Liquid Wine & Spirits

So this past year I’ve been trying every top rated IPA I could find. When I couldn’t find those in the top 20 I decided to check this place out. Sure enough they had everything I was looking for. Headed back tomorrow to get some great beers to enjoy with good friends. Service is great. Selection is second to none. Well worth the trip.

Pete has been the best source for wine and spirit advice I have found in the last 15 years. It doesn’t matter if it’s great Cabs, rums, Syrahs, Vodka, Craft beer or other wine/​liquor; they have never steered me wrong. They have a much more sophisticated inventory than the chain stores and I usually get a heads up months if not years ahead of the pack when a truly great new winery or vintage within a label comes out. If you need hard to find small case runs, they have it. If you need restaurant-​centric labels that you can’t find in stores, they can usually get it (if it’s not already on a shelf). If you’re serious about high-​end wines and spirits, this is your only stop.

When I’m on the way to party, I always stop by here to pick up myself a little something, something! Lots of unique beers, wines and hard liquor. You can’t go wrong.
Prices are about average, but less than other liquor stores.
The folks that work here are kind. Always friendly and talkative. They are knowledgeable, give you honest feedback and will tell you whether or not something is worth it. I like and appreciate their integrity.

I came here to buy whiskey for a buddy and they had a very rare bottle that work great as a gift. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Love this place! I came in trying to track down a rare beer for my dad. The person working behind the counter immediately knew what I was talking about. He said he believed he had been out for awhile, but decided to check in the back anyway. Sure enough, he found 2 bottles from an order that no one had picked up. Score for me! He was extremely friendly and helpful and said if there was anything I was ever looking for he could help me out. That’s the type of customer service I love! (I just wish I remembered the gentleman’s name).
I’m just glad I live down the street. I now know I can just walk on over and pick up a good brew.

Peter really knows the wines and encourages us to try new things. We also like the selection of craft beers. A great asset to the Chatsworth community! The prices are good too.

Okay so here is a review on 2 fronts…
First, I am a frequent customer of the retail shop and always feel I get great value in all the wines and beers I purchase. Peter and his staff are always accommodating and willing to help in whatever wt they can.
Second, we used their catering service to supply, deliver, and pick up all the beer and alcohol for our Daughter’s wedding at an outdoor venue. They eliminated all the stress and took care of everything! Dawn was our lead person and was absolutely fabulous! I could not have been happier. Liquid took out all the worry and provided a seamless service for our event. I would totally recommend them!

Good selection especially if you’re looking for tequila. I got Hennessey black for pretty cheap and the service was very good. Both guys were very friendly and helpful. I would like to go back and explore their selection.

I’ve beed dealing with LWS for over 15 years and always a great experience. Has the high end wines like Screaming Eagle, Kistler, Harlan and Scarecrow. midline HQ wines as well as a low priced, quality finds area in store under $ 20.00.
They also got the stellar craft beer selection from heaven. Most are ice cold too!
Peter and Steve are always helpful with selection of what my needs are. These guys also cater events like weddings, conventions and Parties so you’ll never get stuck with an insipid wine because the store personel tastes most of what they sell and recommend based on quality for the buck.

This review is for the beer selection, because that’s my particular area of interest.
I don’t write many Unilocal reviews, generally I don’t have anything to add that hasn’t already been said. But for a local, high quality establishment that brings something positive to the neighborhood, it’s worth my effort to support them.
True, it doesn’t look like much from outside. I lived in Chatsworth my whole life and only discovered it last year on a recommendation from my brother. Now that I’ve been inside, it’s the only place I’ll go in the area.
The selection as of this writing is awesome. They have loads of stuff I’ve never seen at the warehouse retailers, Green Jug /​Vendome included. I usually walk in looking for a nice drink for that night, and walk out with a case of beers from around the world that I’ve never even heard of. I think those who say the selection isn’t that great probably visited a good long while ago, because the selection today is just about world class, in my opinion. Or they’re looking for 2012 Grey Mondays or 5-​year cellared Cantillons or other crap you just don’t find on shelves at *any* store.
Bear in mind they occupy two small spots in a strip mall. They can only fit so much in there. If you’re looking for one specific beer, they might not have it. They only have so much space, after all. To their credit, they waste no space on crap beer. One cooler in here is worth a whole wall of stuff at Green Jug, BevMo, etc. Not knocking the big guys, but here, with their limited space, they only put something on the shelf if they think you (or someone) is *really* going to like it. They have faith in their clientele not to be looking for ‘safe’ buys, so they don’t pad the shelves with a lot of Blue Moon or Sierra Nevada or stuff like that. (Not that Blue or Sierra are crap, but you can get them at gas stations alongside Micheladas and crap these days for crying out loud.)
I haven’t learned the guys’ names because I’m shy, but I have asked for recommendations and been led aright 100% of the time. One time I was trying to figure out how to get my beers home because I got too many, and the guy helping me went out of his way to help me pack it all in cases and get it on my bike (long story) safely. You might have to ask to get their attention, though, sometimes they are shy (or legitimately busy) as well. But they have never ignored me or been rude.
I’ve been happy with the prices. I haven’t done a side-​by-​side comparison with anyplace else, but when I look at the tags, I’m always thinking «this is reasonable» or «this beer is out of my league,» never «who do they think they’re kidding».
The only thing I’d change about this place if it were me, is I’d swap out some wine inventory for more beer coolers. ;) And I do wish they were open later, but I understand … if I worked there, I’d of course wish they closed earlier. ;) ;) ;)
Anyway, glad to see such an awesome beer source in the (north)west valley. No complaints, much praise. Keep it up!

