We're pretty much limited here to Total Wine & Whole Foods in Palm Desert, and BevMo in La Quinta. There's LQ Wine in La Quinta, which sometimes has a decent selection, but that's about it.
Yep, what CaptainPancake said. I'll be back in the desert around Thanksgiving for the holidays. Home sweet home.
Some PS tips: Palm Springs: there is a new place - it was dedicated to wines, but they moved beside Palm Springs Cyclery [611 S Palm Canyon Dr, Palm Springs, CA 92264] and added a DELI and some coolers for beer. it's called 'Deli' i think lol. last night i picked up RR Damnation [wife and i love it] and a 6 pack of Victory at Sea [finally! finding that in LA was hard]. = Also in South Palm Springs - Jensen's has a decent beer selection. again, not huge, but last time i was there i picked up some Avery Beast [what can i say, I like it] and other barrel aged variations that i can't recall. good luck!
