Those wines that are featured have had to endure a series of appraisals by the owner and cellarmaster Paul Jr., based on both their quality and their price.
Soon after completing his degree, he began working for a pharmaceutical firm in the product development department, where he concocted new cough medicines, antifungals, etc.
[1] Walter Reese's motivation to sell the pharmacy was greater than his desire to keep the liquor store, and Palos Verdes Wines and Spirits was born.
[4][5] The day Kalemkiarian Jr. received his driver's license, he delivered his first round of Wine of the Month Club packages to local customers.
Paul Kalemkiarian Sr., however, had retained the mail order rights, and trademarked the name "Wine of the Month Club", which he soon operated as a freestanding entity.
In 1990, and after the six-month trial period had elapsed, Kalemkiarian Jr. was ready to make a career change, and purchased the business from his father.
