A family owned business that is well lit, clean, organized and friendly. It is a neighborhood wine shop with fair prices and a good selection.
I am mind blown by some of the negative reviews. I have been shopping here for almost 5 years now and its been nothing but delightful. The owners of the store are friendly people. The two staff members are funny and knowledgable.
This store has good variety and a cozy atmosphere. Although I don’t usually ask for recommendations, I’m sure the owners or the staff can help you with that (ask for Fidel he is the expert!)

This a great neighborhood wine shop. The selection is simple. It is clean, and the prices are very good. It is family run, and they have made good recommendations to me.
If you are looking for exotic wines, this might not be best place. If you are looking for a bottle of malbec for under $ 15, then I’d recommend this place. The wines they carry seem to be selected for offering good quality for reasonable prices.

I go here from time to time and I think it’s a decent place. I don’t understand why people give this store such bad reviews though. People talk about racism but being half Asian half white (but looking pretty Asian) I’ve never felt personally offended or anything like that. But as for tips, there’s a pretty big selection to choose from.

They only recommend wines that make them money. They have no taste or real recommendations to give. Avoid and make the effort to go somewhere proper.

Small, cluttered liquor store run by a bitter middle-​aged Korean woman.
She looked down on my boyfriend and I because we were an interracial couple and was not scared to voice it. She looked at us horrified and disgraced as we were looking around.
There is a $ 20 card minimum.

I used my Korean charm to get her to take my boyfriend’s card for a $ 11 purchase but I will not be going back, even if it’s to support a fellow Korean household.

I have not stepped foot in this store, but I never will. I am totally creeped out. I sat in my car in front of this place and watched the employee (male, long-​ish hair, perhaps a goatee?) standing in the doorway being a total creep, leering at every woman who walked past, his gaze following her backside all the way down the block. I stared at him, letting him know that I was watching him, and he smiled at me. I gave him the finger and mouthed «you’re disgusting» and he gave the the finger back and mouthed «fuck you.»
The «mom and pop» owners who also appeared to be present in the store seemed completely unaware and/​or indifferent about this employee’s behavior. They should be ashamed.

Great place, conveniently located.
I haven’t looked through their wines, but they have a great bourbon selection.
I really like that it’s independently owned and I’m not donating $$ to some faceless corporation.

Nice little Mom /​Pop shop that focuses on more wine then liquor. They carry some of my most favorite wines titles like: Château Martinet St-​Emilion (about $ 20), Marques de Caceres Rioja’s, Los Vascos Chilean Cab’s ($ 20), and my ultimate favorite is Concha Y Toro Cab/​Merlot blend (1.5L is sooo cheap about $ 9)!!!
