Very nice looking store, with a huge variety of hand selected wines and spirits from places all over the world to choose from. They also have unique craft beers imported from all around the world, you can buy singles or they some have some packs available also. I've had a few really tasty beers so far. Kind of tucked away, this quaint, charming shop is a hidden gem for wine and beer connoisseurs of Ojai. read more

See all

Ok, so I've been to Ojai a bunch of times now and it took me a while to even notice this street and even then it wasn't until my most recent trip I noticed this shop-mostly because I saw a dog go in and out of there. When I came back the dog was gone but what I found instead was a friendly lady behind the counter who said it was probably the owner's dog but they had both gone for the day. It's primarily a wine shop but when I mentioned I'm here for the beer I was directed to the back corner with the cooler. The sign up front mentioned East Coast beers and I was curious to see what they had/expecting to roll my eyes at the usual suspects I've seen so far only to be pleasantly surprised, not just by the East Coast breweries represented but just the quality of beers and styles. I got excitable as to choice, not just because there were beers that were hard to find even their home locations but they had some GREAT European beers as well, ones I hadn't seen in a while or in formats that I hadn't seen. I snatched up a couple bottles and 4-packs and was expecting to pay a lot more than I ended up paying. While my items were being rung up I couldn't help but ask how in the world were these beers even available here? Did they fall off a truck and bounced three thousand miles? The secret is that the owner was a beer sales rep out East and still maintains good relationships. Good relationships, good beer. I half want to go hoard them a bit/drink them quickly so I can go back before anyone is the wiser. read more

Excellent friendly and knowledgeable staff, amazing biodynamic /organic/ natural wine selection with a small amount of ciders, vermouths and craft beers. Great price range as well. read more

Nose to tail perfection.... Gorgeous wines from small family vineyards all over the world ... curated by the owner .... Every wine I've tried has been exceptional.... And divine .... I live locally... they sweetly and graciously put up with my chit chat and questions .... Always with the best suggestions... so grateful they are here.... As they offer mostly organic and sustainable wines as well.... What a gem... check them out for sure! read more

Absolutely love this business. The owner + all the staff are extremely well-versed in wine and always give 100% of their effort to make your time in their store a positive experience. The ambiance is wonderful and I love the layout. Super happy to have them here in Ojai! read more

Here's an executive summary of Point de Chene: Don't miss this excellent, well-curated selection of wines by knowledgable experts who can help you find the right wine for your taste. A "Best of Ojai!" Though I expected we could find decent wines to drink during our stay in Ojai, I was surprised and delighted to find a shop of this caliber in town. There are many choice selections to be had, including outstanding French and Italian selections on the shelves: a friend picked up a bottle of amarone that we really enjoyed. But what first caught my eye was a sterling selection of Gruner Veltliners and other Austrian and German wines. Turns out that Bob Huey, the owner, enjoys them and seeks out other, lesser-known, delicious, well-made, and food-friendly wines that will delight anyone with an adventurous palate. When we're in Portugal or Italy, we drink the local wines and it seemed appropriate to do the same thing in Ojai. Bob and other staff members were excellent guides to many of the reds and whites from the Central Coast that we don't often see on the East Coast -- Dragonette Pinot Noir and Sandhi Chardonnay turned out to be two of our favorites. Many of these gems also show up on the wine list at The Dutchess, where you can taste some by the glass or select bottles from their page-long list of Central Coast wines. The staff knows these wines, so if you're keen to learn about them, they can tell you a lot. Or if you want something for dinner -- or a bottle for a special occasion -- they'll recommend some great choices for you. If we were local, we'd join the wine club -- and Point De Chene's email newsletter is a great read and very informative read more

We're so lucky to have such an amazing wine shop in our little town. Bob is passionate about wine and really knows his stuff. He's always making great recommendations and introducing me to new wines. I always look forward to going in and seeing what Bob is going to send me home with next. read more

5 stars and they deserve every one. I first visited with my husband in February of last year. We stumbled on Point De Chene on a weekend trip to Ojai and decided to go in for a tasting. The wine was fantastic and so was everyone there. Locals were hanging out and shooting the breeze with the owner and other employees. We asked about the shop and learned they source from small vineyards. We stayed until closing and had a wonderful time. In December, we went back again and were so sad to see that they could not longer offer tastings due to a new order in Ojai that prevents businesses without a sink in tasting areas from offering tastings. Something to that effect anyway. The same was true of oil and vinegar tastings at Carolina Gramm. A shame and I hope this changes soon if it hadn't already. So, we asked for a recommendation and got a great bottle of Chenin Blanc. They even gave us the information for the local cabbie because there were no Ubers around. And now here we are in the COVID times. Small businesses are working hard to stay afloat and we should support them if we can. I saw they were offering a 4 pack of rosé for pickup or local delivery. They're 2 hours away from us so I called to see about getting some wine shipped. We ended up settling on a case of hand-selected picks based on my husband's and my preferences. The wine arrived a couple days later and they nailed it. Thanks, guys! read more

