“Vendome Wines & Spirits in Los Angeles offers an exceptional experience for anyone interested in exploring the world of Portuguese wines. I recently attended a Portuguese wine class there, and it was nothing short of fantastic from start to finish.
From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the welcoming atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. The class itself was a comprehensive journey through Portugal's rich wine regions, expertly guided by a passionate and well-informed instructor. Each wine we tasted was thoughtfully selected to highlight the diverse flavors and styles unique to Portuguese winemaking. The detailed explanations about each wine's origin, grape variety, and production methods enriched the tasting experience, making it both educational and enjoyable.
What sets Vendome Wines & Spirits apart is not just their impressive selection of wines, but also the accompanying snacks and cheeses they offer. The assortment of snacks and delicious cheeses available for purchase perfectly complemented the wines we tasted. Each bite enhanced the flavors of the wines, creating a harmonious and memorable tasting experience. The quality of the cheese, in particular, was outstanding, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening.
The ambiance of Vendome Wines & Spirits is another highlight. The store is beautifully arranged, with a cozy and inviting vibe that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or a curious beginner, the staff is always ready to assist and provide personalized recommendations.
In addition to the Portuguese wine class, Vendome Wines & Spirits hosts a variety of other wine and spirit events, making it a go-to destination for anyone looking to expand their palate and knowledge. Overall, my experience at Vendome Wines & Spirits was exceptional. The combination of great wine, delicious snacks, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a must-visit for wine lovers. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a top-notch wine experience in Los Angeles.”
“A friendly little neighborhood liquor store. Plenty of soft drinks and snacks also. You can get your usb chargers here chewing tobacco beer liquor. I've never had a problem coming here and I've always been treated very well.”
“Amazing selection of everything. If they don’t have it, you don’t need it. Super friendly staff and lots of parking. Make sure you also check out the tacos in the parking lot at night!!!!”
“My favorite liquor store and small market. Good selection of whiskey, wine and beer. Mostly at good prices. Great place to pick up a few snacks and food items. The staff are wonderful, always welcoming and very helpful, always carrying the heavy packages to the car. They kept us going during the pandemic, it was far easier to shop.”
“The wines that they had was so flavorful and lagers too. They had an immense scope of wines that you could browse. The staff will certainly assist you with excursion in picking wines.”
“In 1960/61, I worked at Standard Station # 3975 right accross the street from Circus Liquors. The gentleman, who was always there, I think was the owner by the name of "Vee Cyracuse". He knew a quite a bit about wines and used to recommend various wines to me. One that I can still remember was grey riesling. Connie Stevens and Linda Evenstad {to be "Evans"} frequented the gas station. I never chanced to wait on Connie Stevens but became aquainted with Linda who lived about 4 blocks away with her mother and half-brother on Oxnard St. Linda had a '55 Chevy 2-door hard top with white on top and blue on the bottom and Connie had one just like it with red on the bottom. Linda had a job as ticket girl at Growman's (sp?) Chinese Theater and I sometimes picked her up there after work and we went to her house and had TV dinners in the kitchen while her mother and half-brother sat watching TV a few feet away. That was the smallest house I've ever been in. It had two bedrooms and one bathroom. They converted part of the living room into a bedroom for her half-brother by stringing a sheet accross. I sometimes wonder whether the people who live there now have any idea that Linda Evans once lived there! Her bedroom was on the west side of the house and her mother's was on the east side with the bathroom in between. They strung another sheet accross that separated the living room from the front door where they had the TV. I still have the address book with her address and phone number in it but I won't give out the house number which might destroy the current owner's privacy! I haven't seen her since those days. It's kind of hard to keep up with somebody who makes $millions!”
“I recently visited Saticoy Liquor Store and had an exceptional experience thanks to their amazing cashier. From the moment I walked in, he made me feel welcome and valued as a customer. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the different types of alcohol and offered great recommendations based on my taste preferences. I was blown away by the vast selection of wines and liquors that the store offered. It was clear that the owners take pride in offering a wide range of high-quality products. The prices were also very reasonable, which made my shopping experience even more enjoyable. I was particularly impressed with the cashier's professionalism and customer service skills. He went above and beyond to ensure that I found what I was looking for and even offered to help me carry my purchases to my car. He was friendly, patient, and a true pleasure to interact with. Overall, I would highly recommend Saticoy Liquor Store to anyone looking for a wide selection of quality products and exceptional customer service. Ivan is truly an asset to the store and I look forward to returning soon! Five stars all around!”
