This past Sunday, generosity filled the air at Auto Vino’s Cars & Cabernet!

Thanks to our fantastic car enthusiast community and the wonderful residents of San Carlos and surrounding areas, we collected many toys for the Toys for Tots program.

A heartfelt thank you goes to Menlo Park Fire Station 1, which has participated in the Toys for Tots program since the 1960s. This remarkable initiative, started by a group of Marines in 1947, continues to bring joy to children year after year.

Today, the Fire Department arrived to collect the donations, filling their trailer with toys. These toys will be taken to St. Anthony’s in Redwood City, where they will be sorted so each child can find their perfect gift later this week.

Thank you to everyone who contributed; you made this possible. Your help made the holidays brighter for many!

Embracing a Legacy of Giving: Toys for Tots at Auto Vino

Since 1947, Toys for Tots has brought holiday joy to children in need, thanks to the dedication of Marine Reservists who created this program.

The Menlo Park Fire Department has proudly supported this mission since the 1960s, working with local organizations to make a difference.

One of its leaders, Dave Bragg, captain of Station 1 in Menlo Park and a Marine combat veteran, exemplifies the spirit of service that defines Toys for Tots. His commitment inspires Auto Vino's efforts this year.

Auto Vino is honored to host Cars & Cabernet: Toy Drive Edition on December 15th, our final event of the year.

If you have yet to experience Cars & Cabernet, this festive season is the perfect opportunity to join us.

Discover rare and exotic cars, enjoy gourmet food, and savor wine while making a meaningful impact.

Discover Auto Vino's Menu: New Wines, Gourmet Dishes, and Perfect Pairings

We are excited to introduce three new wines now featured on our menu. These selections have been carefully chosen to enhance your dining experience, whether you are a loyal customer who loves our menu or visiting us for the first time.

2020 Pinot Grigio: Crisp, light, and refreshing.
2020 Viognier: Aromatic, silky, and versatile.
2012 Nebbiolo-Dolcetto: Bold, earthy, and complex.

Our wines complement pizzas, sandwiches, salads, and charcuterie, catering to diverse tastes. You can enjoy these pairings during Friday lunches or at our weekend wine tastings, which take place from 12 to 4 p.m.

Here's a closer look at how these new wines enhance our menu:

🍕 Neapolitan Pizzas

Margherita | Paired with 2020 Pinot Grigio
The crisp, citrusy notes of Pinot Grigio brighten the fresh tomato and basil, while its light body balances the creamy mozzarella without overpowering it. This is a classic pairing for a classic pizza.

The Auto Vino | Paired with 2020 Viognier
With bold toppings like jalapeños, roasted peppers, and pepperoni, the Auto Vino pizza finds harmony in Viognier's subtle sweetness and smooth texture. It tames the heat while enhancing the smoky flavors.

🥪 Gourmet Sandwiches

Tri-Tip Sandwich | Paired with 2012 Nebbiolo-Dolcetto
The bold tannins and earthy notes of Nebbiolo-Dolcetto complement the rich tri-tip steak and tangy blue cheese, making each bite even more satisfying.

Salmon Sandwich | Paired with 2020 Viognier
Viognier's floral and fruity profile mirrors the sweetness of the honey marinade on the salmon, while its smooth body complements the garlic and soy flavors.

🥗 Fresh Salads

Hamburger or Cheeseburger Salad | Paired with 2012 Nebbiolo-Dolcetto

The wine's robust tannins balance the beef's richness, while its subtle acidity brightens the fresh kale base, creating a perfectly balanced pairing.

Salmon Salad | Paired with 2020 Viognier
This pairing highlights Viognier's elegance. Its floral notes enhance the marinade's garlic and herbs while bringing out the freshness of the greens.

🍷 Charcuterie Board | Paired with 2020 Viognier
Viognier's versatility makes it the perfect partner for various flavors, from salty prosciutto to creamy Brie and sweet jams. Its aromatic complexity enhances every bite.

Join us this weekend to discover how our new wines enhance our gourmet menu. Whether you're here for pizza, sandwiches, or salads, Auto Vino has a delightful pairing waiting for your taste buds!

11/19/2024

At Auto Vino, we create authentic Neapolitan-style pizza with passion and precision. Our dough can rest for 48 hours, developing rich, complex flavors and an irresistibly light, airy texture. Baked in a blazing 900-degree oak wood oven, each pizza is a smoky, bubbling masterpiece that pairs wonderfully with our gourmet menu.

Join us for weekend wine tastings on Saturdays and Sundays from 12 PM to 4 PM, with lunch served from 12 PM to 1:30 PM. Come and savor the artistry of exceptional food and wine at Auto Vino.
