    I am in Irvine for business this week and am looking for good bottle shops! I am going to The Bruery/Noble/MrK's on Friday. I've been to the Bevmo here in Irvine, which was underwhelming, and Amazing Grapes which was awesome. I am looking for another bottle shop to visit that is under a 30 minute drive from the Irvine airport area. Please help me get bottles to share in Vegas at Khourys. Thanks!

    OC Wine Mart is right by the airport on Michaelson. Total Wines have better selections than Bevmos. Whole Foods have good selections.

    OC Wine Mart is closed there. Currently relocating to Aliso Viejo, but I don't think they are open yet.

    Whole Foods at Tustin or Newport Beach is always good for bottles as well as some interesting taps.

    If you are looking for "special" bottles, skip Bevmo and Total Wine (I do love TW, but typically their stuff is pretty run of the mill). Closest shop for harder to find bottles would be Bradley's Fine Wines & Spirits in Tustin ... although the selection if fairly similar to Mr. K's. No Bottle Logic on Friday? It's very close to The Bruery & Noble and definitely worth a visit.

    Yeah its a cool spot. Glad i live by it. But weird too because you see all the rich ass wine-o's there in suits and then the guys that buy beer come in in their beer shirts and shorts.
