Pasadena Wine Shop

We recently visited from Orlando, and were delighted to find such a wonderful wine shop in Pasadena! Nicole was so helpful, offering great advice on beautiful wines. The selection Nicole offers is broad, offering something for everyone. Highly recommended, you should go here!

Wish the owner / wine manager blonde lady was more compassionate, understanding and patient. We ended up parking in a space for the wine shop customers, b/c we were going to go there after picking up our food next door. Unfortunately once we picked up our food and went back to the car to drop off the food, she was waiting outside our car to grill us for doing that, without letting us get a word in to say we were about to go in the wine store.. We’re big winos, my husband and I. We have had multiple wine memberships, we have done wine classes, go out of our way to wineries in other countries and even had a wine ceremony during our wedding. All of that to say, we were about to be customers of the wine shop. At the end of her grilling us, she says “do not ever come here again.” … Oof. I just think she could’ve had a better approach with us and asked if we were interested to come in and check out the wine shop or something. Then she would’ve heard us say “oh yeah we were about to come in!” Or something. A lesson in do not assume. Although I will give her this, she was partially mad b/c we had a tire in the parking space next to us, but those spaces are small and the car next to us didn’t leave enough space for our driver side to get out. Again, just another thing to consider - be compassionate, understanding and patient with your future customers (obviously you lost a couple customers with us..)

My absolute favorite wine shop ever! Nicole, the store owner, is so knowledgeable and helpful with assisting me in finding a bottle of wine. Her customer service is amazing! This shop offers wine from many independent, unique, and cool wineries from all over the globe. The shop offers wonderful wines without breaking the bank.

Absolutely wonderful shop! Nicole always has great recommendations and offers truly unique wines. So happy to have this shop in the neighborhood.

I went to a wine tasting with my family and it was absolutely phenomenal! Nicole was great, I loved her descriptions of each wine and she was very friendly. She really knew what she was talking about and made me so excited for each wine! Tons of charcuterie, enough for everyone to have seconds still with some leftovers. Amazing wine selections. I'm not usually a fan of Chardonnay, but even the chardonnays here were seriously amazing. 10/10

Nicole is one of the friendliness and most-knowledgable "wine people" I've ever met, so I was ecstatic when I learned that she was opening her own shop in Pasadena. When I visited the shop, I told Nicole the types of wine we usually like, as well as our typical price point, and she picked out a bunch of incredible (and fun) wines for us. We'll be enjoying our case of 12 bottles over the next few months, and will think of her every time we open a new one. We'll be back to stock up again sometime soon, I'm sure!

Best Wine Shop in Pasadena. Nicole can decipher what you want, even when you aren't sure how to describe it. Through her thoughtful questions and amazing listening, discovering new wine that you love becomes easy. She can also pair brilliantly if you need a bottle for a meal. 10/10!!!

Great local wine shop with helpful staff full of useful information. If you have questions wine, or are craving something specific, this is your store. The owner, Nicole, is usually there and she is a huge help with selecting exactly the right wine. Highly recommended!
