Sweet Ratings: Three Orange County wine stores scored well in Wine & Spirits magazine’s annual “readers-rate-the-retailers” survey.

Customers gave Hi-Times Cellars in Costa Mesa an A-plus, prompting the magazine to note that it has “terrific depth in wines across a broad range of regions.”

The magazine described Wine Club in Santa Ana, which received raves for “unbelievably low prices,” as “the most popular place in Los Angeles for readers to buy wine.” And, the magazine’s editors said that Wine Exchange is “the place to shop for selection and price in Orange.”
