My 'Unofficial' Guide to Drinking Wine in L.A

Wine With Chas about Vinovore

Whenever I have the chance to visit a new city, there are a few things I aim to accomplish: trying local cuisine, spending time with my homies, and of course, checking out the wine spots.

Los Angeles, with its year-round sunshine, gorgeous palm trees, and eclectic neighborhoods has something for everyone. It’s one of the chillest cities I’ve visited in a while - no one is in a rush, kickin’ it poolside in the middle of the day is a lifestyle and sitting in traffic comes with being an Angeleno.

Over the course of my 2.5-week stay, I had the chance to hit up some pretty dope spots with my bestie (hi Taj!) and drink some yummy wines and delicious food along the way. All of these places were a vibe, so you truly won’t be disappointed if you hit one or all of them.

With that, here's my unofficial wine guide to L.A. - enjoy!

Wine with Chas about Vinovore

Vinovore Wine & Goods Shop (Silver Lake) - While wine bars are fetch, I am a sucker for a good wine shop. I had the chance to write about Vinovore for Imbibe Magazine earlier this year, and I was geeked up like Fabo to visit. When you walk in, the wine is displayed from sparklings, rosé, and funky whites to light, medium, and full-bodied reds. They’ve also got an assortment of canned wines, as well as a shop with super dope knick-knacks, books, and wine accessories. But what I love the most about this show is the huge sign on the wall that helps you determine what type of Vinovore you are. On any given day, I am a Silver Fox, but I can also be an Orange Tiger too :)

I think the best part about being able to travel again is the chance to explore the great wine offerings of the cities I visit. There’s still so much more for me to discover in L.A., and I can’t wait to return to try something new.

Are there any spots you’d recommend I put on my list for my next visit? Let me know!

Cheers!
