Vendome Wine & Spirits

This place has been my go to shop for alcohol for a while now. I’m more of a beer person so I’m quite happy with their selection. And, don’t be shy on the beer you don’t see, they may be able to work something out. I have roommates that are big French wine enthusiasts, so from Bordeaux to Bourgogne’s this place helps me out when I need to get stuff for the people at home. From time to time I’ll learn something from either beer or wine from the workers, in a way kinda enjoy what you’re drinking if know more about it.

I have yet to stump this place. The employees are always kind and eager to help. I wouldn’t shop here for what you can otherwise find at Costco, because it is quite a bit more expensive. But if you are looking for something special, they’ll have it!

Steve and Chuck are ever so helpful!!! Love them and this store!!!

Very rude owner and customer service I have been a customer for two years and then they tell me I can’t park their to pay their over priced beer prices. Awful service horrible prices and just a bad athmosphere in general. Beware no customer parking HORRIBLE service. I will
Never be back again and they should go out of buisness soon enough with their Overpriced merchandise and Rude Awful service. Who ever works their Friday’s between 2−4pm should be fired because he lost you a lot of buisness with his awful
Negative attitude

Nice selection and product presentation, also very nice cigar cave but as far as whisky prices they are way too expensive compare to K&L Wines or even Bevmo!

I really love this place. I prefer it to many other spots in the valley, but some times stuff happens that I find shady. They don’t always put out recently released beers. I shouldn’t have to constantly ask the employees to check if they this or that. Don’t get me started on Pliny, I was able to get my hands on a bottle a little under a month ago, tried again, and the employee tells me they haven’t received any Pliny in over 8 months. Could they be saving it for specific customers? Who knows.

This place is GREAT! I would give it 6 stars if I could! I went in tonight looking for a decently nice bottle of red wine for a present for my boss and I got quick, extremely knowledgeable service.
And not only does Vendome have great service, but the place is really pretty big. I also got some good sour beers for myself.
I had an issue with a gift card and they were extremely patient and flexible! Top notch service. Really impressed.

One of the best places to buy craft beer, wine, and spirits in the Valley.
I recently visited and picked up a few finds. Not as overwhelming as a place like Ramirez Beverage Center, but a solid place to stop by to pick up some bottles for a tasting.
Not many places carry Txakoli, but I was very pleased to see a bottle stocked here.

Steve can find whatever type of wine you need. Describe what you are looking for and he can find it for you. Large selection reasonable prices.

THE… BEST…
I live close to 5 liquor stores, I still drive to this one. The best selection, the best knowledgeable staff, and let us not forget to mention the WINE TASTING! It really doesn’t get better than that! It’s like a hidden gem! I’m here at least once a week tasting wine with friends! Absolutely love it. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

This place has huge wine selection but the beer selection not so much bummer… But I did find a couple favorite craft beer that I like. They do carry bootlegger’s mint chocolate chip porter that one is hard to find so I end up getting 3 bottles .lol. Also got a couple of bottle of Rogue .The staff there are very friendly and helpful.

After ordering two bottles of out-​of-​stock vodka from Brian, I left my name and phone so that he could call me when they came in… after a few days of not hearing, I called and was told that Brian was on vacation… I asked, «What about my vodka order?» I was told that my vodka was indeed there and would be held behind the counter… next day, I drove 12 miles only to be told «That vodka is out-​of-​stock and the distributor doesn’t have it.» BEGS THE QUESTION: WHY WAS I TOLD OPPOSITE? …REAL JERKS… don’t bother!

Ambiance:
*Setting is inside a liquor store.
*Some street parking if you make a right at the street next to the parking lot into the residential area. If you park on the street, Vendome will give you a discount!
Food:
*The Wines you taste are okay, nothing special. But the prices, $ 5 to taste 15 wines, is amazing! Great place to spend a couple hours with friends.

I’ve never met a beer I didn’t like enough to refuse.
Great selection of California beers and imported beers. Only if you’re interesting in drinking tasty things, of course.
Friendly staff. Expect a good ribbing as initation into this cool club.

