One day years ago, one of the employees recognized me from years past. His name is Steve. This not only goes out to Steve, but it goes out to the entire staff on the floor. Shout out to the two gentlemen in the wine section. Outstanding service at Mission Wine & Spirits in Pasadena. I've known Steve for years, and he consistently goes above and beyond. I honestly thought that " they" the sales people that were somehow on commission. A couple of days ago Steve personally texted me when a new wine arrived that he knew I'd love. That kind of proactive, thoughtful service is rare. Great selection, even better people. Just a great experience all around. It was a $200 buy that I wasn't expecting to make. Best and good luck.

Also, I really don't like that they are promoting political slogans. Yes, it's free speech and I support free speech.. however, now that I know their political stance, I will unfortunately no longer be giving them business.
