Hollywood High Note
filed under: Ramblings

Who needs celebrities when you've got star-caliber wine? I was thrilled to check out the brand spanking new Hollywood K&L store on a visit to the southland this weekend, and things are sure looking dapper there. Besides a super friendly staff, the spot's got A-list wine, a swank tasting area just primed for fabulous in-house tastings and an unbeatable location in the heart of revitalized Hollywood.

If you're down south permanently or on vaca, be sure to check the spot out. I've posted a few snaps from my visit here, including a look at the spot's interior (looks like the San Fran store but with a more contemporary urban loft feel), a shot of me with store manager Tom Martinez (right, down from Nor Cal) & helpful staffer Joel Nicholas, along with some other gratuitous shots including more bubbly, a view of the store from Vine and a pic of myself alongside a gigantic bottle they've got on display there (top).

Who doesn't love a wine store with gargantuan bottles, thousands of unique wines from all around the world and shopping carts full of bubbly sitting around?!! Stay tuned for upcoming announcements about the July GRAND OPENING - sure to be a red carpet affair.

Details:
1400 Vine Street, Hollywood, CA 90028
(323) 464-WINE (9463)
OPEN Monday through Saturday from 10am to 8pm, and Sunday from 11am to 6pm
9000 square feet, thousands of wines

Aren't you a consultant for K&L? This sort of seems like an ad.

Gretchen,

Nope, not a consultant for them but I do contribute to their blog sometimes, and I penned nearly the same entry on the K&L blog.

Besides this, K&L has been kind enough to include my contact information on their site as a recommended wine consultant to their customers.

The admiration's mutual.

Thanks for commenting. - Courtney

I LOVE K & L! Glad they are extending their reach down South. Just had convos this weekend with the ladies about how K&L service is so killing Bev Mo that it's disgusting. Anywho, More Blogs!! You are supposed to fill my procrastination time at work.
