Any experience with The Wine House?

kawichris650 shared a link said Tue, Apr 8th 2025 at 12:49pm ET

My best friend’s birthday is coming up and I’d like to buy him a bottle from his birth year. Does anyone have any experience buying from The Wine House?

Thanks in advance for any insight anyone might have.

  Second that. Been on their email list for years.
  Benchmark could also be a source, and Winebid if you can stomach the buyers premium.

Wine House and K&L are both solid in the West LA area. I’ve spent far too much money at both.

This was one supposed source I found, but it’s a verified complete sham.
1. Price too good to be true
2. Unrealistic number of bottles in stock.
3. Bottle photo has the watermark from a different online store.
4. Site menu (falsely) indicates they sell home goods.
Unfortunately, Google doesn’t care to remove the fraudulent website from their search results. (Perhaps action would be taken if enough people flag/report it?)

I’m glad The Wine House is legit. Now if only their price wasn’t as steep.

  K&L has this: https://www.klwines.com/p/i?i=975002&searchId=6900a331-81e9-465a-97ee-871294886afa&searchServiceName=klwines-prod-productsearch&searchRank=1
  
  They also have a 1985 Fonseca with a torn label.

The problem with K@L if you’re not local is they pretty much will not ship to any states.

Hey! I’ve ordered from The Wine House a couple of times — solid experience. Good selection and the shipping was fast and secure. If you’re looking for a specific vintage, it’s worth calling them too — the staff is pretty helpful.
