The 20 Best Wine Shops In Los Angeles

"With three locations across Los Angeles in the DTLA Arts District, Silverlake, and Echo Park, Wine Stop is a one-stop shop for ethically sourced wines. Each wine is sourced on-site and refrigerated throughout the entirety of the transportation process to ensure the quality of every bottle remains top-notch. The selection and the prices at Wine Stop DTLA are unmatched. With a mission of high quality and low prices at the forefront of the Wine Stop model, there is a bottle for every taste and every budget. Each month, Wine Stop DTLA also offers an array of tasting events. December's special tasting event is just $25 for three wines paired with three kinds of cheese served in the quaint storefront and is a great way to get a taste of Wine Stop DTLA."

WINE STOP 

Downtown LA & Silver Lake

ā€œOwned 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.ā€

07/21/2021: LAist.com "When I want  tasty, affordable wines (I'm talking $20 and under/bottle), I head to Wine Stop in the Arts District. If you spot a black bottle with a red "Pronto" label, snap up a few. This bold Italian Lambrusco Secco sells out quickly." - Cesar Hernandez, LAist
