Soon, very soon, Angelenos, you'll be able to buy and drink Domenico Selections wines at a few choice spots in your town.
Once our newest shipment of fine Italian wines clears customs and hits the warehouse, we'll be sending a refrigerated truck to Los Angeles. Initially, the wise and lucky customers are going to be:
Terroni -- the hot restaurant on Beverly Boulevard in west LA. Click here for info and directions. This is a highly successful spin-off of an established Toronto restaurant. "Terroni" is a derogatory term for Southern Italians. Aglianico heaven.
Wine House -- the biggest wine retailer in greater LA. Click here for info and directions. Lucky Californians. Their laws allow wine stores to have restaurants, wine bars, etc., under the same roof. The picture is of Wine House's "Upstairs 2" eatery. By the way, when looking for pictures of "Wine House Los Angeles" I got mostly ones of that garbagey singer. I like looking at this photo a lot more.
Rosso Wine Shop -- a small but expanding wine shop in Glendale. Click here for more on Rosso Wine Shop.
Rosso Wine Shop plays a special part in our foray into California. Jeff Zimmitti, the store owner, tasted some samples that were sent to a potential distributor in Los Angeles. He tasted a number of our wines, was bowled over by them, and volunteered to start raising interest among some of his friends in the wine business. A few months later, and here we are.
It's just the beginning, and we're all hoping the wines take off and win a loyal group of fans in Southern California. A loyal and ever-larger group of fans.

There's no way we can thank Jeff Zimmitti enough for the missionary work he's done for Domenico Selections. But his success in stimulating interest shows that a committed retailer can make all the difference in a new market. For a small company like Domenico, this is vitally important.
Anyway, by the end of June -- in time for the July 4th holiday -- check out these three marvelous places to find your Domenico Selections wines.