Woah. This place is super legit!! So many wines to choose from. You can get AMAZING chilled bottles of rose for around 10 bucks.. this place puts all other wine shops to shame. read more

Point De Chene - #SundayFunday with these two, enjoying some bomb ass wine from Point de Chêne!!! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Ojai, California

Here for the beer! I stumbled upon this place when walking around the shops of Ojai and was really impressed by the well thought out selection of craft beer from around the United States and the world. Hard to find beers from Belgium, Scandinavia, Japan, and the US east coast could be found in the corner of the shop dedicated to beers. It's easy to trust that any of the beers sold here are high quality as the care in selecting them is obvious and the reasons/stories the employees have for why they've selected them are shared when you're shopping. While I was not specifically looking for wine on this trip, the selection of wines from California and around the world is well-curated and nicely organized in the store. Great people working here and able to make solid recommendations for whatever beverage you have interest in. read more

What a treat this is. Great wine selection, and the proprietor is incredible to talk with. His knowledge was extensive and the inventory reflects that. Pricing seemed fair - certainly not a bargain shop, but it's Ojai. What do you expect? The only concern I have is - unfortunately- a big one. The store doesn't appear to be climate controlled, so I am unlikely to be comfortable purchasing a bottle here again. The first of the bottles we opened was clearly heat damaged. This could have been bad luck, but it certainly concerned me. The shop owner made it right! read more

For those curious to step into the world of wine or seasoned wine aficionados - this is the best wine shop. Bob and his team (hey Christine!) hand pick some of the best, most interesting wines, and are always eager to show you something new and tasty. I love supporting this local Ojai shop! read more

Friendly workers and they had my favorite Austrian white wine here, which I've never seen in a store in the USA. So I was very excited! Also excited to try a bottle of local wine that they recommended. Neat store with lots of options and workers who were helpful with lots of tips based on my descriptions. read more

So excited to have this wine shop here in Ojai. Yes you can buy wine anywhere but what do you really know about what your drinking? The owner here, Bob is so knowledgeable and friendly and he wants you to leave with wine you love and fits your needs. Most bottles are $20 or less but all Bobs recommendations have been perfect. They just started a very affordable wine club offer that we are going to try. read more

I needed a nice bottle of wine for a gift. The owner Bob was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He helped me pick a lovely bottle over the phone and even wrapped it up nicely and included a card. I appreciated how patient he was with me in explaining all the different types and stories that went along with the winemakers. Thanks for the exceptional service! I will definitely be visiting the shop in person the next time I am in the area. read more

Beautiful selection of wines. The woman who helped me was warm and easy to talk to and very helpful. She listened to what I was looking for and helped me find a beautiful local, biodynamic, organic pinot noir. They also had a fresh bowl of water for my dog right outside their door. read more

Point de Chene is so fab! The owner, Bob, has selected the coolest wine, beer and cider selections at all different price points. If you wanted to grab a quick BBQ wine, there are many selections under $18 or if you want to stock your wine fridge or rack, you can do that in one stop. Plus there are tastings available all day everyday and they change often. Jessica and the rest of the staff are warm, engaging, knowledgeable and make you feel right at home. Don't miss stopping here! read more

Brilliant selection of domestic and imports. This is not two buck chuck stuff folks; it's well curated wine from top notch producers.

Great tasting room and wine shop. Bob and his crew are very knowledgeable about the wines they serve. They can tell you all you'd ever want to k ow about the growers and winemakers. There is a focus on French wines, though there are lots of non-French options. There are many beer options too--not stuff you're likely to find elsewhere. A must for any visit to Ojai. read more

We had a fantastic experience here while on a mid week get away in Ojai. The owner Bob Huey spent a lot of time educating us on the area's wines. The stock is well marked with excellent descriptions about what you're getting (and reasonably priced). There is also an excellent selection of beers. Great modern open space and in a few weeks Bob will be opening a tasting room. Highly recommend! read more
