"Opened June 17, West Altadena Wine and Spirits is run by Randy Clement of Silverlake Wine and Everson Royce Bar and is similar to his Highland Park and Silver Lake shops. The bottle shop carries mostly small-production wine, beer, and spirits with an emphasis on biodynamic, organic, and natural options; bottles start at around $12 and most choices fall around $25. Local artist Eric Junker was tapped to paint murals inside and outside the building, and Clement says they aim to be “just local neighborhood stores that service the local neighborhoods the stores are in.” While there won’t be a food component inside the shop, its first wine-tasting event is scheduled for June 27 from 4 to 8 p.m. (priced at $20 for a tasting of three wines), and Triple Beam Pizza will set up its mobile pizza oven outside to serve slices. The shop is located at 2311 Lincoln Avenue, Altadena, CA 91001 and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m." - Rebecca Roland
