Desert Wine Shop on 111 La Quinta

Such a great spot to buy some wine! I’m visiting from out of town on work, and the selection of wine at my hotel was horrific. I Searched for a wine shop near me and found this place. They had a beautiful selection of wines from all over the world and even introduced me to a couple I have never heard of. Thanks so much for everything.

Desert Wine has been one of our nice surprises during the pandemic. They are a locally owned and run boutique wine shop with a stellar stock of good wines at a wide range or prices (and styles). The staff are trained sommeliers and provide excellent knowledge and recommendations based on your tastes. While the prices range widely, we find they are exceptional at producing under-the-radar wines in the $15-$30 dollar range. In other words, good wines for a reasonable price. They have weekly tastings each week (currently on Tuesday and Friday eves) that are one of the best kept secrets in the valley.

While the selection is great, it is their service that keeps drawing us back. It did not take long for us to be known by first name. They often help us find a wine we like with the obscure recollections we have of a great tasting (“Do you remember that bottle from Italy from a few weeks ago that…”). They truly love people and helping people find wines they love.

We enjoyed our experience enough to join their annual wine club membership. We receive 6 hand-selected bottles a month. Typically, it is two whites and four reds, but as red-lovers, we receive six reds a month.

In summary, a great shop run by great people. Whether you are a casual or serious wine drinker, you will be well served.

Best wine shop in the valley. All of the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Excellent wines at all price ranges. Wine tastings on Tuesdays and Fridays are a must.

Friendly and knowledgeable owners. Nice and broad selection from most wine regions with premium to reasonably priced wines.

Amazingly curated wine shop by sweet Katie! Absolutely love the wine warriors program and love Dana and Erin even more. 10/10

LOVE this wine shop!!! Katie & Dana are SO knowledgeable about their inventory. The Tuesday & Friday wine tastings are inexpensive, popular, and FUN!!! 🍷

Best place to purchase great wine! Owner is just fabulous! She offers a carry out in this horrible heat!

What a find!!! these folks actually care that their customers understand what to expect
With their purchase(s), as the subject itself can be very intimidating.
Katie, Cliff and Dana know their varietals and vintages, and are plenty willing to share their experience with their customers, many of whom, like me, are very naive and inquisitive.
Great variety, even better values.
THANKS

Had a great wine buying experience. Cliff was knowledgeable about his inventory, offered suggestions based on our preferences and sold us some interesting and fun wines. Nice variety and well stocked.

Best kept secret in the Valley! Incredibly knowledgeable owner and employees. Vast selection of incredible wines. A MUST visit!

Katie & Dana are the best Wine Gals in the desert. If you’re looking for a new hidden gem in the desert … this wine shop is the only place to go! Cheers!

This place is the gem in the desert. Katie and Cliff are amazing. Best wine shope in the Coachella Valley and prices are fantastic. You can get a great recommendation for any style of wine here along with an education. They are great people here. Check it out.

I went to Palm Desert wine and food festival, at the fest I tried some Trinitas wine the rep there told me the best price in the desert was at this shop. Naturally I went and I love this shop and particularly Matt. I have now moved to San Diego and I still order my wine from Matt. The shipping fee is reasonable and his recommendations are top notch. Thanks Matt!

Hands down best wine shop in the valley or california that we have found! They always have a great selection and are super knowledgeable! So glad we found them five years ago!

Really great curated selection of wines from around the world at decent prices.

Search no longer! I have found my go to wine shop!! I gave what I would say was a complex request. I was interested in trying something new. I wanted to experience a whirlwind of flavor and texture. Something that changed and evolved throughout the glass. Wow!! Nail-on-the-head with a bold Sardinian Red. Thank you and see you next season!

A wine shop GEM in the desert. Great wines from all over the world and many at great prices. Katie the wine buyer and sommelier really knows the wines. We love their wine club!!!

Nicest people here and great range of wine choices from around the world. Great unknown value wines to high end award winners.

Great wine selection, solid, competitive pricing and variety and caring, kind staff!

The best wine store in the valley! You will find amazing wines and the best knowledgeable service imaginable.
