Overpriced. A wine selection you can get from Vivino or Total Wine, but marked up 30-50%.

This is probably one of the best liquor stores I have ever been to! Upon entering this place I was greeted by a friendly cashier who was very knowledgeable about their inventory, and helped me locate what I was looking for. They have way more than just a liquor selection, very fine selection of Wine and Rosé. You can go in have a good conversation, get what you need and leave. I go here for all my needs and they always are restocked on fresh stuff.Would definitely recommend this place!

Nice guys and great selection but theres someone not wearing a mask every time I go in. I know it gets annoying but this is a public health crisis. As a customer, I shouldnt have to remind the owner to enforce the law thats in place right now.Shop somewhere else until they figure it out.

Love this wine shop! In an an era of increased corporatization it is important to help out the independent shops and these guys offer incomparable service and wine knowledge! The diversity of the selection is astounding and they keep the prices as reasonable as possible. Get yourself to Duck Blind and buy some wine!

Great selection of fine wines at The Duck Blind. This is one of the oldest local businesses still serving the local neighborhood around Montana ave. Also, craft beer selection is fantastic. Highly recommend this place. They also deliver for those who don’t want to drive and pick up.

Such a good experience! Such a vast selection of liquor and they carry more IPA’s and international beer then I’ve ever seen. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly as well, I don’t know much about wine but they took their time to help me find one I loved. It doesn’t hurt that the parking is easy either! I’ve found my neighborhood wine shop!

The duck has been my ‘go to’ for almost 20 years. They are super knowledgeable and always point me in the right direction when I’m looking for wine. Plus, they are great with my dog and always have treats on hand!

I wish I could give negative stars! Ive never been so disrespected in all my years of residing in Los Angeles. MIKE assumed I was from the hood. My boyfriend and I asked if he could open the wine because we were going to the beach after, and Mike mentioned that we were lucky he wasnt busy. I asked if it got busy pretty often (trying to get an idea if it was a decent store so I could return). His response was Have you seen the neighborhood? This isnt the hood! Have you ever seen a store like this? I literally had no words, how could someone make such an assumption. I called the store after I left and asked Mike what the hood even was? And his response was, I dont wanna talk to you! And released the call. Definitely will never return!

They are not at all a good place to buy your alcoholic beverages. I buy everyday and visit different places, this place is not even a one star.

Whats the point of having a liquor store if you dont sell kegs? They will redirect you to Jerrys on Wilshire for a large keg selection.
