They stock some great wines, offer a nice selection of cigars in the walk-in humidor, and even offer more than ten organic beers! If you have any special requests they will gladly get it for you and are knowledgeable about any type of spirit. Not a great place to p/u a 24 pack of MGD, but they do carry the basics as well. It is a great place to try something different as the beer selection is quite good in 6-packs and individual bottles. Wine and beer tastings happening all the time.

Vendome does what many alcohol stores in California do with their beer selection. It pays attention to a handful of major microbreweries then it offers the usual truckloads of "Macro Swill" that Middle America still worships (I'm hoping that we in the West are evolving past this need for cheap beer that has no taste and gets us fat). Then it offers a very large selection of beers from all over Europe. There's no real rhyme or reason to the selection, but it is large. It has a few good micros that will keep me coming back (as there are no better beer stores in Southern California). The staff is friendly and they will be happy to give suggestions to anyone who's trying to find their bearing in the sea of European beers. From the looks of the place they have a good selection of wine and spirits too! Also, it has a smoke shop and a bar where they do tastings of wine and beer at certain times all week. It's a great place for finding that "hard to find" European beer or wine. I'm still waiting for that ultimate beer store, but Vendome is worth the trip to have a look!
Pros: Great Selection of European Beers, Lots of Good Wines and Spirits, Unpretentious
Cons: Lack of Micro selection, A little spendy
