Been wanting to visit the store so walked in looking for wines from different countries - and they really deliver on that. When I walked in on a sunday both employees had their faces glued to a computer and they barely acknowledged me. Even after I said this was my first time. Was really hoping for more help and interaction. Overall I liked their selection. read more

Fabulous! Their recommendations are always spot on! And they always have everything you may want or need!

A couple of weeks ago, my family and I dined at Fleming's Prime Steakhouse. We ordered a wine which we enjoyed, so I went online to see if I could find a store which carried this product. This is how I found out about "Manhattan Fine Wines". When I was in the area, I detoured to visit this store. It was easy to find, and there was plenty of parking in the shopping center. It is a smaller shop (in terms of square footage), but it is well stocked. More importantly, the internet lead was accurate and the wine I was looking for was in stock. The store owner is doing a good job of using the internet to market his inventory. There is a lot of wine in this store that I have not seen in other outlets. And the individual I interacted with (the proprietor?) was knowledgeable of his inventory. This was my first visit, but it won't be my last. read more

Quality selection of champagne during a time when there is a champagne shortage! I was able to find both Billecart rosé as well as Billecart 2008 Elizabeth Cuveé in abundant amounts for a family party that I was hosting. Nice and helpful staff! The only concern I would raise is storage at the location. The sun comes barreling in through the front and I would worry that some of the harder to find wines that aren't often sought out might not be stored properly until they are purchased. read more

Manhattan Fine Wines - 2008 Elizabeth Cuveé - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Just a quick shout out for Manhattan Fine Wines. I've shopped here for two decades and I can always find what I want, prices are excellent, and the staff is friendly. I appreciate that they give me space to browse but are always available to answer questions. This is my go to for great wine!!! read more

Joe, Rob and the gang know their stuff, and the selection and prices are competitive. MFW is a great little wine store that packs a punch of deliciousness. read more

Great selection of wines. The company I work for uses this location as a place we count on to order wines and others for clients and holiday gifting. read more

Joe, the owner is simply the best!!! Love this place! The other guys that work there are very knowledgable as well!!! I go in about once a week and sometimes just get a bottle, but if the guys have a deal like last week...it's a case. The variety of wines and sprits is perfect and well laid out. easy to browse and if the guys see you wandering, they are there to help and suggest wines. Last week I wanted a really nice Malbec for a friend. I drink Malbec's a bunch, but have never found the perfect vintage. I wanted the price to be in the $10-15 range (they never make you feel like you have to spend more) and they went right to Alamos. It has become my go-to Malbec. Once again, they were right on it. read more

When I was back home a few weeks ago, I stopped by this place hoping to find some wines I like. Not only I found a couple of bottles from Australia and New Zealand which I usually enjoy at my favorite wine bars in Sydney, but also they were much cheaper than buying in Australia. I left the store with big smile... read more

Needed a couple wine bottles for a party I was attending. My knowledge of wine is none. So I had many questions and Manhattan answered them all. Sorry for being so annoying. Thank you for the help in my selections. read more

Great selection, great service, great prices everything you can ask for in a wine store. I was looking for a new wine and the recommendation was wonderful becoming my new favorite. read more

I was looking for a quality place to purchase wine from. The first employee behind the counter barely acknowledge me as he was to busy chitchatting with what appeared to be a friend of his. The other employee came out, no reaction from him either. So I ended making my own choice without being engaged by neither of them. Went to the counter and paid. Left like I went in earlier without being noticed, even though I wished them to have a good day. Just a glorified liquor store. Very disappointed. read more

