LAWC is great for bargain-hunting! Even generic sub-$10 bottles are usually a buck or 2 cheaper than at the Wine House. But their stock is limited and everchanging so it's almost like shopping for clothes at Ross... great if u enjoy the thrill of the hunt; terrible if you're pressed 4 time.
 
Also in the same wherehouse complex is Beverage Warehouse which carries everything from 3-figure Cabs to underappreciated S. Rhones. Many of the wines featured weekly in LATimes food section are available.
 
And for mail-order don't forget the other great wine shop in the Gourmet ghetto: N. Berkeley Wines! Unfined, unfiltered is their mantra and their special barrel selections from rising vignerons will make u swoon. Yup, i'm a fan :)
 
Oh, for eclectic artisanal champagnes head over to Wine Expo. I don't know if they carry Bara, but they do have Lasalle.
 
And if you're a wine feak u can always trek on down to Hi Time Wine in Costa Mesa.
