For my sons Prom & Champagne send-off, and with less than 2 weeks, Steve managed to customize a charcuterie "cup" order for me. I will admit, we are not the biggest gourmet/exotic cheese and meat & fruit connoisseurs, and one of our guests had a nut allergy but Steve impeccably and without judging curated a lovely collection of goodies that my guests loved. Yes -- he dummied down the items to fit our simple palate and we were so grateful! They were delivered and set up to my surprise and my guests were absolutely impressed! Boy did I win the day! They were not cheap, but we needed them to be easy to handle and self-contained since we were at a park. Steve - thank you so much for helping make our day. And thank you for the text wishing my son a happy prom . read more

Open 7 days a week, Wine Cheese Etc. provides a great service to the Long Beach community for wine, cheese, and ... butter? We stopped by on a Monday afternoon, and there was plenty of parking (shared parking strip mall parking lot). I have been on the lookout for the best butter I could find to eat with fresh bread, since our Europe trip and settled on 'Rodolphe Le Meunier' to try. I was pleasantly surprised that one of the places that carry it, was right here in LBC. It's a smaller shop, manageable by one person. The owner/proprietor was very friendly, and gave us some suggestions on cheese (which we followed: Milton Praire Breeze $8.99) and fresh European bread, which we intend to try (with the purchased butter of course). I'm a sucker for sour dough flatbread crisps, so had to pick up a box of that ($8.50). Note that it has a small variety of cheeses, all already individually pre-wrapped (this is not a cheese shop where they have wheels of cheese, ready to be cut on-demand). Next time, will take advantage of the expert wine/cheese pairing. read more

This is literally one of the best neighborhood gems that you can find! I love the variety of wine that they carry from Italian to natural and even sparkling. Steve, the owner, is very knowledgeable of wine and will even help you pair a special meal to what he has in stock. In addition to their wide variety of wine, they also carry a selection of cheeses and goods such as pickle chips, amazing sardines, olive oil, etc.. they even have ice cream! I can't forget to mention their sandwich selection. I am obsessed with the rosemary ham sandwich that is paired with this cherry jam that is to die for. I have also pre-ordered the charcuterie boxes and always receive raving compliments on them. The store itself is always clean and organized, and as mentioned carries an assortment of all goods including nice gifts, such as cookbooks. OK, one last thing that I really love about them is their wine club! It is extremely affordable and I am never disappointed with the selection. I love that as a wine club member you also get a discount on every purchase in the store. So if you are looking for a great selection of wine, cheeses, goods, etc --come here!!! read more

Wine Cheese Etc - A charcuterie box that I pre-ordered it's definitely worth it!! - Cheese Shops Near Me - Long Beach, California

Wine Cheese Etc is a true neighborhood gem. There is such a warmth about Steve and Kerri. They bring you high quality products at reasonable prices. I've now ordered 3 charcuterie boards, am a member of their fabulous wine club, attended a handful of their events and have always had a great time! Steve goes the extra mile in sharing his recommendations. Service is exceptional and the ambiance is cozy/clean. There's always something new to discover. And did I mention? The sandwiches are amazing too! read more

Love this place! They have a great selection of wines for a humble shop. Steve, the store owner, is very friendly and knowledgeable about wines and where they come from. So if you need help choosing a wine, Steve is your guy. My husband prefers red wine whereas I prefer wines to be on the sweeter side ie moscatos. Steve introduced us to "Stay in Bed Red" and "La Morandina" which is from Italy. I was excited to try the real deal moscato and it was definitely the best moscato I've had so far. As for the Stay in Bed Red, my hubby and I really liked it! In addition to wines, this is a one stop shop for all your hosting needs, a quiet night in or a hostess gift. They have greeting cards, cookbooks, beer, gourmet cooking ingredients and whatever you need to make a charcuterie board. You can even order cheese boxes or customized gift boxes online for your convenience. I'm happy to support family owned, local businesses so 5 stars to Wine, Cheese, Etc for great customer service, great selection of wines and other products, and reasonable prices. Highly recommend! read more

