Ditto on Wine Exchange in the OC. They have much better wine stores there. Add the Wine Club (in Santa Ana) and Amazing Grapes to the list.
Ditto the Melville also though the 2007’s were much better as were all the others. It was a very good year.
Ditto The layer Cake.
CDMA-the Barolo’s really need to decant for a several hours before drinking. They can even be much better on Day 2.
Ditto all of Josh’s comments except SDwineCo (disclaimer-where I dont shop anymore either), while they arent as great place as they used to be, they are still very good for newbies because you can taste there. Costco is great if you know what you want but you cant taste there which hurts the newbie.