“Nice family owned establishment. These guys have a little bit of everything when it comes to basic household essentials from toilet paper to pancake mix. Everything is a at a very affordable price point, not to mention, they have great hours -open at 6am and close at 11pm- also, there is almost ALWAYS a parking spot directly outside the stores front door. ??”
“The best self-service water station in the valley. It's $1 for a big 5 gallon container. Dude that works there is cool. The water also tastes good. When I come in to town from Santa Clarita I bring my water bottles to come here. I highly recommend.”
“Dude hands down best liquor/market in the noho area. For me it's a danger going there everytime I don't care if it is in ghetto, that's my enemies hood but best believe that won't stop me. This is a fantastic place”
“New owner, and he's quite a vibe. He did not have to be charming and kind but I guess if it's already happening, I'll allow it. Prices are great and I'm saying that knowing Ralph's is my spouse and Phil's is my sneaky link. Solid vibes. ”
“Excellent selection of products for a small place, including local food and drink products. Staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and recognizes regulars.”
“Very nice peeps behind the counter! Treat you like regulars. The array in spirits, sparkling wines, etc. is quite decent. You can find higher end wines at reasonable prices (liquor store competitve). Store is always clean, well stocked- dependable stock; they've never been out of whatever sip I went in for. Well, once but, only because they just don't carry the item I happened to be looking for ... & no other liquor stores, or market near by carried it either. Highly recommended.”
“Great! The three people who work here are very friendly and personable!!! I see reviews saying that the employees could come across as rude, but cmon, can you imagine the crazy people they have to deal with on a daily basis?! Once you get to know them they are really amazing people! I would recommend this place to anyone! They are a north Hollywood staple!”
“Great customer service the young lady working, suggested new flavors and drinks. They have a amazing variety of alcohol and her friendliness had me buying everything. She suggested highly recommend the store most of all first time I ever get a receipt without having to ask for it. Awesome.”

8012 Laurel Canyon Blvd #1427, North Hollywood“I needed something special for the boss to smooth over troubles at work. The young man behind the counter was helpful and patient, finally guiding me to a premium spirit that was affordable and of good quality. If it's not a Friday or Saturday night, the staff at Handy Mart are very knowledgable and accomodating.”
“He estado por aquiya un par de veces y la verdad que me pare e que este es un buen lugar donde puedes encontrar casi todo lo que puedas nesecitar, en un determinado momento cuando quizás no puedas o no estés en condición de ir hasta tu tienda regular... altamente recomendable muy autentico y surtido verdaderamente una tienda de conveniencia ???”
“Despite the fact that we had no reservations, we were seated at a large table in the middle of the room. I appreciated the service's adaptability, promptness, cheerfulness, and comprehension. You may buy wines by the glass or browse the wine cellar for a bottle to go. We'll be there, and I'll notify my friends and relatives!”
“Riverton liquors has a great selection of sodas and drinks, much better and healthier options compared to 7-11 or most convenience stores! Glad I am in walking distance. They also have CBD drinks.”
“Quaint wine and spirit shop with a fair amount of stock, especially in terms of spirits. I've typically stop in when nearby for water, lotto tickets or snacks... Going on a walk in the neighborhood and stopping in to cool off is a fav... Especially since the guys are pretty nice inside and the prices are fair. I think they offer some discounts on bulk buys for wine and spirits, but I only purchase one or two at a time here #SupportSmall will inquiry a bit more for next time. Damon Oasis could used a little modern updating/TLC, but it's also still a cool shop with good service. Very small parking lot, but never full! Street parking available as well on the corner of Whitsett Avenue/ Riverside Drive, diagonal from The Thirsty Merchant and directly next door to Burritos El Chavo.”
“We were throwing an office pot and we needed to get a bunch of different vintage style bourbon liquor and vodka and a bunch of other assorted party favours and they really came through for us really provided all the convenience we needed to throw a great gathering plus it super convenient nearby strongly recommend plus easy parking make this a place in your community you can go to and enjoy it”
