WINE STOP 

Downtown LA & Silver Lake

“Owned by Alvaro Cardenas, this humble wine shop started off in Downtown LA and recently opened a second location in Silver Lake, both of which sell some of the best and most affordable wines in the city. Some notable stand outs include Pronto, a rich lambrusco (his best seller) and Apiarum, a crispy but refreshing sauvignon. Most of the bottles here are under $20 and Cardenas, who worked for JK Imports for over 20 years, stocks a consistently stellar selection that makes it fun to experiment with new labels. Every wine at this shop is personally selected by Cardenas who goes to each vineyard, to ensure quality.”
