One day years ago, one of the employees recognized me from years past. His name is Steve. This not only goes out to Steve, but it goes out to the entire staff on the floor. Shout out to the two gentlemen in the wine section. Outstanding service at Mission Wine & Spirits in Pasadena. I've known Steve for years, and he consistently goes above and beyond. I honestly thought that " they" the sales people that were somehow on commission. A couple of days ago Steve personally texted me when a new wine arrived that he knew I'd love. That kind of proactive, thoughtful service is rare. Great selection, even better people. Just a great experience all around. It was a $200 buy that I wasn't expecting to make. Best and good luck.

It's a quaint wine shop with a nice selection of varietals, blends, and even a few craft beers. There's a small tasting bar in the back which usually features a flight of whites and reds, along with several other selections by the glass, as well as charcuterie boards, olives, nuts, and truffle popcorn. Lucy (owner), Pattie, Nina, and the rest of the staff are friendly and accommodating, making you feel like family. On occasion, they'll also have live music. We really enjoy Monopole and recommend you check them out when you're in the area.

Despite her loss, she made the decision to give back to the community and the local Pasadena Fire department. This place has been on my radar but after hearing this I made an effort to stop by her shop and support. The store carries about 700 different wines from established and smaller wineries. Currently, Nicole is only accepting online orders for pick up or 2-day shipping in California. 100% of all proceeds from purchases of the "Fire Relief Wines" are being donated to The California Fire Foundation. She's already raised $40,000, so all my wine loving Yelp peeps that are reading this hope online and show Nicole some love. *Small parking lot or street parking.

TBH the prices are pretty high compared to even chevron down the street. (Yes it was that serious). EDIT: Shibli, thank you for your response; however, as a business/franchise owner you should ensure that ALL platforms reflect the correct information especially if this has been unavailable for 5+ years -- you've had plenty of time to correct this information. As for the Chevron comment, this is my observation and was took my business there as of this morning. Thank you.

He said that's what he told me over the phone so I thought maybe I misheard. I get home and see part of the label scratched off which looks like an 89(see pic). On top of that they charged an $8 card fee without telling me. The owner here is a scammer. Enjoy the 28 extra bucks
