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.

Parking is shared with Vroman's Bookstore, and there is also street parking as well. I recently visited a wine bar and fell in love with a type of Moscato. I searched online to see where the bottle was sold and saw that they are sold at this place. I placed an online order and set it for pickup at 6pm. I received a text message saying that my order was ready for pickup at 5:30pm (which was perfect because I was already on my way to that location and was going to be early). There was a big sign that said "Online Order" in the corner of the store, but there wasn't anyone there, so I went to one of the checkout lines. They said I need to go to the Online order area, and when I was about to say "no one was there", I saw someone walk into the area. They asked me to open up the link, click on the "curbside" and I heard their machine go ping and he grabbed my order. I decided to walk around more and I was amazed at how many wine selections they had! I will be back to try other brands!

It's a quaint wine shop with a nice selection of varietals, blends, and even a few craft beers. There's a small tasting bar in the back which usually features a flight of whites and reds, along with several other selections by the glass, as well as charcuterie boards, olives, nuts, and truffle popcorn. Lucy (owner), Pattie, Nina, and the rest of the staff are friendly and accommodating, making you feel like family. On occasion, they'll also have live music.

Despite her loss, she made the decision to give back to the community and the local Pasadena Fire department. This place has been on my radar but after hearing this I made an effort to stop by her shop and support. The store carries about 700 different wines from established and smaller wineries. Currently, Nicole is only accepting online orders for pick up or 2-day shipping in California. 100% of all proceeds from purchases of the "Fire Relief Wines" are being donated to The California Fire Foundation. She's already raised $40,000, so all my wine loving Yelp peeps that are reading this hope online and show Nicole some love. *Small parking lot or street parking.

Sure enough... my gas gauge was blinking upon leaving my workout location LOL. I had to quickly find a gas station. Well, the nearest gas station was at least 5 minutes from where I was at. It was between Chevron or Shell. Guess who won? You got it... Shell! Funny, as I was driving to Shell, I saw Chevron, but it was on the other side of the street that I was driving on so I said I'll just stick with Shell. Great corner location on Del Mar Blvd and Arroyo Parkway. Clean exterior. Prices were several cents cheaper than Chevron... yay! They also have a food mart, but I didn't go in. I prefer to pay at the pump unless I really need to go inside. If they run out of paper, I just make myself a note on gas cost and be on my way and not bother going inside to get receipt. Anyway, thanks Shell for being present when I needed you most!

That was a bad enough experience that I'll not fill gas up here again like I do in the mornings or evenings before or after work. TBH the prices are pretty high compared to even chevron down the street. (Yes it was that serious). EDIT: Shibli, thank you for your response; however, as a business/franchise owner you should ensure that ALL platforms reflect the correct information especially if this has been unavailable for 5+ years -- you've had plenty of time to correct this information. As for the Chevron comment, this is my observation and was took my business there as of this morning. Thank you. These small things make the difference on whether someone will use your service moving forward.
