They've got some wine that I'd like to buy, but I have never dealt with them before. Anyone on the boards buy from them in the past?

Impressions? Good/bad?

TIA-

So, brocolli, Mother says you're very good for me. Well, I'm afraid I'm no good for you!

Thanks!

I am always a little hesitant to buy from a new place...

RedRedVine,
I believe the store you are referring to is on Foothill Blvd. and in Claremont. For what it's worth, i have been to Liquorama on several occasions and would only buy "newly" released fall and spring wines from them.

The store has "No Air Conditioning" and experiences scorching temperatures throughout the summer season, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the bulk of their wines have experienced heat damage!

Additionally the store is poorly kept and is extremely dirty with many of the older vintage bottles covered in dust.

I tried liquorama once but they were out of my wine. it seems a lot of wine sites have trouble keeping their inventory current with what's listed on the site. it's hard to know if the wine is really available...
