Chris Meeske was a sommelier at posh Patina when he heard about a little wine shop for sale in South Pasadena. Eleven years later, his Mission Wines is one of the best-regarded wine stores in Greater L.A. In efforts to create a shop that’s like a good restaurant wine list Meeske harbors an interesting selection at a range of prices, from $15 Riojas to $40 Oregon Pinots to collector-worthy French Cabs. Mission’s also known for its convivial daily tastings, where for $15 you get to sample three wines (five on Saturday).