WINE, CHEESE, ETC!... No, I'm not just listing off a few of my favorite things... Wine Cheese Etc is an amazing family owned wine, cheese and gourmet market in Long Beach! We were invited to one of their exclusive wine tasting events and we had the BEST time! Steve and Kerri, Wine Cheese Etc's wonderful owners, hosted this intimate wine tasting event where they shared 3 tastings of CAMP wine -- a Chardonnay, Merlot, and the Zinfandel (Steve's favorite!). They also prepared a beautifully crafted charcuterie board decked out with some of their best products sold right in store. You know I had to grab some of that "crack cheese" -- a sheep and goat cheese marinated in olive oil that is to die for! I enjoyed chatting away with fellow wine and charcuterie board enthusiasts. There was also a raffle with exciting prizes such as a cheese box for 4 and two bottles of wine from their monthly wine club. The etc. is true -- they provide so much more than just wine and cheese! I can't wait to for the next event! read more

Decided to check this place out since I needed to bring something for a potluck. Placed a charcuterie board order with Steve. My box had a great selection of gourmet items. It had a trio of different salami samplers. It had dried nectarines, dried cranberries, fresh blueberries, and fresh grapes for fruit options. There were also 3 types of cheeses. Loved that one was sheep's milk. I also loved that there were also olive, cornichons, marcona almonds, and other types of nuts. It also came with 3 different types of crackers with a mini cup of honey. Honestly, it was very well thought out. I truly loved the variety in the box. My friends loved it. Steve exemplified great customer service. There were also other items in store. It was pretty spacious. There isn't anywhere for seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go type vibe. Huge selection of wine, picnic necessities, and so much more! read more

Helpful owner. Nice variety of simply everything. Charcuterie boxes are next level. Beautiful presentation.

This business has now turned me away twice when trying to order. The first time I was trying to order day of so I can understand. Second time I called more than a day in advance and was still refused. Shop somewhere that values your business. Steve doesn't care about the business. Nice response to try and show you care about your clientele but it's very dishonest. Steve was very rude on the phone I'm surprised this store has any good reviews. Maybe if you spent as much time tending to your "clientele " as you do responding on yelp your business will be more successful. Thanks for reaching out again though. read more

Fantastic selection of wine and cheeses that you can't find many other places. Steve is super knowledgeable and friendly. The Wine Club is a fantastic deal and always provides an interesting selection each month. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

We came for the Grab and Go sandwich. The Truffle Shuffle was a tasty sandwich - my only complaint is that my husband and I couldn't taste any truffle at all (and we love truffle). It's a tad pricey for a sandwich of that size but you can taste that they use good ingredients so it makes sense. If they change the Truffle Shuffle to have a truffle taste, I'd be down to try it again! read more

Wine, Cheese, Etc opened right when I moved into the neighborhood. Stephen was for sure a fresh and excited face to see upon entering the shop. The selection of their products caters to all walks of life...from a bold red & blue cheese to a light rose with fresh berries. The monthly wine nights are icing on the cake! read more

We catered sandwiches and a charcuterie from Wine Cheese etc for our daughter's first birthday, every aspect was exceptional. I sent my husband to place the order and he came back saying it was not only easy but they were informative, helpful and so nice. The food was delivered right on time and packaged beautifully. There were stickers and inserts that detailed all of the food. The presentation was great and guests could easily choose what they liked. The food itself was amazing. Almost every single person complimented the sandwiches and asked who catered. By the end I almost didn't want to say for fear they would get too busy! But, I did because they deserve your business! Cannot say enough positive things about the experience! read more

I love this place!!! I just moved down the street and my new favorite activity is to get a matcha for coffee parlor down the block and then walk in here and pick up a great bottle of wine. The owners are so friendly and not pretentious at all about wine. It is a lovely neighborhood spot and highly recommend! read more

Such wonderful wines, always a lovely variety, and fantastic service! Steve never disappoints with his recommendations. And THIS one...... sooooooo good!!!!!!!!! read more

Wine Cheese Etc - Spanish blend - Tempranillo, Graciano, and Maturana. Amazing!!!! - Cheese Shops Near Me - Long Beach, California

