Love great wine? Love good beer? Love L.A.s top gourmet food trucks? Youll love this place. Wine Expo has been a top-notch bottle shop (beer, wine, spirits) for a long time now, but their tasting room is what makes this place really special now. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and can help you find something you love, and their selection of bites like Salumi, cheese, and Crostini plates are fantastic. The owner also has tons of special events and gets the citys top food trucks to serve up front. Their Twitter feed and website are must-checks for anyone who enjoys great food and drink on the west side.

Ive known Robert and Ali for a long time. They always have great wines, beers, Cognac, Whiskey, etc. Dont expect Wine Spectator 90+ wines - but do expect to find (with their help) Italian versions that are as good or better, for a lot less money. You need sparkling wine? They have many, in an ever-changing selection. Although I no longer live in Santa Monica, I drop by on visits to pick up presents for friends and family. They installed a tasting bar, with wine, beer, and light snacks. Finally had a chance to try it out. Had an excellent glass of wine, and three Cheeses that were quite good. Ill be back.

I went to Wine Expo to find a gift for a friend who is a wine connoisseur. The gentleman behind the counter treated me with utter disdain and was rude bordering on hostile despite the fact that I spent $300 in the store. Usually, one expects to spend a bit more in a specialized store in return for better customer service, and I was sorely disappointed.

I feel so lucky to live across the street from Wine Expo! Ali, the owner, is so knowledgeable and always takes great care of us. No matter your budget he has the perfect suggestion for every meal and occasion. He greets us with a "welcome home" when we walk in the door. The wine bar is great and their happy hour glasses and flights cant be beat.

I had the lemon chicken faff, a Wine Expo, and some other treat which I conveniently forgot what was called. Not only were the prices great, but the food was very tasty. It had a nice balance of flavor and texture. The customer service was also top notch. I will absolutely go back here again.

Great service and help! Super friendly and seemingly very knowledgeable. All of their wines are from small vineyards too which I found nice in the world of corporate agriculture. Would def go back....lets see how my guests like their recommendations thou ;)

Stopped here to get a bottle of wine to celebrate friends engagement and new home. Folks here were super friendly. And I love the concept. We wine tasted (and got 50% off for happy hour) and based on tasting picked our wines.

Awesome selection of wine, whiskey, and beer with focus on quality, not brand name. Very eclectic store, has something for everyone.

Great place to spend an afternoon. Happy hour pricing and relatively low traffic means that you and your friends can own the night.

Owner helpful and friendly. $20 for 20 wine tasting included a fine selection. Great meat and cheese platters.
