Our goal is to make wine a fun, exciting and integral part of people's everyday lives... as it is ours. We have evolved since our founding in 1978 to become a leading
"direct source" purveyor of exceptional wines from around the world at great values. Browse our extensive inventory
(see Advanced Search) and compare our prices. If you're local, come by the store and sample something at the
Wine Bar.

What makes Woodland Hills Wine Company different?
• Broad selection and high quality of inventory. We offer a balanced selection from all the major wine producing regions of the world. Our buyers taste
thousands of wines a year and regularly travel domestically and abroad in order to identify wines of exceptional quality and value. With approximately 5,000 different
wines to choose from, we are one of the nation's largest single-location wine stores, so there's always something new. View our
New Offerings from the past 10 days for our latest.
• Competitive prices. We are one of the few retailers in the United States with the ability to buy direct from producers
and négociants abroad. This enables us to eliminate one level of the distribution chain, reducing our landed cost, and allowing us to subsequently pass along the savings
to you. We are also able to offer low prices as a result of our high volume purchasing and long-term supplier relationships. View our latest
Best Buys to see what we mean, or learn about our monthly Wine Club
which provides an easy way for you to discover values we select from a variety of sources.
• Knowledgeable and experienced staff. We've been called the "intelligent wine buyer's wine shop", and we think this sentiment is due to our particularly
well-seasoned and knowledgeable staff of wine consultants. See more about Our Staff and their
Staff Picks.
• Established tenure in the wine business. We've been around for a while (since 1978 to be exact), and we're not going anywhere. Our long-term experience
with suppliers helps us obtain generous allocations of highly sought after wines. We have been involved in selling
Futures/Pre-arrivals for many years, which should provide confidence to those customers placing orders for pre-arrival wines
that may not be available for delivery for up to three years.
Come see for yourself why Los Angeles magazine recently hailed us as "Best Wine Shop in L.A."!
Established in 1978 by Paul and Carol Smith in Northridge, California (in the northwestern corner of Los Angeles), Northridge Hills Liquor started as a corner liquor store
with what was at the time a huge wine selection of a couple hundred mostly California-based wines. That store eventually became primarily a wine shop, growing along with
the public's growing interest in fine wines, and gradually developing a more international flavor. With the exception of a catastrophic inventory loss in the Northridge
earthquake of 1994, NHL grew steadily until its original 3,000 square foot location could no longer accommodate the volume of business. In March 1998, the store was
relocated to significantly better digs (and 4 times the area!), in its current location in Woodland Hills, and was renamed Woodland Hills Wine Company.
