Marina Del Rey Liquormart

I went in looking for an anniversary gift for some friends. The woman behind the counter was extremely helpful, and had several great suggestions. I left with a gift which was greatly appreciated. And the prices were pretty good, too.

I wandered in to get a beer while staying at the hotel next door… Whoa! I thought (wrong) that it would be cheesy, but noooooo, it is a very good wine shop with a super selection! Awesome stuff from Ridge to Ladera to imports to lots of chilled wines, etc. This will now be my go-​to wine shop in this area.

I was driving around the area of this Liquor store on Wednesday (11-​20-​2013) when within a 5 minute time frame I observed my lottery numbers on two vehicles license plates. I figured that was a sign telling me to play the lottery so that is exactly what I set out to do.
Marina Del Rey Liquor happened to be the first store I passed that had a lottery sign in the window so I stopped. This Liquor store is located on the corner W. Washington Blvd in between Marr Street & Oxford Ave. If you are visiting this store in the morning during the week (M-​F) there is no street parking on W. Washington Blvd so you are required to park in the small parking lot just adjacent to this business. When I say the parking lot is small, I mean it is small like 2 – 3 cars and the ‘so-​called’ parking lot is full.
I had the parking lot to myself so I was able to park and walk right in. As I approached the front doors I observed the lottery kiosk was located basically on the sidewalk in front of this business which I thought was a little strange. I obtained my slips and proceeded to fill out my numbers. After doing so I walked inside and observed Marina Del Rey Liquor to be quite nice. This store had quite a selection of food, alcohol, snacks and even had a sectioned off area for wine. The wine selection here is pretty extensive, if you are looking for that hard to find bottle and do not feel like searching out a big ‘box’ store you will probably find it here for a 10% — 15% more.
I handed my lottery slips to the man working the cash register; he processed them and wished me a good day and good luck.
Later on that evening I checked my numbers and on a $ 19 dollar chance investment I made $ 301, I call that a victory.
I had luck here so if and when I am back in the area I will without question stop by here again. I logged the first tip for this location=)

Great wine selection. Walk-​in temperature and humidity controlled cellar is an awesome feature in such a small space and guarantees that ’85 Haut-​Brion is still drinkable. Plus, David is a really nice and knowledgable guy.
