Glazer's Companies of La

This is a mega-wholesale warehouse, so you'll probably never go here unless you:a) own a business selling beer/alcohol/wineb) miss you delivery date or need something same dayThe cashiers are quick and professional. Call your order in advance to have the invoice ready.The loading dock is a different story. You have to ring a bell (impossible to find unless someone actually showed you where it is) and have to wait for someone to appear from the womb of the warehouse (which is massive). You can wait 1 minute if you are lucky or 20 if unlucky. I've witnessed both. Other then the wait, the guys working there are fast, and will help you load up heavier items in your car.Prost!

Ok, so we didn't actually go to the warehouse or buy anything from Glazer. We attended a wine tasting that was put on by them. They sent a few guys over with 7 different wines (2 whites, 2 reds, and three champagnes), as well as cheese/charcuterie trays.Before each wine was served, the main guy would come up and give a short description. Then servers came around for pourings. We were free to ask for more because there was plenty to go around.Whites:Acacia Chardonnay - I'm not a chardonnay fan or white wine fan in general, so I wasn't impressed. But it was drinkable to me. The white wine fans liked it a lot.Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc - I really like this one. It was sweet and went down smooth.Reds:Sterling Vintner's Collection Merlot - Classic merlot. Little heavy, but I went back for more of this one.Beaulieu Vineyard Napa Cabernet Savignon - Typical cab. Very good. Also got a second glass of this one.Sparkling:Chandon Rose - Bleh. I did NOT like this one. Neither did my SO. This one was very polarizing amongst the crowd. Some people really liked it, but I feel most people wanted none of it.Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label - Very good champagne. Good bubbliness, good flavor. I would drink it again.Ruinart Blanc de Blanc - This stuff was liquid gold. It was the best wine all night (and at $100 wholesale, it better have been). Everyone wanted more of this. EVERYONE. It was delicious and was the only wine they ran out of.So, I recommend Glazer based purely on their knowledge and selection.
