Wine on 2nd

On our lists of the best wine bars and live music venues in Los Angeles.

A strip mall storefront on 2nd Street in Naples holds a wine list split deliberately down the middle, poured by partners Elena Shushkova and Teodor Todorov. Shushkova, training toward a level-three sommelier certification, sets half the by-the-glass pours to American producers and half to small estates in Italy, Spain, France, Germany and Portugal. A charcuterie board and baked brie with fig jam round out the food, and a musician plays most weekends. The bar has been voted Long Beach's best wine bar three times since 2022.
