Desert Wines and Spirits

Desert Wine and Spirit has a fantastic delivery service. I called the shop on a Saturday morning to have champagne delivered to a friend’s party that same day. I spoke with Costas who efficiently took down all the delivery information and helped me pick out a suitable vintage. Less than two hours later, the bottles were delivered in a beautifully wrapped box with my personal message. I hope to visit this shop in person and thank Costas personally for his wonderful service!

If you’re after a great selection of wine, beer or liquor, coupled with competitive pricing and great customer service, Desert Wines and Spirits is your place. Used to come here in their old location, but the new place is awesome, and now has a serve-​yourself wine tasting area in the back; this feature makes it super easy for me to talk the wife into coming here, while I grab a beer from the cooler to enjoy while she sips wine. They have tasting events every Saturday, which are a great way to find new favorites without shelling out an arm and a leg.
If you have any questions, be sure to ask the owner, Costa; he will know the answer!

Bigger. Better. Beauty.
Now known as the former Desert Wines & Spirits — Go Deli Market has arrived. I personally wish it had been named GO! Deli & Market. Why? Because when you are always running late as I am, this place is a giant GO!
The new location is in same complex as before, but much, much larger. The Tasting Room is in rear of store. It’s lovely. It has some seating as well.
Just about all the giant California names in wine are found here. Old and new world appellations are represented too.
Haven’t tried the food yet but displays look good.
I took special interest in this business after a wonderful and surprising shopping experience my wife repeated to me in the car one night after picking up gin for a little home Happy Hour. I was lazy and waited outside. When she returned with purchase, she said that after a few questions about our needs, a particular «house» gin for easy drinking was recommended. Very simple and inexpensive. A few complimentary limes were thrown in bag to save us effort to run to another market. These are small things I just don’t see in retail, ever. And I haven’t forgotten it.
Yes, I can pick up wine anywhere in Palm Springs. I choose Go.

Great wine that comes with personal service and a crowd of loyal customers can be found at Desert Wine and Spirits. It was one of the first shops I sought out when I moved to Palm Springs back in 2006 and they have been a favorite ever since.

Only get the original italian maraschino cherries. descent selection of quality, they really don’t bother with crap = a plus.

My husband and I recently went here purchase a few bottles of vino before heading to our bed and breakfast in Desert Palm Springs. We talked to the cashier and he told us that the owner actually tries every bottle of wine before he sells it on his shelf. Oh how I want that job. =) I think that is really cool and goes above and beyond the «not selling your customer something you, yourself wouldn’t buy.»
Whenever we come back to the area we will always shop here.
Make sure if your coming from downtown Palm Springs to slow when it shows on your GPS that your close. It’s a hard right in the far back of the shopping mall. It took us a few turn arounds to find it.

I buy wine for dinner parties and gifts. The man that has helped me several times has been polite and answered my wine and spirit questions with out blinking. I have found a new favorite wine thanks to the owner and it was a hit. He also directed me to find a very special gift (Sottish scotch or whiskey Im still a little confused about the differences even though he politely explained them to me). He also shows you alternatives to save your budget without making you feel cheap :)). They are great and they wrapped the gift for me.
The gift was perfect!!!
Thank You

What can I say!!! Wonderful selections, wonderful service, wonderful owners. Very knowledgable but never pushy. They have put together gift baskets for us many times and the recipients have been so pleased. We live in Palm Springs and are so happy to support our local businesses. Prices are great, and the wine tastings on Saturdays are always fun and a great way to meet others that also love wine!!!

A surprising find in a dull looking shopping center. The store has a little of everything. From little mini-​bottles to 1985 vintage port. They even have a refrigerated case with a variety of gourmet food items.
Although the wine selection is small, there are plenty of quality bottles. The liquor selection is deeper and again with quality items. But the best thing about this store is that almost everything is discounted about 10% off retail. Periodic tasting events are offered in the store. There’s nothing like trying before buying.
PS-​The store location has changed since I wrote my review. They are still in the same shopping center, but at a different store front and inside the Go Deli Market.

The weekend before Thanksgiving they recommended wines that went well with turkey and all the trimmings. My family loved the wine I brought to dinner!

Small local wine shops may not have every label you are looking for but what they do have is service to help you find that perfect bottle.
Desert Wines is owned and operated by Costa and he knows everything you need to know about wine. And this is from a former wine shop owner. He is not lost in all the wine spectator top rated marketed wines, and takes the time to find some great gems at affordable prices.
Another strength of this place is his affordable selection of whiskeys and his deep selection of liqueurs. If you are looking for an odd liqueur most likely you will find it here at a reasonable price. Any store can be filled with $ 100 bottles of single malts but Costa fills his with great finds in more realistic price ranges.

Love love love this store– great selection of wines and spirits with excellent price points, owners are very good at finding the perfect wine or spirit for the occasion! They have a huge selection packed into that space.
Saturday wine tastings are extraordinary with a different theme/​winery every week and only $ 10!
They also have a great executive gift service year round! Check them out!

Saturday wine tastings are not to be missed! Great deals on wine and gift services. Check it out!

Great selection and gift services available, Saturday wine tastings from 4 – 5:30PM
