Scottish transplant John Fuller says his little wine bar nestled within the gorgeous grounds of The Promenade apartment complex in Mission Valley is no longer a secret.<\/p>\n

\"Wine,But it used to be while under previous ownership, when only a year ago it was called Tristler\u2019s. Unless you lived in the development, which features a lush, grassy courtyard marked by a tower clock and a large Parisian-like water fountain, only the residents were privy to it.<\/p>\n

Fuller credits social media and the conceptual changes he made to the retail space as the reason why 50 percent of his customers are outsiders.<\/p>\n

Indeed, a patron at The Remedy\u2019s small, intimate bar said he has returned four times since discovering the place a short time ago while working with a remodeling crew for the nearby Marriott Mission Valley.<\/p>\n

While chatting with him, Fuller and a knowledgeable bartender, I started with an Old Chub Scotch Ale by Oskar Blues Brewing Company in Colorado. It\u2019s one of five rotating beers on tap, any of which sells for $4 a glass during happy hour. So popular, I got the tail end of the day\u2019s supply.<\/p>\n

At 8 percent alcohol, it sported a creamy head and nutty brown color, and offered a complex flavor of smoke and chocolate. To my delight, it wasn\u2019t nearly as weighty as other brown ales.<\/p>\n

Fuller previously was a sous chef at The Westgate Hotel and knows his wines. He sells a select number of reds and whites by the glass for $7 during happy hour while stocking an impressive collection of European and California labels by the bottle, which start at $20 and cap off in the $80 range.<\/p>\n

From the discounted food menu, you can score a pair of bruschetta-style tapas for $6; a sprightly salad for $7; and any of several flatbreads for $12.<\/p>\n

I paired a glass of fruit-forward Old Soul petite syrah from Lodi with two of the tapas served over grilled French bread \u2013 prosciutto with manchego cheese and sweet house-made chutney; and the other combining nicoise olives with mushroom tapenade and brie cheese. Both were outstanding.<\/p>\n

Fuller keeps his food offerings succinct.\"Wine,<\/p>\n

\u201cMenus these days are getting too big and it affects the quality of food,\u201d he said in a heavy Scottish brogue while pointing to a board listing his daily entr\u00e9e \u2013 chicken and chick pea dopiaza with basmati rice. Others have included shepherd\u2019s pie, lamb chops, Dover sole and more, with prices ranging from $15 to $40 a plate, should you choose to jump off the happy hour menu.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s also a whiz at making cheesecakes, claiming he has more than 300 types and flavors in his repertoire. Only one version is offered each day for around $7 a slice.<\/p>\n

The Remedy\u2019s interior is quaint, clean and sparsely decorated, greeting with an intimate, social vibe uncommon to Mission Valley establishments.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
