    Should you go? YES. This place is fun and the wine is GREAT. Add the cheese plate, try a flight of 2 oz selections and go eat somewhere else. Easily 4 stars, almost 5, but well worth the visit.

    As a tourist I asked Yelp expert and local Shanna K. and she suggested SOIF. Great choice Shanna! It's located in the heart of downtown. I made a reservation, parked two hours early and enjoyed walking "keep Santa Cruz weird" Pacific Avenue shopping area. We saw some weird things, for sure, like strange clowns, bongo players not taking money, some hippies sitting in the back of a pickup truck looking at us looking at them, a guy in a donkey outfit, Hell's Angels, joggers going backwards, and plenty of stores with wild weird things.

    SOIF chairs and tables are somewhat Spartan as is the decor, but the help is helpful and well versed in wine. You get a HUGH amount of printer matter with lots of choices (five pages printed front and back). Ignore it. Here is the $50 worth of SOIF best bet. Order the $14 Artisan Cheese Plate and the $5 Marinated Olives. Ask the waiter to select three white 2 oz tastes for you and three different ones for your significant other. No entrees, no desert.

    Excellent Wine and Food: Creative menu of tasty foods, not a huge menu but food is prepared beautifully. The wine list is awesome...pricey but really good.
