The Wine Hotel

Best wine shop in Los Angeles. Shopping at The Wine Hotel is like being given the key to an old and wise collectors cellar.
The eclectic selection mostly from the old world is exceptionally curated with a strong emphasis on great vintages.
This place speaks to the soul of my inner wine nerd. I’m never going anywhere else if I can help it. God willing.

I’m a huge fan! I’ve shopped here since it opened for the excellent, edited selection of well-​priced old world French and Italian wines. Dan tastes and selects every wine there and is extremely knowledgeable about food and wine pairings. I always get at least 12 bottles for the 10% mixed case discount. Highly recommended!

Dan at the Wine Hotel is our hero. He matched wine and beverages to multiple moments and courses at our wedding. Everything was brilliantly paired to the point that even the very experienced waiters commented on how well it was done.
Dan made this so special and we really can’t thank him enough. He has also provided us with many other brilliant suggestions that constantly hit the mood just right.
Go here!

Love this place!!! I will never buy wine from the grocery store again. If you want quality wine at reasonable prices, this is the place to go.

I am seriously sad i didn’t discover this place before — have lived close by for nearly four years and never went in. Great selection — really knowledgeable proprietor. Really happy with the wine I got!

Great Service, great knowledge, fantastic pricing

This place is fan-​tastic!

Love this place! The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable, and unpretentious!
My boyfriend and I visited for the first time and felt totally welcome. The gentlemen that helped us didn’t even pause when we told him we were looking for a couple of bottles for under $ 20. They have a lot of high end bottles, but they also have a lot of good value finds.
We are fans!

This rating is not for the wine lockers, but rather, the casual saturday wine tastings they host. I’ve been twice and each was fun and educational. Usually, they showcase about 4 – 5 wines each time. They start with the normal tasting pours — and then after you’ve tried and discussed every one, they leave the bottles out for «free pours». They also provide yummy snacks to go along with the wines. And, you get a discount on the highlighted wines (I tihnk 15%) and on their other wines (10%). Their obvious enthusiastm about wine is quite infectious! You have to book in advance by calling them directly — or booking through
.

The Wine Hotel is a great place if you like to shop for higher end and hard to find wines and they have a huge storage facility which is used by a lot of the local restaurants and wine conoisseurs.
We went to one of their wine tastings ($ 20 for 5 wines, incl apps) and had a great time. Tasted five delicious French wines, snacked a bit, learned a little in our quest to become more knowledgable and all in all had a good time. They have a small but thorough retail selection and Lou (the owner) will help you find whatever you’re looking for. Highly recommended.

Looking for those wines you read about in Wine Spectator or like magazine? Look no further!
I’m surprised to be the first to review this place…
The wine hotel is a quaint wine storage facility AND shop tucked away on third street, just a few blocks from the Grove Mall. They have a small selection of QUALITY wines that range from around $ 30-​$ 40 (I’m assuming b/​c I’ve never purchased anything there for less than $ 75) to thousands… If you want to give someone a bottle (or case) of wine as a gift, you should come here. I was able to find the #3 of 2006 (according to Wine Spectator) here. They also sell Screaming Eagle. The Amarone is lovely.
In addition, you may want to buy the chocolates ($ 16). Delicious.
The staff is friendly and knows all about wine. So ask away.
Definitely a favorite place of mine.
