K&L Wine Merchants, Redwood City CA

A great selection of single malt whiskeys and I was able to get a nice bottle of Stag's Leap at the same time.

Great Staff who really know their wine, and determining your preference, whether French, Italian, Australia, etc. Different staff members have deep knowledge of the different areas. Do not visit here if you are looking for 2 buck Chuck.this place is for those who appreciate good wine, and are willing to search for quality wine. The staff are great at directing to the best years, ratings, and other options. First class. Highly Recommended.

I can't say enough about the stellar employees here both past and present. All are well educated and give great suggestions, finding you the resident expert on a particular beverage if they aren't sure of the answer. Great selection of wines, craft spirits and beer. Go here, not Total Wine.

The Best in the West. But with reservations. Staff gracious and obliging. Generally knowledgeable, but often stumped on some more esoteric labels. Great database, however, so if you know a little bit about what you want, They will advise.
Very heavy on California (Duh), France and Europe in general, but I am not so sure about emerging amphora and other genre. Very limited selection of Greek wines. I found their prices to be in line with the market.
