Good selection but NOT the best prices

by jkibler

I live in Hollywood and was very happy when I find out K&L was moving into my neighborhood. I typically buy my wine in Marina Del Rey (LA Wine Company or Beverage Warehouse) or Orange (Wine Exchange). It was very nice to have such a well-reviewed store so close.

I finally got around to visiting and left the store somewhat disappointed. While the store is well stocked with worldwide wines, every single wine that I was familiar with was more expensive at K&L than it was elsewhere.

Glad to have the resource but my wine buying binges will be held elsewhere.

• Pros: Selection

Best Selection, Price, Service

by chicmca

This is THE place to buy wines. I?ve been buying from them on-line for about 1.5 years. Their selections are from all over the world at routinely the best prices. But for me the clincher is the staff. Knowledgeable, friendly, and no attitudes (unlike a certain store on the Westside). I once asked a staffer to recommend the best wines under $10. They gave me the names of three wines, one from France, one from Italy, and one from the state of Washington?ALL excellent. Easily comparable to any wine in the $20-30 range. How refreshing?you get the feeling they really love what they do (not just trying to make a buck). Of course they also carry the rare and expensive. And, best of all, you can order anything in their inventory on-line and they?ll have it waiting for you to pick-up or they?ll deliver. If you love wine or are just starting to get into it, this is a great place to shop.

• Pros: great selection, price, staff
• Cons: addictive

Dionysus take heed! Your newest temple has now opened in L.A.!!!

by chuco13

I live in San Diego County, and I have been buying from K & L in San Pancho for about a year. So having a K & L relatively close to home is a god send!!!!! Their selection of affordable wines is great, as is the selection of incredibly priced "first growths" ( That I will probably never be able to afford!)

I was like a little kid in a candy store when I first visited it the store to pick up my wines I had ordered thru the internet.

I look forward to getting up to L.A. more often now!

• Pros: fantastic selection
• Cons: busy L.A. neighborhood.
