The Hidden Gem: Venice Beach Wines
For the more couture adventurer, Venice Beach Wines, tucked away on Rose next to Ace Trophy (yes, a trophy factory), just teems with local authenticity.  The fresh sangria is second to none and the wine and cheese selection will satisfy your palette for sophistication.  You might even get to share a bench with neighborhood local regular Rosario Dawson.  And be sure to check in for their monthly parties, which take over the aforementioned next-door trophy factory and serve up a magical flat-fee open bar of selected wines and artisan cocktails. 529 Rose Avenue [Website] [via]