I cannot say enough great things about Wine Cheese Etc. I went in for a work event the first time two years ago and I haven't stopped going! I love the events and people I have met at them. The shop carries an amazing variety of, well as stated in the title Wine Cheese Etc. I am currently obsessed with a Lambrusco Rosé, I love the pickle chips, I hope they don't sell out. My favorite cheese kept selling out after I posted it on my IG and I am happy about it but I really want some. (Steve let me know when it's back!) Steven and Kerri are the sweetest people! He knows his stuff, it probably has to do with his history in the restaurant world. I don't recall it all but it's on the stores IG and you can learn more about them there. Speaking of learning, I so much every time I stop in, and he remembers what I like. (See above) Kerri is adorable and love getting to see them both in the shop! I know he tests his amazing sandwiches out on her and I am jealous! I will say that my favorite is the Truffle Shuffle, I am obsessed with its whipped topping and all the flavors go together perfectly! I tell everyone about it, pair it with the pickle chips add your beverage of choice (I like a Mexican coke or the Lambrusco, he sells both) and you've got a perfect lunch, if you want a sweet treat after, he sells gelato, yummy ice cream or you can get the best almond toffee popcorn! Dang now I'm hungry! I will try and upload pictures later, more often than not I end up eating it before I take the picture! read more

If you're looking for a personalized experience and a place to pick out a thoughtful, curated gift or just restock your own supply, Wine Cheese Etc is a great call. It's the perfect size where it's not overwhelming yet you can find something great. I was looking for a gift for someone who owns a winery so I wasn't looking for any wine at this time yet they had plenty of odds and ends that pair perfectly with wine and I was able to pick out a nice gift. They have both sweet and savory food items as well as non-food items that can satisfy any wine aficionado. read more

Lovely selection of wines, specialty foods and shop items. Wine club does not disappoint. A local gem with the kindest of owners. Go check them out! read more

Obsessed! This is my go to shop for cheese boxes. I always have to consider distance vs quality and Wine Cheese Etc wins me over, even if I have to drive a bit further. It's a no brainer, their selections of fruits, cheese, meats, jams and crackers are excellent. The presentation is beautiful which includes a cute ribbon, a description card and side box of cracker varieties. The box (for 4) can look deceiving but you really get more than enough to feed your guests and sometimes even leftovers. So far I've purchased several boxes, the cheese box for 4 and the cheese box for 8. I personally like the fuller box for 8ppl, but either box is great. My experience with ordering even during the holidays has been smooth. If it's around a holiday I always order 2 weeks in advance to secure a box. If it's a non holiday order, their site is pretty specific on ordering times, request at least a day before but before 5pm...weekends and holidays can require more time. I typically submit a request form through their website, get a confirmation with a link and prepay my item. Usually this is a great time for me to ask additional questions and the owner responds fairly quick. Pick up is also smooth, I've never had issues. These cheese boxes are excellent for any size gatherings and even get the kiddos talking about their favorite meat, cheese, spread and cracker combo. read more

We have been following the updates on this darling wine and cheese shop from the beginning, eagerly awaiting their grand opening. We finally got to visit a few weeks after their opening and had a wonderful experience meeting the owner, Steve Murray, who greeted us upon entering while still helping others in the shop. We were impressed at the variety of wine, beer, cheese, pantry, and gift items from around the world, from saffron and tapenades to bamboo cheese knives and quirky t-shirts! This little shop has it all! Items are all reasonably priced, Steve was very helpful and knowledgeable about the beers and wines he recommended and we loved how curated the store was, which made it so very personal to him and so appealing for us to know he knew the product. Our first trip was such a success, we signed up for the 2 bottle wine membership and are very excited to try what Steve has selected this month! Looking forward to trying a few more bottles in the near future! P.S. He also has a cooler full of amazing gelato that we will have to try next time! #supportlocalbusiness read more

I work next door to Wine Cheese etc and was always curious about what they were all about ! Im a big fan of cheeses and salty snacks so when I found out he was doing sandwiches I was all about it . Ive had the truffle shuffle, hambitious, Inigo Montoya & there sandwich of the month right now Smokey and the beef. ( this one is definitely my favorite a super garlicky and potent flavor loveee) . Definitely worth giving them a try ! Its like a char charcuterie board in between two slices of bread ugh who wouldn't want that? Pair it with one of their bags of chips and drink you are good to go! read more

Great selections of wine and bubbles! The owners are helpful and are fabulous!!! Definetly give them a try!

