Mission Wine & Spirits

Just got off the phone with Nick.
Great customer service. Very knowledgeable & willing to give advice.
Nick was able to locate the 4 bottles of Pyrat Cask 1623 that I needed.

Great prices and if you have a wine question, ask Al.

This place has such a huge selection of drinks! Not to many places has as much top shelf liquor as these guys do! They had Hibiki 12yr and 17yr in stock. Prices are competitive. Mission Win and Spirits has become my go to store to stock up before any event.

They’ve turned to the dark side on most of their bourbon prices. I use to enjoy this place, now I feel like I’m being taken for some bourbon bubble newbie. Pikesville Rye for $ 99 bucks? ECBP for $ 149? EH Taylor for $ 149… Really? I’m going to start passing on there guys.

Mission liquor is the place to go. They have all the best spirits and wines with the best customer service. Every time I come here Nick knows where everything is and is very knowledgable about all the spirits. This is definitely a place to come get all you alcohol needs. Thanks Nick and crew.

I’ve searched and searched in different states and within California and by far the best place to buy alcohol hands down is Mission Wine and Spirits. If you’re reading this and wondering I wonder if he’s exaggerating… example Patron at Mission (I don’t even like Patron) is ~34 at my new place (due to moving) is 47. Please go to Mission Wine and Spirits for me.

An awesome selection
Needed some good eye whisky.
Great selection
He employees were very helpful
Parking is convenient
Would go back anytime

Excellent neighborhood store for all your liquor and cigar needs. This place is huge, with top shelf selection. Their prices can’t be beat. I have gotten great deals on champagne, gin, wine, rum… This is my go to market when I’m looking for something special at a great value.
Their walk in humidor is impressive — floor to ceiling full out tasty stogies.
Check out their massive selection. Like me, I think you’ll find something special.

This store has the most extensive selection of fine alcohol in the Pasadena area (yeah more than bevmo!) Other stores may have more beer or wine or what not overall but in quality this store is it. With that said though, the prices for their products vary wildly. They definitely have some great deals on the their beverages, but some (a good number actually) they over charge by A LOT! So you should do your due diligence before just buying any alcohols here willy nilly. From what I can tell, they better deals are on lower priced tipples that are $ 100 or under. Some of their higher end products are wildly over priced.
If you’re under the gun and you need something somewhat rare though, these maybe your guys. Goodluck!

Im speaking tequila Mainly when I say their prices consistently beat K & L, Total wine and Bevmo. The only place I’ve found cheaper bottles of tequila is in mexico. I live about 6 hours away in K&L territory (bay area) but when Im passing LA i will be stopping every time! first time there i came for the Avion 1944 priced at 109 online usually 145 – 160 everywhere else. It was priced like at 125 on the shelf but they honored the online price! bought a 1.75 liter bottle of clase azul for less that 170 I believe a bit cheaper that other places. of course other stores have certain brands cheaper like total wine has don eduardo anejo for like 5 dollars less than mission but the majority of the bottles where 10 – 20 $ under the normal price if not more. I will probably buy online since the reviews say its so fast and convenient

Wino heaven and its within walking distance of my new home? Ding ding ding! We have a winner :)
I went by this week to pick up a bottle of champagne, and a very nice employee was able to help me out. In the process he informed me that their is a sommelier, and they host weekly wine tastings anywhere from $ 10-​$ 50.
So more updates to come because I will be going. A lot!

I was a regular in the Sherman Oaks Mission Wine and Spirits.
I am happy to say the standard of wisdom and varieties of quality booze is consistent across the chain.
In terms of stock, these guys have even more than the one in Sherman Oaks and I still love it and want to live in it.

This is the best liquor store I have been in. They stock a huge variety of what seems to be everything containing alcohol along with cigars and other stuff. The prices are extremely competitive (often times out pricing Costco), but my absolute favorite thing about this place is the knowledge level of their employees. So many times I have relied on their advice when selecting a wine or champagne and they have always been spot on. It’s nice to know I can go in there with my extremely limited knowledge of wine and come out with a great bottle appropriate to the meal I am having or event I am attending. #missionwine #pasadena #glendale

Got a gift for my boss through Mission Wine and Spirits. They had a specialty German liquor that I wasn’t able to find anywhere else, and thanks to Mission Wine and Spirits, my boss had a very merry holiday!
I was able to order online, and then they called to insure the order was by someone 21 and over. Delivery was incredibly easy and not too pricy. If I needed to, I would use their service again. Thanks again!

Found an Oprah’s Favorite thing here 5-​days before Christmas!
Thank-​you!!!
Great service!

I can’t thank these guys enough!
I wanted to buy a bottle of Ramsay Pinot Noir for my general manager, and apparently this is the only store in all of California that sells it.
I called them up Monday, 4 days before Christmas, and the online rep said that they can typically deliver within a day.
I placed the order and as promised, they delivered it to my work! Great experience, I would definitely use them again.

Very impressed by Mission Wine and Spirits.
Pros:
+ Outstanding selection. All other stores are sold out of some rare whiskys (particularly Japanese 12+ years), but they have a good selection of them, as well as other exotics. There are dozens and dozens of each type of liquor including bourbons, ryes, etc.
+ Decent prices, better than Bevmo and Total Wine, not as cheap as Costco (but who is?)
+ There can be a line inside to pay, but it moves fast.
+ Knowledgeable wine experts. I was able to describe the wine tastes of one of my gift recipients this year, and he was able to immediately recommend an Alsacian wine from France/​Germany and provide a very detailed description and history.
Cons:
— A few of the shelves and refrigerators can get a little disorganized, but it is Christmas shopping time, so I can excuse the mess given the rush of shoppers.
— It can be hard to see the exotic bottles behind the counter because they’re so far away, even with good eyes. I wish they’d set up a glass case to be able to view the expensive items up close through glass like Bevmo, Total Wine and Costco do instead of putting them 15 feet away.
Overall highly recommended and I will be back.

My husband and I were on a mission to find a nice tequila for a friend and Mission Wine and Spirits came to the rescue. It’s nicely organized and pricing seems to be slightly cheaper than BevMo. I suppose it depends though. We also ended up buying a bottle of Sans Liege The Offering for us, this, BevMo didn’t have. Mission is now on our booze round up list.

Ah, what can I say… Mission Wine & Spirits is the place to go for all of your spirit and mind altering needs! Haha. Yes, they have a great selection of wines and liquors from all over the world to choose from. Depending on which brands of liquors you like, to the choices of fine wines whether reds or chardonnays, chances is they will have something to suit your needs. Their prices are a little cheaper than Bev Mo in most cases. But depending on which geographical location the brand is from may vary. More traditional brands such as the Goose Vodka, Belvedere, Hennessy, and their Sauvignon, or the bubbly dessert wines are a little less expensive to my knowledge.
The place is well stocked with a private temperature controlled room in the back catering to the more sophisticated drinkers. Their selection in that room of course caters to a niche market.
Mission Wines and Spirits is a hidden gem in Pasadena, CA. They’re well kept, and is pretty much able to meet your spirit needs. They are usually busy with people coming in and out. The staff is quite in helping while you tell them what suits your taste buds. Everybody is usually nice.
On weekends, their small parking lot can be full. But it shouldn’t be an issue as people leave right away. But please becareful while backing to avoid kissing bumpers as another person almost nudged me.
Happy drinking without driving!

So my knowledge in single-​malt Scotch is limited to a highly-​upvoted list on reddit.
This place has everything listed and at lower or equal prices. Pretty awesome, right?
Super nice and helpful staff, too, if you feel like venturing outside of the list like I did.
Also, WHEN IN DOUBT, REDDIT.
