Thank You 55 Degree Wine

On a semi-regular, Last Mondays kind of way, Minor Details Productions holds Spotlight Promotions at different venues across Los Angeles for happy hour relief.

This month the Spotlight shined on Atwater Village favorite, 55 Degree Wine.

Located on Glendale Blvd in an unassuming strip mall next to Starbucks, 55DW boasts an intimate underground cellar with two rooms to accommodate even the most novice oenophile's budding palate. Owner Andy Hasroun is completely unpretentious, serving the wines he imports directly to this little secret rustic lair.

The wine selection is fantastic. Every time one goes in, they walk out with a new bottle. Finding a favorite is difficult because there are so many good and inexpensive wines. And Andy is clearly passionate about the wines, as he explains the nuances to each and generously allows you to taste, taste, taste until you find the one you want.

The guests all had a great time mixing and mingling (or tweeting about it via #mix&mingle). As a testament to Andy's hospitality and the great atmosphere in the cellar, the event was over at 8 pm, but many people (including those above) stayed until after 10 pm! We hope to return to 55 Degree Wine soon. Check them out. The Yelpers have even awarded them 4.5 stars!
