolest beach community sits the consummate, perfect-fit for an urban winery and tasting room — Gianni Buonomo. Ocean Beach is a colorful collection of character studies, and it’s home to a star group of high-quality wines, mostly old world and mostly sourced from the great wine country of Washington. First a word about the name. Buonuomo means “good man” in Italian, in the Northern region of Piemonte. Though not flashy, he always wears fashionable shirts, pants, shined shoes and a Fedora hat.
