I tried buying some wine online and every time I went to check out the available quantity went down. It was a future and this experience scared me away

I used to love going to this place because of its huge selection and helpful clerks who really knew wines. I visited yesterday for the first time in a long time. Hardly any customers yet not one employee came to ask if they could help me find something during the 30 minutes I was there. I thought perhaps they had laid off most of their employees but I saw at least three if them sitting behind their desks. Of course, I should ask for help I need it, but it is also nice to be asked. The inventory seemed smaller overall. In addition, the Burgundy and Bourdeaux sections of the shop seemed disorganized and depleted, although those regions were the primary reason for my visit.

Most of their store clarks are attentive, helpful, and even enthusiastic. On the other hand, their cashiers are always blunt, looking annoyed. What a shame.

Great choice, however very expensive!!! Ask for Garen, he knows the best wines for the fairest prices, great recommendations, or Lance , very knowledgeable too. However not very friendly people at the check out. No hello not goodbye , at pretty unhappy to help to bring the boxes to the car.

Some say Wine House is the best wine/liquor store in Los Angeles. I don't disagree if you are looking for a very broad selection at fair prices.

This review is only for WSET courses with Monica. I recently did the WSET 3 with Monica and really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Previously I did level 2 online and to be candid I didn't learn much outside self study. I felt like I learned more in two in person classes than my entire level 2 online. Monica is really good at explaining the course work. She's also a very gifted taster so being and to blind taste and dive into wines with her stands out as well. She also set us up for success by constantly reminding us that we need to self study outside class or we would never pass. It definitely motivated me to take the course work very seriously and practice essay questions from the book. Would highly recommend Monica!

Love the friendly service and the ability to get curbside pickup when I know what I want and have time to order it ahead of time. Have enjoyed events there and like the variety of not only regions but also price points.

Friendly, wine knowledgeable service. My go to spot for helping me choose wine and spirits for any occasion. Fantastic variety, hard to find bottles. Moderately priced.

The only place to go in LA for wine or spirits. No pretension, no judgment... Just friendly people who know a lot about what they sell. Thanks to Richard who spent time with me on Saturday picking out a bottle of whiskey to give as a gift. He was not only helpful and professional, he was fun to talk to, and I learned a few very interesting facts about scotch!

This is a review primarily focused on the Wine House's wine education program, specifically their certification programs through the Wine & Spirits Education Trust (WSET). The Wine House offers what is likely the broadest wine education program of any venue in Los Angeles County. I initially enrolled in a Level 2 WSET Intermediate certification program in 2020 then continued on with a Level 3 Advanced certification, which completed in March 2021, right at the start of Covid. Through the Level 3 program I made several "tasting group" friends and some of us decided to continue on to a much more rigorous, 2 year Diploma program. The Wine House's education program is headed by Monica Marin, herself a DipWSET graduate who holds many other certifications. Monica is an outstanding instructor - her passion, humor and ability to connect with students is one of the primary reasons I continued with the program. There is so much to potentially learn about the wines of the world - both through her direct instruction and the guest lecturers that she brought in to speak about specific wine regions or winemaking styles, Monica keeps all of her students engaged. The further you get in the program the more "self-study" is required, but Monica and the Wine House provide strong guidance. I strongly recommend for anyone interested in learning more about wine.

A massive inventory of wine from around the world with a knowledgable staff to help find the wines and spirits you’re looking for!

Such a good experience ... ambiance, particularly music, lighting and decor when entering from outside was a nice start. Server has a cool vibe and support staff are super friendly. Food, wine and desert could not have been better, all set the stage for great discussions with our company and the best time. Loved it!
