The charcuterie boards here are perfection, do not sleep on it and be sure to savor the onion jam. That said, one of my favorite things to get is the roasted root vegetable plate, that combo with the yogurt and honey is some fine dining action, though you should absolutely skip adding the sausage. Getting a flight is usually the way I go, but then I often end up getting a full glass of my favorite from there. Such a gem in DTC and I hope it stays forever!

This is a great place for after work happy hour in a casual ambiance. I came here for birthday…read moredrinks with my family before we headed to dinner nearby. The location has a spacious area filled with a variety of wine options. I picked a Bourgogne Chardonnay from France ($36). We came on a late Monday afternoon and, lucky for us, they have a bar special on Mondays: No corkage fee! They also have Happy Hour-- Monday to Friday from 3-6pm. The Chardonnay was divine! I would totally return and purchase another bottle. We also ordered a charcuterie board and took advantage of their happy hour special for $20 (pick two-- one cheese and one meat). We opted for the 'Humboldt Fog' Chèvre as our cheese option and the Bresaola for our meat option. Both were delicious, but the chèvre was truly exquisite. We shared one charcuterie board with five people and it was enough; however if you're on the hungry side, I suggest two charcuterie boards for five or six people. In addition to meat and cheese, it comes with crackers, some pickled veggies, onion jam, candied nuts, whole grain Dijon, and apple slices. On the left side of the venue you have your variety of wine options; on the right side, there's the bar and some tables, plus a small area with other snacks for purchase that pair nicely with wine or beer. They even sell the Torres truffle chips! My only complaint is the service, unfortunately. The lady at the cashier was super friendly, however the bar tender was not so welcoming. When he came over to our table to open our wine bottle, he didn't greet us, smile, or say anything. He took our bottle and opened it and then asked who was going to taste. Not sure if he thought we didn't speak English since we were speaking another language when he came to our table, but overall, we all noticed his attitude and thought it was rather unwelcoming. Because of this experience, I rate this place a 4/5, however, everything else was great!

My girlfriend,…read morewho is a club member of bar and garden, and I enjoy coming here every now and then on a Sunday for their wine tasting in the back room. I got to the shop ahead of my friend and asked the lady at the register if I could purchase two wine tastings and that one would be for a member. She said that she could not look up my friend's name and that she would have to pay in order to get the discount. So rather than letting me do a nice thing before she arrives I have to now wait for my girlfriend to show up. As I was walking away, the gal then asked me for her name, which wouldn't that go to prove that she is a member and wouldn't that have allowed me to purchase the two tastings? She even said "I'm sorry to be annoying" to which I replied yes, that is very annoying. The woman doesn't have much flexibility, obviously and says that people try to take advantage of the discount by saying their friend is a member.... Blah blah blah. The whole thing in general just doesn't make any sense. Don't be annoying, especially on a relaxing Sunday. The discount is what, a dollar or two!? Just look up the name and ask her when she arrives if she is who I said she was. Beyond f-ing annoying and bad customer service. Will be suggesting in the future to go down the street to Hi-Lo or somewhere else entirely.

Monica has guided us every step of the way throughout this journey. Her depth of wine knowledge, teaching ability, and passion for the subject have given us the tools and confidence needed to succeed at every level. The in-person tastings have been especially valuable and instrumental in preparing for the challenging Diploma tasting exams. Monica does an excellent job helping students develop both their tasting technique and analytical skills. One of the best parts about studying at the Wine House is being able to purchase wines directly from their incredible selection to continue practicing and preparing outside of class. Having access to such a wide range of wines has made a huge difference in reinforcing what we learn and getting ready for the exams.

I was super impressed by the array of non alcoholic beverages and the hospitality of both the staff and vendors. This place has been around for years and the liveliness and warmth of the atmosphere as well as the people who work and attend these events really make this place super special. Also love the care and attention they take to feature special and unique brands, things you wouldn't see in big box stores, and just amazing quality all around. It's really great to see such amazing businesses like this in Los Angeles and I super highly recommend supporting and visiting the Wine House not only for these events but also for all your wine, non alcoholic and pairing and accessories needs! They are super friendly and knowledgeable! There is also ample parking on the rooftop! The entrance is a bit tricky it's a steep ramp on the right side if you're looking at the building.

Dodgy feel -check!…read moreGloomy lighting -check! Bullet-proof plexiglass caging the entire service counter -check! Liquor stores remind me of desperation and (alcoholic) characters who want to remain unseen especially after hours since grocery stores and specialty stores like Wally's or Robert Burns carry decent inventory for the average drinker. This one is no different. Fernet Branca seems to be all the rage here in the states recently and we were looking for a bottle nearby without going all the way to BevMo. The Korean girl behind the counter looked like she was 15. She had never heard of Fernet Branca and asked her dad (whom I assume is Dave) to check. He confirmed that they didn't carry it. We walked out because we didn't need/want anything else. That was the end of the story. Flashback three years ago, I was looking for Macallan (any year besides 12) for a last-minute gift but they didn't carry any Macallan at all. They had Johnnie Walker but I can't recall from this recent visit if they still do. They have low-grade stuff like Popov, Jim Beam, Skyy, etc - all liquor is behind the counter, ample amount of beer and soft drinks, stacks of wine in the back, ciggies and candy up front, and surprisingly a lot of rubbish instant foods and odd sundries. Completely meeting my expectations for an average American liquor store. I'm just glad I didn't witness any crime during my visit. Bottom line: don't expect much here.

LA Distilling is one of the few places that has whiskeys and apparently makes them on site and The Whiskey Store is their retail front. Google maps will take you to their warehouse area, pull into the parking spot but keep going. The storefront is a little bit off center from the distillery. I went on a weekday so it was quiet, like in an eerie way. The front door was locked and I ended up going around back through their warehouse. That's where I ran into someone finally who told me to go around back, no just follow him. Their showroom is nice-in need of a little dusting but nice. I asked what was good or popular and he said everything was, not super helpful so I ended up buying two bottles of their bourbon. I got to try it after I presented it to my friend-it was ok. It definitely needed some more mellowing.
