Wino Dude's Classic Wine Cellars of California, LLC

Welcome to Classic Wine Cellars of California, LLC. Thank you for visiting our store. Our expertise is Southern California wines (Temecula, Cucamonga Valley, Santa Ynez, Paso Robles) and these great value wines are sold to you at wine club or better prices.

We are sticklers about proper cellaring of wine, something that is widely overlooked by many on-line retailers, retail stores, shippers, and not understood by consumers. One bad storage event can be death to a great wine. When was the last time you saw a major retailer storing wine properly? A $4.95 bottle of table wine stored on the same summer shelf as the $30 bottle of pinot noir... They arrived at the retailer in an 18-wheeler that was probably not temperature controlled and this 18-wheeler rolled out of a warehouse where the wine could have been stored for days or weeks in summer heat, winter cold, or in humid conditions. You won't know until you buy the wine that your friends raved about. You cork it, taste it...and surprise: "What happened?". Well, wine IS sensitive, should be stored and cellared properly. Then, it maintains it's greatness and even improves with the proper aging. Wine is remarkable!

Our staff buyers choose ALL wines featured on our site after tasting random samples and verifying each wine's proper storage. The great niche wines we select HAVE BEEN cellared properly and represent the best value in wine. We inspect wineries that we buy from thoroughly and taste every wine we sell. We prefer estate wines. We ONLY sell wines that we rank 85 points or better. Wines are something you drink and as such, YOU should enjoy. We believe the "experts" ratings only after we taste that particular shipment ourself.
