Champagne in San Pedro?

[so there]

Do any of you know if there's a wine shop near the pier in San Pedro? We'd love to bring some champagne and wine on board (how cool that Princess allows this....NCL does not). We'll be flying to LA, and wine in our checked luggage is not an option. I don't look good in Cabernet. :D

I am joining you on this champange quest. We are going on the Diamond Oct. 7. When are you sailing?

 

Oh..and I have been to San Pedro a few times but never found any wine shops. I am flying into LGB and will most likely find something over that away.

Good evening,

 

Really nothing around SanPedro terminal. Buy it at the airport before cabbing it to the pier.

 

Cheers

You could go to the Ocean Market on North Harbor Boulevard, which is about a 10 minute stroll from the pier - N. Harbor runs parallel to the channel. Or you could have your cabbie stop at any grocery store along the way from the airport - Ralph's, Von's, Albertson's - they all carry a big selection of wine & champagne at much better prices, especially the sale items. Even if the cabbie's meter is running you'd probably do better charging through the supermarket than at Ocean.

 

That's the beauty of California's liquor laws - you can find the stuff just about anywhere. Cheers!

Took about three minutes looing on the web and got this info. No idea what they carry or if they are still in business. What else you want to know.

The last time we were there, as you walk out to the street from the terminal, go left and less than 1/4 mile is a small strip of stores that also had a rental car office. There was a liquor store(or a store that sold liquor in there).

[so there]

thanks for all the information. It looks as though we won't have any trouble finding a bit of bubbly. We're sailing on 20 November. I'm finding it hard not to start celebrating now!

Having been born and raised in San Pedro, I can tell you it lacks for many things---BUT, it does NOT lack for liquor stores.