Manhattan Fine Wines is amongst the best wine shops in Southern California, and I believe it is hands-down the best in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. I have been a customer for about 4 years now, slowly but surely becoming more acquainted with their great selection. It was important to me to have a great wine shop close to home as I moved back from Sebastopol (Sonoma Co.) in 2007 and needed my fix! No, I needed a place where I could at least have access to the same wines however. You can find RRV wines at Costco, but for one-stop with a great selection, you would normally find yourself looking up a wine warehouse or super store. A drive to Wally's or at worst, BevMo. Manhattan Fine Wines fills that role dutifully and beautifully. I like the service here. If you want recommendations or their pick, just ask. If you want to be completely alone, just do your thing and they will not bother you. They are a great help and have enough experience to be able to dial in on your tastes. (As the last reviewer mentioned, say you don't like maloactic in your Chard and they will understand) The selection is great. On the lower, mid, and high-end, they have a lot of great wines. For those that are after cult or semi-cult wines, come to MFW. They've got Sine Qua Non, Williams-Seylem, Kistler, Hundred Acre, Screaming Eagle, etc. I recently bought Black Kite, Littorai, and Radio-Coteau. The prices are reasonable. I've purchased wines here ~10% less than they charge at the winery. I've purchased wines at Costco even, to see them at MFW for only a few more dollars. They really make an effort to charge reasonable prices. They have quite a few QPRs, whether you're looking at domestic Pinots, Priorat or Rhones. You can stop here and buy Krug or Cristal, Cheateau Margaux or Domain Leroy, or you can bring in $20 and get a wonderful wine. I picked up a $20 Barolo the other day (a village blend, but still) that was great. My only complaint would be a minor one. When I want a Hermitage or Cote Rotie, or let's get crazier: a Washington red or a South African wine, I want to select from dozens of choices. It's purely space, and here they don't have enough to be able to offer that amount of choice. They pick their wines wisely, but still, some times you hear a name and you just want to run to the nearest wine place and pick it up. Still, they have the Kermit Lynches and Berkeley Imports. That's what I'd like to see more from them. Know your importer and implore your local shop to carry more from them. That's how you change the ruling perceptions. Good luck wine drinkers and let me know what you think of MFW! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. Other than the fact that I live in Long Beach and have to drive there, this store is perfect. In fact, the fact that I drive from Long Beach to purchase higher end wines from MFW should say it all. I just picked up a Nickel and Nickel Stag's Leap District Cab that would've cost me $85 at any other retailer, and they had it for $70. Their selection of whites was restrained only be the amount of floor space they had available, but they sounded like they'd be willing to bring a case of something in if it was reputable enough (I mentioned DR Stephens Chard, and they didn't flinch at my request to have them obtain some). When I explained I was looking for a Chard leaning more towards a Seavy and further from a Truchard, they knew EXACTLY what I was saying, and proved it by double checking that I meant lower acids, more butter, with a rolling but structured finish. You don't need to understand what I'm saying, you just need to get from it that these guys don't just sell the wines, they taste and KNOW them inside and out. I CAN NOT remember the last time I was at a retail store with this extensive a selection that had such knowledgeable, useful staff. On top of that, their finest of wines had the most reasonable of prices I'd seen in ages. I will hands down be back again and again and again. Thank you guys! Amazing store you have there! -M read more

I absolutely LOVE this place!!! Incredible wine selection. I prefer to support small businesses rather than big chains, so to have this little gem shared with me was quite a delight. They carry all of my favorites from simple table wines like King Estate Pinot Gris and Gascon Malbec to Gurgich, Hess, Flowers, Turley, Quintessa, Chateau Y'quem and more! Their prices are right where they should be as well. Great place, friendly and very helpful staff. I'm becoming a regular here. :) read more

I've shopped Manhattan Fine Wines for 15 years, spent $ each occasion. Service, suggestions and knowledge of inventory superb, so why would I discontinue being a client? I've solicited MFW numerous times a year for a bottle of wine or gift certificate since becoming involved in community philanthropy. MFW has never participated, always some excuse! I hope you'll join me, discontinue shopping MFW and give your business to Barsha, he's always generous in giving to the community!!' Cheap and bad business practices! Suck money from clientele and give nothing back to the community. read more

These guys really know their wines, and offer it a few bucks cheaper than even the big wine stores. They have a good Champagne section and a small refrigerated room for their premium bottles. They are very good at keeping up with mentions in Wine Spectator and the L.A. Times. If you need the harder stuff, they offer a small but strong selection, including some labels are a bit harder to find. read more

Manhattan Liquor is a fantastic wine shop, with a fine selection of other liquors. The five stars is for not only the selection, but also the care they take to help you select a wine you are looking for. The wines they carry are fantastic, and will not break the bank. read more

This is the store that I think it is, right? Manhattan Fine Wines instead of Manhattan Liquors? Located the strip mall at Sepulveda x Artesia? The mall with Fedex/Kinko, Bally Total Fitness, CoffeeB&TeaL, Lindburg Nutrition and MacDonald, right? Next to a small pharmacy/gift shop? The goole map does not seem right..... Anyway, I like this shop. It feels like a smaller version of Los Angeles Wine Co, the another store that I love. What I like about this place is the tiny card sign indicating the rating and short description put on their featured wines. From a 4 dollar wine to a God-knows-how-much wine they have amazing selections from around the world. read more

Excellent selection with competitive prices, many great Bordeaux values to be found in the refrigerated cellar toward the back of the store. Also lots of small-production California Pinot & Zin (e.g., Loring, Turley) and many options from reliable Southern Rhone producers (e.g., E Guigal, St Cosme), all at great prices. My only feedback to management is to keep the website updated with the current availability - I was excited to try a particular Burgundy on Halloween that was not in stock despite Wine-Searcher and the MFW website indicating it was. read more

When you dont want to deal with all of the options at BevMo, go to this great little wine store. The guys who work there know what they are talking about. Tell them what you like/want, and they'll want something perfect for you. Its nice and small so its easy to explore and find something that fits your price point and taste preference. There's even a room that is basically off limits unless you know your going to spend $100+ which I haven't dared to go into yet, but a lot of the local Manhattan Beach Dad's have become familiar with, check it out. This place was suggested to me by a waiter at Flemings, so you know they have the best. They also have a very nice selection of hard liquor. read more

The gods of the vines have blessed this amazing establishment with the juices of internal joy!

