No stuffed shirts here...just folks who love wines, know their stuff and want you to like what you get. They help by asking what you want, not telling you what the wine scored. I was glad to find a big selection of tools, openers, art related to the love of vino too. Great shop, selection. Tastings every Saturday for free too.
Pros: tons of free parking on street. Good hours, open 7 days. Stayed late when I showed up at 5 minutes to closing.

I love good wines but I don't know much about them and going into some wine stores I get a little intimidated because of a kind of snob attitude. Not at Arista's, they ask questions and they help guide me to the perfect wine everytime. I thought I was a cabernet fan but David Arista showed my that I was an Australian Shiraz fan!! The Arista crew has also turned me on to a bunch wines I had never even heard of. I have become the envy of my friends (we do blind wine tastings) because I always show up with the "wow!" wines. My wines always win at the blind tastings or rather the wines that David picked out for me. I am local so I stop in for their Saturday wine tastings (free) and again I always find new wines at those events too. I used to pick wines by the label (dumb, I know) but now I have the crew at Arista's steer me and they nail it everytime. Arista Wine Cellars and C'est la vie are right next to each other so my wife and I always stop in after buyng flowers at the farmer's market every Saturday during the summer. RM
Pros: great service, great staff, great wines
Cons: None
