Why is this page only four stars when it is easily beyond a five-star experience?!…read more Sam and his brother Wes have always been exceptionally kind to me and provide some of the best customer service around. They always have an amazing selection of sours, fine whiskey, and wine. They even went above and beyond to help me put together a great variety of liquor for a Christmas party, and ever since then, it's been nothing but good vibes, great conversations, and genuine friendship. If you want top-notch service, an incredible selection, and people who genuinely care about their customers, this is the spot to go. You will NEVER be disappointed! Absolutely deserving of five stars and then some!

Having four locations around the Long Beach area with the name 'Corked', they seem to be related as…read morelocal family businesses (perhaps from the same origin), but with distinct ownership groups. My wife and I stopped in during a Sunday visit to Bixby Knolls, to stop into this store. The selection was a lot more than the typical corner liquor store, but one wasn't about to get wine or craft beer knowledge/advice from the one guy who was manning the checkout. There is an impressive beer walk-in cooler in the center of the store, so a lot of pre-chilled bottled beer available. My wife ended up buying a bottle of bourbon cream for a competitive price, plus it was easy to carry back home on the bus.

BIRTHDAY MONTH=BIRTHDAY COUPONS=HAPPY RODNEY…read more 1 cent for any Winery Direct wine up to $15 Not being a wino, I had to ask a staff member their recommendations for a Winery Direct dry/semi-sweet red wine $15 or under. He suggested Carmen Reserva Frida Kahlo Cabernet Sauvignon Chile 2023 & Organic Arbol De Vida Malbec Argentina 2024. The cabernet had a 91 rating from the Tasting Panel, but the malbec didn't have a rating, as it was a new item. Seeing how it's made with organic grapes, and malbecs are usually good bottles of wine, I chose the Organic Arbol De Vida Malbec Argentina 2024. Organic Arbol De Vida Malbec Argentina 2024- Lovely bottle of wine. Each sip had berries & plum, plus the pucker from expressive tannins. I'm not a wine connoisseur, but I found this particular malbec approachable and non-offensive. However, I'd choose a bottle of bourbon or sake, any day of the week. 1 cent for a bottle of wine? That's cheaper than Boone's Farm! Total Wine wanted to get me nice & toasty on the cheap for my birthday, treating me like a cheap date. And, my response to that - you woulda had me in the sack in no time ;p One of the best of my birthday promos, I look forward to next year to see which new wine strikes my fancy.

Hey!! This place is pretty cool and never noticed this place even existed!…read more My husband and I always said "We don't have any Whole Foods type of stores here... just a Trader Joe's around the corner." Well guess what? California Heights Market is like a mini version of Whole Foods. They serve a lot of quality and organic products + other amazing things you can find.. like aged meat, sushi, infused olive oils, a spice shop, bread, sandwiches, nursery and *drum rolls* beer on tap! Such a small market packed with so many great things AND they have upstairs and outside seating!! I can see parking getting a little tough here on busier days as it does seem to be in the busier part of Castro Valley with all the other eateries you can find outside of the California Heights Market. I can't wait to come back here because they do have a ton of cool organic beauty products that are great for those who have really sensitive skin but can get a little pricey!

I wish I could give these guys less than a star. Been coming here for 12 years. Bought some beers,…read morewent back and told them they were oxidized, dude says, "oh I'll tell our vendor" as I'm trying to buy another pack of beers. I didn't ask for a discount, refund, nothing. Gave it a week. Went back and bought another pack of beers. Asked the guy " oh did you talk to the vendor ", nothing. Dude basically said "oh there's not much we can do". Uh yeah there is. Como the customer the $15 pack of beer he's trying to buy since the other he bought was no good. You call yourself a neighborhood market, maybe try acting like one. You're telling me if I bought a bottle of wine and came back and said "hey it was corked", you would do nothing? I will never buy here ever again. Place is over priced and the owners and employees simply do not get it.

The customer service really stands out, too. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely makes you feel like a valued customer. Great selection, great people, and great vibes.

Clean and Organized! When you go to liquor stores in Long Beach for beverages and snacks, majority of the time it feels like and old school establishment. Grimy and Dusty. This is not the case. Its night and day from viewing it from the outside to the inside. Overall I was pleased with the ambiance. I was greeted by the cashier. The only thing I noticed that the cashier did not give me a receipt for the items I purchased. Either they should of asked me out of courtesy or just provided me one. Overall had a good experience. Plenty of selections to choose from. I have noticed that alot of hard to get items from countries were for sale there. I have been looking for some specific alcholic beverages for years, this place had it! I was surprised. Great place. I will come back.

From the outside it looks a bit small, but once you're inside you'll see they have an impressive selection. There's even a walk-in cooler stocked with tons of beers from both local and far-off breweries. One of the coolest surprises was their variety of snacks and drinks from around the world. They carry chips, soft drinks, and ice creams I recognized from my time in Japan, along with lots of unique candies and snacks you don't usually find in typical liquor stores. Pretty awesome spot with way more variety than you'd expect. **Head over to the Green Olive for my review on the food =)

They do carry a lot of high end items like Remy Louis XIII which i was a bit surprised to see.
