But we will certainly not be back for the following reasons: 1) A houseless person came onto the property and almost fell onto a patron and the owner proceeded to push him and yell "get the f*ck off of my property", and then laugh about it with people after. 2) We sat down, ordered some appetizers, and asked to sample a few of our server's wine recommendations before deciding which bottle to share with our apps. We tried one and didn't like it and asked to try another. Then our server scoffed and told us there's a limit and we can't just try them all. Of course we didn't want to try all of them... we just wanted to make sure we were going to enjoy the bottle we were going to cash out on. I obviously can't say for sure how our server was feeling but the way it was received was that he thought we were cheap and looking for endless free tastings. The whole vibe felt really pretentious and unwelcoming... no thank you! Plenty of other amazing places to enjoy wine in the neighborhood.

This was the first location and it's also the largest. The selection is vast and there are some great wines and spirits available for purchase - including some coveted bottles of Fortaleza Tequila. The evening's line up featured French natural wine from Bob Singlar - 4 tastings for $20. Much like the other two stores the staff here are friendly and knowledgeable about the pours. They had a nice turnout including some locals who gather here on a weekly basis. I enjoyed conversing with them and meeting some of their fur babies. Hopefully, I can return for another tasting soon.

tl;dr the simple sandwiches at this upscale wine shop are more standard than stellar, but the…read moreeasy-to-mix-and-match lineup is uber affordable Larchmont Village Wine, Spirits & Cheese is a gourmet grocer with a not-so-secret sandwich lineup. Each numbered offering only includes a handful of ingredients, but they remain some of the most popular in the city. The shop even earned nods from Eater LA, The Infatuation, and the "Sandwich King" Owen Han. Larchmont Wine & Cheese is smack in the center of Larchmont Village, among high-end chains like Levain Bakery and Faherty. The serif-font black-and-white sign out front is unassuming yet timeless. Worn wooden tables are arranged underneath the red awning, and the windows are stacked with beverage boxes and wine barrels. Inside, the shop is split into sections. Past the refrigerators and pantry goods to the left, join the queue of the fluorescent-lit deli. To the right, shelves are stocked with countless wine bottles. The walls are decorated with an eclectic assortment of wine- and cheese-related artwork and Californian knickknacks. The shop is quiet apart from the low din of back-and-forth between staff and customers. I called in my order shortly before the lunch service, and shortly thereafter, my sandwiches were ready for pick-up from the standard checkout line (entirely bypassing the deli queue that stretched to the entrance). Broadly, the tangy balsamic nicely cut through the richness and saltiness, but the bread overwhelmed the skimpy portions of protein. Both bread options were disappointingly flimsy rather than crisp; of the two, I preferred the chewy baguette to the floppy ciabatta. The most well-rounded sandwich was the #3 Soppressata Salami, with salty meat, rich spread, and acidic vinegar; nonetheless, I found the sun-dried tomato spread to be one-dimensionally mayo-y. The #5 Imported Italian Prosciutto was simple yet effective, although only half of the bites had any amount of mozzarella. Lastly, the #7 Fresh, Homemade Tuna Salad was on the better end for a tuna sandwich, but the subtly creamy flavor wasn't anything to write home about. Surprisingly, the most notable component of the meal was the crunchy, flavorful cornichon pickles. Service was efficient, and my bill ran $20. The "half"-sized sandwiches were fair in portion and price, and this option made it easy to sample multiple varieties. Nonetheless, the generally "good" sandwiches never reached "great", and they certainly don't make my shortlist for best sandwiches in the city. Larchmont Wine & Cheese might be worth it if you're already in the neighborhood, but don't plan a dedicated visit out of your way.

I have a Le Clos membership with 1855, and for less than $2500/year I get more wine service than…read moreyou can imagine. Weekly selection and drop off of some amazing wines - all with a high quality to price ratio which is important to me. I entertain a lot, but really enjoy most of my wine with meals. 1855 finds the best 'everyday' table wines that are super inexpensive and super good! But when I need something special, Aaron always delivers an incredible wine. I've ordered everything from Meomi to Dom. 1855 gets it for me cheaper than I'd typically pay and I get it delivered to my door! The lead consultant, Aaron began my membership with doing an inventory of my existing wine cellar (less than 5 cases) and marking the ones ready to drink now, those that should lay down, and those that absolutely need time. He helped set up my storage so all bottles are kept in the best condition and will drink at their best when I open them. I'm looking forward to my next project with 1855 - helping me buy and arrange specialized wine glassware for my home. I also hear they do great events, and I'm looking for the right opportunity to have them enhance one of my open houses or brokers opens. Great service model and incredible wine! This concierge level service is a no-brainer for oenophiles.

I contracted 1855 to consult on my wine list for restaurant I opened in Phoenix, AZ, Joe's Midnight Run. -Aaron selected 12 wines, different categories, to fill out the list according to my typical guests' tastes. -We tasted through different styles and regions to get the best list. -He accompanied me to my largest distributor's tasting event to help with selection of wines based on taste, quality, demand and price. -His final recommendations were made in coordination with my chef; taking his time to expertly pair each wine with each entree. -Two of my best selling wines to date - Rombauer Chardonnay and The Prisoner - are still running strong on the wine list from Aaron's initial recommendation. -Aaron continued with regular wine list reviews and made recommendations based on market demand - most recent success was adding a rose to the menu. -For my personal collection, I often reach out to 1855 wine consultants. They helped me acquire the best wine for the best price. They have learned my palate, and make recommendations based on what I have enjoyed in the past. I was referred to 1855 by some other restaurant consultants, and I'm still impressed with the breadth of their services - tours, tastings, consulting, cellar management. Call these guys - you wont regret it.

Boy were we glad!! In this heat, I think I would not have made it up the hill if we had to park in the lower lot!! There was already a line forming and people were already throwing their blankets onto the ground in order to claim a shady spot. We were lucky to sit underneath the tree, but since the speakers were close by, the music was kind of loud so it was challenging to have a conversation. By the time the rest of the group showed up, if it wasn't for us, they would be sitting out in the open and would have gotten heat stroke! There was only one food truck. I was fortunate that the other four people in our group came prepared with lots of goodies to share. BIG must. Bring stuff to eat!! Besides one food truck, there was free water. Very organized in regards to getting your wine tastings. You get to wear a wrist band with 4 tabs which are removed one at a time as you go up to get a drink. There were 3 or 4 lines which moved along fairly quickly. I noticed that they didn't all have a glass to place tips. 3 of the wines were cooled and the 4th was room temperature. The serving size was very good. BTW, you get to keep the commemorative glass (no stem) which is actually cute because it says Barnsdall on it. The Hollyhock House is available for touring during this event, but it's an additional cost. Wish I purchased tickets for it! Oh well, maybe another time if I ever do this event again which cost $35 for 3 hours.
