Obsessing over this beer, I called Fred's and happily they had exactly what I wanted: Another memorable IPA from Stone Brewing, with the quirky name Scorpion Bowl, 6 cans for $13.99 to get exactly what I want, when I want it. (restaurant retail? $42 for 6 glasses)

I've been around wine most of my life, and one thing you learn pretty quickly is that you can tell…read morewhen someone is just **selling wine** versus when they're genuinely passionate about it. Bob's Fine Wine is the real deal. This place works whether you're looking for a Tuesday-night bottle or something in the $200+ range that requires you to explain to your spouse why it was "actually a very good value." The selection is impressive. I even found Behrens Family here, which isn't always easy to track down--and at a really good price. That was the moment I knew these guys were serious. What I especially like is that you don't need to be a wine collector to appreciate the place. There's something for everyone, from a solid daily drinker to bottles you'll stare at for six months waiting for an occasion important enough to open them. It really is a blessing to have this kind of selection right here in our town. Great wine, knowledgeable people, and genuine passion behind what they're doing. P.S. They also sell other alcohol, for those strange people who apparently drink things besides wine.

If you are in San Clemente or the surrounding areas, this is the best wine shop ever! It's a small…read moreshop, but they have a very good wine selection! It's super old-school so when you walk in it's very crowded with boxes on top of boxes and it's fairly dark at the back which I was told it was because some of the wines are light sensitive. I love knowing that they are so knowledgeable about the wines that they care for them in the proper way! They do have an extensive wine collection from all over the world and all price points. I did not have the pleasure of meeting Bob, the owner, today, but I did meet Baine, who works for Bob! He was so knowledgeable on all the wines and gave me the best options to try. I'm so excited to give my choices a shot. All I had to do was tell him what I like and kind of the general profile of what I like and he directed me with expert knowledge!

The owner and wife are super entitled and rude . Came in for a quick stop before a round of golf and some lady In a Covid mask took my ID for a good 20 mins , telling me it was fake and she wouldn't sell to me . She then gave it to an older man who seemed to be the owner and he said the same thing . I get it I look kind of young but I've never had this issue in my entire life , and I got my DL from the DMV less than 2 weeks ago and they still were very very suspicious and rude . I understand double checking ids but these guys took it for a power trip and wouldn't give it back for at least 30 mins time . I ended up having to give the guy my pilots license aswell and he was still super doubtful and rude ... are u kidding me ! . Basically if you're under 30 or you don't wanna spend 30 mins buying crap liquor , dont come here unless you want to be treated with disrespect and no appreciation for supporting a local business. Pretty sad honestly as my Parents came Here when they were young and I wanted to support a long time SC business but until it changes ownership or someone checks them it's gonna stay the same

I believe I have reviewed the restaurant next door, but I add one for the market itself. As an…read moreItalian-American, I'm always in search of such wonderful places, and every time I'm in town I make sure I shop at the Pronto market. The entire family staff is so kind, and they'll even be so gracious as to allow me to practice my ancestral Italian language skills-- which are sadly deficient and in need of constant correction-- while shopping. I learn so much in each of my unofficial lessons when I visit, and I'm deeply grateful to the family for this kind help. I couldn't imagine a more gracious and thoughtful nor a more warm and more kind group of people to create an old fashioned and welcoming environment in the market. Franco, Donatella, and Fiammetta always treat me with such kindness. And in addition of course there are very knowledgeable about the wines and fine liqueurs which are sold there at reasonable prices. I left yesterday with two bottles of wine from my ancient homeland in Sicily and Basilicata and a bottle of Amaro that comes from my grandfather's province of Calabria. Once again a wonderful shopping experience and I cannot recommend this market more. Grazie mille a tutta la famiglia!
