I’ve tried some BevMo sold wines and beers and was disappointed by some of the quality. It seemed that even some of the brands I liked didn’t taste as I remembered. I found out that BevMo doesn’t always follow temperature and storage procedures for the wines and beers. Most of it is open storage in the range of 68 to 76 degrees.
One of the places I have found for good quality wines at a decent price is 3rd Corner in Encinitas. It is a combined Wine Shop and Bistro. There are also 3rd Corners in Ocean Beach and Palm Desert. The prices are fairly good, though they also carry some more expensive wines as well. Most of them are NOT the common labels. I have found that many of the common labels actually buy the wines from other winerys and relabel.
