A Visit to PS Wine

Both John and I consider ourselves to be casual wine connoisseurs, which basically means that we like wine- we drink what we like, but we aren't wine snobs. I don't memorize ratings and reviews from Wine Spectator magazine, but I have been known to read it from time to time.
When it comes to wine, we have our favorites and make the pilgrimage to northern California’s wine country several times per year. But right here in Palm Springs we have a wonderful little wine shop called PS Wine, where there is a great selection of wines, a tasting bar, and some café tables too. I stopped in with cousins Peg and Rich after seeing the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies, which is a post for another day. We were heading to an early dinner at Copley’s and had some time to kill before our reservation, so we popped into PS Wine for a glass of wine. We chatted with Paulette, the proprietor who is knowledgeable and friendly. She has built a nice community of customers in the Palm Springs area who enjoy the social aspect of wine.
I enjoyed a refreshing glass of perfectly chilled Chardonnay on what was a hot afternoon in the desert. As I sipped the wine I perused Paulette’s collection of wines. Sometimes just reading labels can be fun. I have to remember to go back there more often, it’s a fun place. For those of you locals interested in visiting PS Wine, they are located at 188 S. Indian Canyon. Call Paulette at (760) 322-4411

Soon my glass was empty, signaling that it was time to head to our dinner reservation at Copley’s. I’ve written about Copley’s many times here- it’s one of our favorites here in Palm Springs. Being the foodie that I am, I couldn’t resist sharing a few photos of our entrees. (Greg- once again, another delicious meal!).