All I can say right now is this:
I am incredibly stoked that I am walking distance from Liquid after my relocation out here from HB. My first two visits were great and these guys helped ease my concern that I’d miss my two awesome spots down in Huntington & Costa Mesa. Looking forward to many more visits.

A hidden and not so well known place to buy craft beer in the West Valley.
I visited the store after the beer manager at Whole Foods recommended I check this place out.
Craft beer selection is not out of the ordinary at the time of my visit not what you can find at Valley Beverage, Vendome, or Green Jug, but is a good place if you live in the area to pick up some craft beer.

Pete and Steve are incredible… as is their store. These guys took care of bar services for corporate events that I arranged. They always did a great job, at a great price. They also make terrific gift baskets. Plus, they can reccommend what’s best for what you like… if you get my drift.

Best place to buy beer and wine, I buy beer here and I always find what I want, can’t just buy one bomber have to buy two or three and maybe a six pack of hop Nosh, great workers very nice and knowledgable on both wine and beer. This is my go to place

My brother recommended this store based on our mutual love of IPA’s and trying new ones. It’s hard to find a place with educated individuals to help navigate through the hundreds of different kinds. I seem to find the owner most times I’ve gone in and he’s been more than helpful

You’re an individual and not just a customer and for that, Peter and Liquid Wine & Spirits gets top marks.
Peter provided me with a case of wine that I have been looking for a long time and for a very reasonable price given the vintage is gone from shelves everywhere and can only be found in private collections or auction houses. He was also nice enough to share with me expert information regarding wines and he clearly will go out of his way to provide you with other availabilities and recommendations on a personal basis, something you will rarely or ever see from a larger vendor.
I’ve never before had a merchant tell me he thought something was overpriced or not up-​sell something but instead provide an honest opinion regarding pricing of a premium Scotch or a select version of a wine before. Peter will. That integrity and honesty will have me coming back for years to come.
Thank you Peter.

This shop is awesome. Peter REALLY knows his stuff, and never fails to give excellent recommendations at any price range.
For example, my first time in, he set me up with 4 different kinds of beer I’d never heard of before based on well known labels I gave him, and they all tasted amazing.
They also carry wines that are harder to find at all price ranges, and Peter will guide you with expert suggestions there as well.
Liquid Wine & Spirits really is a hidden gem. If you want liquor worth your time you really should shop here.

Loved this place. Peter is both very friendly and really informative. We were looking for an excellent Merlot under $ 20 and he delivered witha wonderful selection «Strange» (the vineyard — not the wine itself :). The wine was so good we were back the next day for another!!! Thanks Peter

Liquid wine is really close to work and has a nice assortment of wine and craft beers.
I stopped by to get a couple of IPAs and the person behind the counter was super knowledgeable. He helped me select a couple new IPAs once he knew what I liked.
When closer to work this will be an easy stop on the way home to pick up wine or select beers, but when closer to home I still will have to stay loyal to the Green Jug.
Nothing wrong with having two great places!

What a find! Came in here with the bf looking for some specialty Tequilas and ended up with 3 great Tequilas. Plus an education in Tequila making and distribution. And a few complimentary sample shots. I can’t tell you how nice, patient and knowledgeable these guys were!
Definitely come here for some great deals and you may get lucky and walk out of here with a slight buzz (bring your DD: P) and some awesome finds!