I don’t understand all the great reviews-​the people running this store don’t know jack about wine! I have an uncle who’s a wine maker and accomplished sommelier, so I’ve been exposed to a lot of wine. (I’ve been spoiled, I admit, by my whole family’s wonderful knowledge/​selection. I also dated a chef for 3 years that specialized in wine pairings and I was lucky enough to taste wines that far surpassed the quality of our relationship.
That being said, while I’ve tasted countless spectacular wines, I simply can’t afford to buy wines in the aforementioned price range for myself. I had a dinner party to attend and I wanted to bring a couple bottles that may not be as recognizable as a La Tâche or a Petrus, but that tasted wonderful. Anyone that drinks a lot of wine knows that some $ 150 bottles can tast like $ 30 and vice versa, so I asked the self-​proclaimed owner to help me find one cab and one Sauvignon blanc for under $ 100, collectively. He walked, with an air of authority, through the aisles and gushed about the perfection of two separate bottles of amazingly undervalued wines. Again, I’ve been lucky enough to taste plenty of high quality wine (thank you friends & family), but am not accustomed to shopping for $ 50 dollar bottles (I’d be broke in months)!!!
Wow, let me conclude faster than I’ve begun the story. I purchased these recommended wines, brought them to this party for 6, and all I experienced was bitter taste, followed by bitter faces from every one of the dinner guests. I was mortified as every face tried to feign pleasure. It was terrible. While I’ve learned (over and over) the invaluable lesson that anyone with any sense of accountability has to do their homework, I expect the owner of a wine specialty store to know his business.

If you need great advice and education to purchase a once-​in-​a-​lifetime bottle, these guys are the go-to’s. They know their stuff (Steve usually helps me – he is GREAT) and will order you cases of whatever you need. Lovely guys, smart and serious about their spirits.

Love these guys, I’ve known Charles since he used to be in the old location. They are friendly and certainly know their wines and great service. They used to have wine tastings as well which was great.
I highly recommend them.

Insane selection. Knowledgeable staff. No other place like it for miles around. Fine wines, beers, liquors, and cigars.
Their tastings are fantastic and fun. There’s not even a lot to say about this place, it’s the perfect liquor store.

One of my favorite places! Wednesdays wine tasting is $ 1 a pour — can’t beat that! Everyone is very knowledgeable in the wines and their suggestions are usually spot on to my tastes.
$ 2 cheese — which is a small cut of cheese you can find in their fridge there. And by small, I say that as it’s a small cut compaired to buying the whole thing, it is enough for me to share with others. The price is reasonable and wonderful while you are wine tasting. They are awesome! I could O.D. on the cheese alone.
The store itself is wonderful too. I found my favorite liqueur there which I seriously have only been able to find in Vegas & Hawaii.
I am headed there tonight to meet up with friends and I am excited to go every time!

You know what’s great about stores like Vendome? Well, I’ll tell ya what’s great. What’s great is that they know what the hell they are talking about. I am on a constant quest to improve my palate when it comes to wine. I want to be edumacated on awesome choices. I want to not pay out the nose for a bottle of wine and find it just as delightful as paying top dollar for a bottle. Tall order? Maybe. But thanks to people like Steve at this here Vendome, I discovered two new wines that were absolutely amazing and wallet friendly to boot.
I asked for my normal order: Full bodied, kick in the pants red, some nice fruit, a whole lotta spice and under $ 20.
He immediately took me to the Spanish choice. Good man. From there he showed me a bottle of almost $ 80 wine made my Atteca. At first I thought, is this man hard of hearing, but before I could even finish that silly thought, he said, «that one is great, but this one, made by the same people and just as good or better, is only $ 16.99. Good man, indeed.
He then offered up another bottle of kick ass red; a 2006 Bodegas Juan Gil Monastrell and when I returned to my family’s house and we popped one open, all was good in the world again thanks to Vendome. They also have the wine flight tastings in the store throughout the month and you will try some amazing wines and learn a little something along the tasty way.
