    Cute artwork.

    West Altadena Wine opened in June, and I've been meaning to come here for the Thursday Wine Tastings, since I attend the ones at their sister shop Highland Park Wine on a regular basis. Its prior incarnation was Everson Royce Wine & Spirits in Pasadena. The new location inspired the name change. I recently attended the soft opening of their adjacent bar (Good Neighbor) and since it was Thursday I went in for the weekly wine tasting. $20 gets you four pours and you can buy pizza from the Triple Beam pop-up. The layout is about the same as HLP Wine (Silverlake Wine is also part of the family). Featuring artwork by Eric Junker, this cozy boutique shop carries a variety of organic/biodynamic/natural wines. They also sell small production beer and spirits. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to assist customers pick out the perfect selection. The gal at the register even remembered me from HLP Wine. I enjoyed the tastings for the evening and had great conversations with the locals who were also warm & welcoming. Everyone I spoke to were happy to have this place in the neighborhood and were also excited about Good Neighbor Bar. Even though it's not walking distance from my house like HLP Wine is, I will be back.

I talked and exchanged emails with the store manager for a couple of weeks including the day before the event to ensure that everything was good and ready to go and I got confirmation that all was well and ready to be delivered. The order was supposed to be delivered to the venue at 11am for the party which was starting at 6pm to allow time for bartender to refrigerate the beer and prepare for the event. I get a call from the venue 20 minutes before the party is starting telling me that the order was never delivered. I frantically call BevMo to find out what happened. The person that answered the phone had no clue so after my insistence, he said let me try to go check. He came back and calmly said "the order is in the back and it never went out". Didn't attempt to offer any resolution. After more insistence and back and forth, I finally convinced him to call the store manager. Thankfully they put a rush order on the delivery, but it arrived almost an hour after the event had started. I conveyed to the store manager how upset I was that things were late, that no one had contacted me, that guests would be served warm beer, etc. She said she would talk to her staff the following Monday to find out what happened to ensure it never happened again and that she would get back to me about how they could redress the situation. Monday came and went. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday... Finally on Friday I sent the manager an email letting her know that I never heard back and that I was willing to communicate and share more details about my poor customer service experience. I got back a short email on Saturday saying that I wouldn't be charged the delivery fee and that they would take $20 off my $500 order. Needless to say, I will not be doing business with them again in the future.

Our experiences have always been good. 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.

    More than Fair at Fair Oaks Cigars & Spirits Lounge in South Pasadena…read more Great humidor room with reasonable pricing. Good beverage selection, including soft drinks and spirits. Lighters, ashtrays, cozy chairs, all cigar accessories and cutters available. It's a cigar bar meets a sports lounge and the vibes are chill. We popped in to catch the Argentina vs. Switzerland match and ordered food nearby. Him at Gus's nextdoor and me via a DoorDash drop off from Maciel's off York Blvd, less than 3 miles away. I had one of the best big gauge Lunatic brand cigars and noted a lot of others I'd come back to try or stock up on here. Service was friendly and all the guys enjoying their evening cigars were as well. Everyone really got into the games, Dodgers on the other big screen being defeated. Easy parking shared with Gus's BBQ nextdoor, which had non-stop foot traffic. Plenty of gents trickled in to the Fair Oaks as well. We had a couple of sodas here, nice and cool from their cold box with water and other ready to grab bevs, but no cocktails as it's more of a spirit shop in that since. Though I would definitely partake next time in a bottle purchase to support this cool small biz. I'd imagine there's a fee possible for opening up in shop, but you never know. Impressive selection of Scotch, Whiskey, Wine and more. Cigar boxes for sell for really great prices, a few get displayed right outside the entrance. Open from 10:30am til 9pm daily, but they definitely won't rush you out right on the dot. Clearly value their customers, new and longstanding.

    Disclaimer: I'm a newbie when it comes to cigars…read more I went in to buy a cigar for today's tee time. Marcus was very helpful and patient with assisting me. I ended up with the Oliva which was under $18. There's a walk-in humidor with an endless variety of cigars, which I'll undoubtedly get to try soon. Not only did he take the time to explain several cigars' flavor profiles, he took the time to drop some knowledge on the punch cut along with other useful info. He didn't try to upsell but also introduced me to some equipment I'd be needing in the near future. 5 stars for the incredible service! There were a few gentlemen enjoying their cigars while watching sports on the TV. I'm definitely going back for more!
