best place to get LOTS of wine?

[amnesiac]

I need to buy a total of...oh, I guess like 20 bottles of wine for christmas gifts. Anyone know where I can get a good bulk discount in the LA area?

Ask a bum on the street.

Comedy "Buy the boxed kind" option

(Hey, it would be easier to wrap)

Call up a liquor store and ask. Go wherever you go normally, they might give you a good price on a case.

Costco

Drive north a few hours...cross a big bridge that has a rust-color to it...go northeast for a bit...start smashing grapes like mad!

Unfortunately, "bulk discounts" are somewhat of a rarity when purchasing alcohol. You might want to check your local "Liquor Barn" or equivalent.

Yeah, great place if I want LIQUID FECES.

I've bought about 5 different bottles of wine from Trader Joe's and all of them were crap.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Sam's Club has amazingly goods wines for equally amazingly low prices -
in some states, they are required to even let non-members purchase liquor (only) because of licensing issues.

try Sams Club - if your not a member - find someone who is- or just go there and tell them you want to buy wine, and see if they let you in.

i purchased lots of champagne there for gifts, at really low prices (for great champagne by the way)

Costco is actually known for their wine buyer.

Amnesia how long are you willing to drive? I used to work at the Yardhouse in Costa Mesa, which if you're familiar with the chain has over 180 different beers on tap.

Anyhow, I still remember some of the vendors we used locally and there's one out in Newport...let me know and I'll point you in that direction.