A great variety of wine from all regions. The staff is courteous and knowledgable. I am going back. read more

MFW has the best wine selection in the South Bay. The employees working there have a lot of knowledge and are able to give great recommendations. They recommended a nice bottle of red wine and it became a great hit at my dinner party. read more

Manhattan Fine Wines is a very nice store. They have a very good selections of winery at great prices. The staff at MFW are welcoming and helpful. read more

Best wine selection in town. The staff is friendly and super knowledgeable. Let them know what you are having for dinner and they will recommend the perfect wine. Highest recommendation for this place. read more

My favorite wine store in the South Bay. Best prices and selection. Staff is also very knowledgeable and can help you pick out wines if you would like to try something new. read more

used to be a good place to buy wine and get some good advice when it was run by Nick...

Great wine selection in this place. Prices range from dirt cheap to extremely expensive. If you plan on packing a couple bottles for your flight home - put it in the checked in luggage. TSA snagged my good stuff as I (stupidly) had it in my carry-on bag! What can I say, I was in a rush and forgot to declare the bottle... I'm sure they enjoyed the free hooch! read more

Best wine selection in the South Bay. If you are looking for a knowledgeable staff and incredible selection, and great prices Manhattan Liquor is the best! read more

Stopped in on Saturday afternoon to pick up a couple bottles of wine and ended walking out with 7 bottles. There were too many good wines to pass up. They have a great selection of wine and liquor at good prices. I've been going here for years and recommend the place. read more

Great prices on wine. Almost the same price that restaurants pay for. My dad has been coming here for years and has now turned me on to this place for several years. read more

This place rocks. Lots of hard to find worldly liquors, amazing fine wine selection and really knowledgable and helpful staff. I love this place. Two thumbs up! read more

Really nice selection of wines and decent prices (maybe 3-5% percent more expensive than BevMo). Low maintenance (folding tables w/ boxes instead of shelves), but I'm fine with that to keep prices down. My husband and I perused for about 20 minutes and weren't offered any help, but it was New Year's Eve day and try seemed to be restocking. I'm definitely making this my Beach Cities wine stop! read more

On business travel in El Segundo looking for Carmel Road Chardonnay and found this place on the Carmel Road website. Only carried the Pinot and suggested another wine as comparable from a flavor standpoint. The result was something that tastes like BAD house wine. Very disappointing. Only reason for the second star was because they appeared to have a good selection and good reviews by others, but staff definitely doesn't know what they have. read more

Prices on wines are decent, - they have no problem overcharging on spirits. Saw some for 40 - 50% mark up over retail. Pass. Lots of places with equal or better selection. If the staff had good knowledge, it might be worth it, but they don't have a clue. read more

No quesiton the best wine store in the Beach cities. Very good selection, across all regions and price points, But the best thing about this store is the service. Give them an idea of the wine you like, what sort of price point you are open to, and they will guide you to a lot of good choices. I have discovered a lot of great wines at this store thanks to Ken and the teams help. Without a doubt some of the best service in a wine store you will get. And very down to earth - no pompous wine attitude - just very knowledgeable and keen to share. read more

I'm a Chardonnay girl but I was looking for a special gift for a friend that drinks Pinot Noir. I'd done a little research before visiting this store because I'd heard good things about it. Well, it's all true. Look for Ken to give you the best advise (and not necessarily the most expensive in the store) for what you're looking for without being intimidating. Manhattan Fine Wines is an intimate, small, wine store. It's very organized and you'll receive personal attention. I'll be back! read more

I love Manhattan Fine Wines, formally Manhattan Liquors. I love Joe the owner and his staff Ken and Jack. They are always helpful. I blame them for increasing my wine knowledge - now I spend too much on wine. I've been to many wine shops around Los Angeles and while their are larger places to shop for the South Bay they are the BEST. His prices are always competitive, the staff is knowledgeable and they are always happy to help you know matter what your price range is. I've been to some places where they always want to upsell me. I can say to Joe or Ken - I'm on a budget this week and they will always find me something or if I am spending more on wine they will always find me the exactly what I'm looking for. They understand my palate and always suggest something I will like. Prior I would get frustrated at other stores and they would suggest something only to come home after spending a considerable amount of money and not liking it. Not here - they always get it right. I've send so many people to them - I even call them from Napa asking them if I would like a particular winery. It's small and compact and no frills but to me it's the best in the South Bay. read more