Stephen might be one of the nicest people I've ever met and this might be the most incredible wine, cheese, and gift shop I've seen in a long time. There is an incredible selection of wine - and Stephen is clearly such an expert on the varieties, vineyard owners, wine makers, and spends so much time curating an incredible selection for anyone in the area. If you are lucky enough to live near here, or drive by here, and you love wine, cheese, and other snacks, you'll be in heaven! 1000/10 recommend! read more

Fabulous place to find a gift for someone or just treat yourself! Steve really knows his wines and cheeses! Will be back!

I should've written this review a long time ago... Steve and Kerri are both wonderful people here at Wine Cheese Etc. As a seasoned chef, Steve understands exactly what I'm looking for to pair with the dishes I make. I came across this shop by accident months ago when I was at the coffee shop in the same plaza. Boy am I so happy I walked in! Steve has always been so kind and helpful with everything I've asked for. The shop itself is very clean and nicely organized. Did I mention all of the wines he offers are all under $40?? And most of these are not the typical wines you'll find at a Bevmo or Total Wine! Make sure you stop by and take a look for yourself. You will be coming back for more, I promise. Maybe you might also join the wine club Cheers read more

Just passing by (headed for Baja Sonora next door) and stopped in to check out the cheese. Excellent selection! Lots of nice wines. TONS of "etcetera" tools, snacks, gifts... 5 Stars - Would shop here again. There are lacking a system to keep track of what you've tried, what you do and do not care to try again, so stop at the dollar store and pick up a tiny notebook. Steve is a great guy, very welcoming. read more

Who doesn't love some good charcuterie, am I right?! It's pretty much good for any occasion; and Wine, Cheese, Etc. has you covered! They're a rad wine and cheese shop located in Times Square on the corner of Clark and Spring. They specialize in charcuterie boxes and also offer quality affordable wines from all over the world, carefully selected cheese and cured meats, gourmet groceries, imported beers and ciders, cookbooks, and other unique culinary gifts.   Wifey and I were invited to try out one of their charcuterie boxes and we loved it! Our box consisted of some very excellent meats, cheeses, crackers/breads, and other goodies. The standouts for us were hands down the brie and the gooseberries. Ever had a gooseberry before? Me neither...but they're delicious!! I'm definitely a fan and looking forward to picking up another box. Totally gonna pair it with a couple bottles of wine, too. You can also pick up other gifts for those wine and cheese lovers in your life. And if you're feeling really adventurous, ask them about their wine club. Head on down and show this newly opened gem some love! read more

I have found the PERFECT small business in Long Beach. Steve is very knowledgeable about wines. Everything I have purchased wine, cheese, sandwiches just to name a few, has been wonderful. I recently had a small party of ten catered by them and my friends and family thought everything was delicious. I highly recommend this business for all your wine, cheese and catering needs. read more

This shop...LOVE this place. Wonderful staff, amazing wine and cheese selection. Cute gift ideas, funny cards and delicious snacks too. But wait, the Grab n Go sandwiches OMG!!!

We have now ordered 4 different charcuterie platters from here over the last 6 months or so and every time they have been phenomenal. We have brought them to Christmas parties and even brought some on the Duffy boat for lunchtime snacks. We have gotten something a little different each time and we are always pleasantly surprised. The service is always great. Steve is knowledgeable and friendly. The large platter can stretch pretty far. We switched to a smaller platter this last order and still had plenty left over. I would say this would be a great addition to your party! read more

Ordered a charcuterie box to take on a gondola ride with my wife. The selection of meats and cheeses was great and the selection of crackers to go with it was on point. Will definitely be back for more. Top quality and a nice bottle of French wine to finish it off from their selection in store. read more

This is one of my most favorite places in Long Beach. Steve and Kerri are such wonderful people and the wine, snacks, and grab and go sandwiches are amazing. I love trying the special of the month, but really you can't go wrong. And the price point on the sandwiches is very reasonable knowing you're getting a great sandwich. The wine club is also amazing and I'm always discovering delicious wines that you won't find in the big liquor stores. Not to mention, the events are fun too and always delicious wine and snacks. read more
