| It's been a while since my last purchase atWade's Wines, but each time I have bought they have been great to deal with. Wade's tends to specialize in small production, often hard to find wines, and offers them at generally reasonable prices - often the same as mailing list price. Not surprisingly they have an extensive selection of wines from California's Central Coast, and from many of the botique producers in the region.
I believe Wade's still offers a 10% discount on purchases by the case.
One order I placed with them was screwed up (minor, I don't even recall now what it was), and for the trouble Wade's sent me a half bottle of Hug's dessert wine - a very nice touch. | | | |

| I've only had a couple of transactions with them. I would buy again as all wine arrived in good shape and condition.
This post was edited as I was writing before about WALLY's and not WADE's. Please accept my apology! | |

| Wade's is a fantastic place to visit if you're in the area and you like Central Coast wines. It's like a rare book shop to a book-lover.

| | Good service, strong selection of small production CA wines, never any problems with orders being filled but because pricing can be on the high side, I'll try other retailers first before turning to Wade's. | | | |

Yeah, I wondered about that. They don't have much of a parking lot.

| I have purchased a few times and found them reliable and full of interesting wines. Definitely a "hidden gem".
