Where to Drink Wine in Beverly Hills

The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills

Founded in 1967, Colonel Sigmund Roth sought to build a store with exotic cheese and food at its core: a vision that was carried out by Norbert Wabnig when he took ownership of the store in 1978, shaping it into the iconic LA institution that it is known as today, right here in Beverly Hills. The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills features over 600 cheeses sourced from around the globe, generously stocked luxury charcuterie, caviar, truffles, wine, spirits, sweets, specialty gourmet goods and so much more.

In 2022, Norbert sold the store to 20-year employee Dominick DiBartolomeo to continue the tradition and bring new energy to the store while paying homage to its history. In 2023, the Cheese Store of Beverly Hills moved to its new larger location on S. Santa Monica Blvd, allowing for an expanded selection of imported Italian foods as well as a new menu of takeaway specialty sandwiches, salads and sides.
