The Wine Bank has a vast and excellent selection of wine from all over the world. Just be prepared to pay the price.

The selection is great. The prices are great. The service is great. But what is really interesting about the Wine Bank is the new owner Pauly. Pauly also has a store in Bloomfield Hills Michigan. The store in Michigan is where Pauly became frieds with the now deceased reputed New York mob boss John Gotti. Pauly shipped wine every week to New York during Gotti's run as the head of the Gambino Crime Family. Once Gotti was sentenced to life in Federal Prison in Marian Illinois, somehow Pauly was still able to ship a bottle here and there right to the prison. Its all really interesting and Pauly is happy to share this story and many more when in the Wine Bank.

A great surpirse in the middle of the Gaslamp Quarter. Fabulous selection of wines of all ranges, resonable prices and the best Friday fun from 5-8 downstairs in their tasting room.Been there every visit and can't wait to go back.

The knowledge of the "wine guy" (Brian) and the "wine tasting" gal (Anna) are something special. They make you feel right at home in your own wine cellar

This is an amzing store with the greatest staff you'll find anywhere. Just ask them for their house favorites and you'll be enriched with an excellent selection of new drops. The Friday wine tastings from 5-8pm are a must if you're in town.

Selection and value, what a concept. The Wine Bank consistently delivers both in a cosy. convenient location in the Gaslamp. Locals know to stop here before a night out dining to take advantage of CA's liberal corkage fee law. Splurge on a perfectly aged CA, French, or eclectic selection for what you'd pay for a recent vintage at local restaurants. Tremendous inventory, always at discount prices.
