2016: Quality • Authenticity • Value. 2026: Add TRUST. Ten years later, we’re grateful for your support and, above all, for having earned your trust. Our commitment remains unchanged: We travel to wine regions, visit producers, taste their wines, and learn firsthand about their winemaking philosophies before selecting what belongs on our shelves. No cute labels, passing fads, #Vivino ratings, or fashionable buzzwords decide what we sell. What’s inside the bottle comes first. Always. Here’s to the next ten years of discovering extraordinary wines together. Drink Better. 🍷

Welcome to #WineStop. Carefully selected. Thoroughly tasted. Independently chosen. Every wine earns its place on our shelves through three uncompromising principles: Quality. Authenticity. Value. No hype. No pay-to-play. No inflated scores. No wines that are merely “good for the money.” Just genuinely excellent wines at prices that make sense. The best way to spend your hard-earned wine dollars. Wine Stop. Since 2016. Drink Better.

Our #DTLA store has a new Spanish red: 2023 Venta La Ossa Joven (Y DICHOSA). Joven means young and unoaked. Dichosa means “happy.” And that’s exactly how this red tastes. Happy Thursday! Be the first to try it. We’re open until 7 PM today and tomorrow. Drink Better. $22.00/btl. (+ CRV + tax) 🍷

A new #Beaujolais-Villages is coming to #WineStop at the end of November. The label is cute; we chose it. What’s in the bottle? #Gamay. Top quality, authentic, and real value. We didn’t choose the label. It’s theirs. We chose what’s inside. Three #BeaujolaisCrus are arriving at the same time, too. #DrinkBetter. With or without a label cutie. @vinsbeaujolais

One great week in #Beaujolais: tasting Beaujolais Blanc (Chardonnay), Beaujolais Nouveau 2026, Beaujolais, Beaujolais-Villages, and Cru Beaujolais from all 10 crus. Thirty three second moments with @Alvarocar, tasting his way through the wines of the region. @vinsbeaujolais

A puff of cloud, sunbeams over the vines, and Alvaro in Fleurie. Real wine comes from beautiful places. He toured all 10 #Beaujolais crus and met Maud, who makes our Beaujolais. Beaujolais-Villages, Fleurie, Morgon, and Chiroubles are due on our shelves at the end of November. We can’t wait. Drink Better. Know what you’re drinking. @vinsbeaujolais

10/14 | Our second Far Yeast seasonal beer has arrived: Hinoki. A crisp pilsner brewed with Japanese cypress from the forests surrounding Kosuge Village, Yamanashi. Subtle wood, herbs and spice—not a novelty flavor, but a beer connected to its landscape. Now at Wine Stop DTLA. mywinestop.com/products/far-…

11/14 | #Hinoki is Japanese cypress. Far Yeast uses wood removed through forest thinning around Kosuge Village—work that helps preserve the forest and its water sources. That wood gives this 5% pilsner a restrained, distinctly Japanese aromatic character. Beer from a place. Discover Hinoki @ Wine Stop: mywinestop.com/products/far-…

We added a new line of canned sardines and tuna today. La Jaca Manzanilla, La Janda Fino, Txakoli, K-Naia, and Pronto Lambrusco all pair beautifully with them. A simple canned-fish snack between meals can be one of the tastiest bites of the day - especially with the right glass of wine.
