Legend Cellars Fine Wine Storage

I can’t believe I haven’t written a review on the great facility and people of Legends Cellars as of yet. I moved my wine here a few years ago after a bad experience at WCC. I started out with one small locker that grew to 2 small lockers… then a walk in… then two… and so on. Scott and the Jen’s have been incredibly accommodating and gracious at every turn. They have gone above and beyond for me countless times and make my life easier on a weekly basis. It is a pleasure to support such nice small business owners.

I want to update my review of Legend Cellars. But first, let me say that I was kicked out of Wine Cellar Club today. Yes, that’s right, kicked out.
Why, you ask? Because the management at WCC did not like my review of Legend Cellars here on Unilocal,the one I had written two years ago. You see, Legend is their direct competitor, and WCC seems to hold a grudge against anyone who leaves them for greener pastures, which is what I did several years ago. And the fact that I wrote a review about it seems to have hardened that grudge even more.
Today, that grudge reared its ugly head. I was attending a holiday wine tasting hosted by my friends, who still store their wine at WCC. I was there as their guest. But when the management of WCC saw that I was there, they pulled me aside and asked me to leave. Can you believe that? I was not even there for 10 minutes and they asked — nay, told — me to leave. Now, there’s some Christmas spirit for you!
Of course, everyone in our group was appalled by such egregious behavior. So I promptly called Scott Osumi at Legend and told him what had just happened. Before I could even ask, he said, «Come on over.» Talk about night and day! So our group packed up our food and wine and resumed the festivities at Legend, where we were treated with respect and kindness.
So let me reiterate my love for Legend Cellars. It is, hands down, the best place to store wine in Irvine, and I would even go as far as to say in Orange County.
Keep up the great work, Scott and Jennifer! You have in me a loyal customer!

I’m new to Legend, but I have to say how positive the experience was. The owner Scott showed me around, and the facility is great. The have easy access and it is well priced and exactly what you want in an good storage facility. I will be storing here for a long time.

Although I’m a relatively new customer here, Jennifer and Scott makes me feel like we are old friends.
Being able to ship my wine here is an added plus because I’m never home to sign for the shipment.

I have been storing my overflow of wine here for 4 – 5 years. Maybe more. Great service and people. The original Jennifer (who we all hope to see again soon!) and the ‘new’ Jennifer, co-​owner with her husband, Scott, are welcoming and go out of their way to be helpful.
This is a place I come to just to hang-​out at times. So do others. There is a comfortable inside lounge (I’m stretched out on one of the leather couches right now!) and a large outside patio area with lots of tables. Sharing bottles with others is part of the attraction of storing wine here.
Free wifi. Free receipt of wine shipments (some places charge for that service). Good prices on storage, specially walk-​ins.
Just like home.

I have had a locker here for 2 years now. They have a large wharehouse type room filled with different size storage lockers. Mine is cheap since I need a ladder to reach it. They have big rolling ladders so it’s really no problem. For the big spenders, there are walk-​in lockers.
The reason for 5 stars, though, is for the facilities. You can stop by and taste wines with friends — they have a large tasting room as well as an outside patio area. The parties they throw (about once a month) are really fun, too. Lots of people open thier own wines but Legends also provides wine and food free of charge.
I picked this place because it was the cheapest place around to store my wine but, as it turns out, Legends has a lot more to offer than your average wine storage place.

I am quite surprised that this place is so close by and I was not aware of its existence. It’s a fine wine storage warehouse that keeps the temperature at 57 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity at 65%.
I was here for an exclusive event by Legends. The owners of the wines stored there open up their cellars for a night of tasting and dining on bratwurst and spinach dip. The hallways are fun to walk around as artwork is displayed while you mingle and taste diff wines.
I thought the atmosphere was pretty rad, but I had a lot of trouble walking around with a plate of bratwurst and spinach dip… while balancing my wine on the other hand. I needed an extra set of hands so I could eat!
The best part of this event was the one man band in the corner. While we mingled, we couldn’t help singing along to the songs he played. He was quite good and played a lot of Beatles hits, Cat Stevens, Credence Clearwater Revival, and even some Lynard Skynard.
