Churchill's Wine & Spirits is located in the El Adobe Plaza. This shopping center is filled with stores that cater to the Spanish-speaking population of San Juan Capistrano. In passing, this store looks like your average liquor store, but a few minutes inside and you'll realize there's nothing normal about it. Churchill's has a very impressive selection of fine wines from such first class vineyards as Silver Oak, Silverado, Duckhorn and Opus One, in vertical vintages—several years available of the same wine. It also has a selection of rare and hard to find vintage scotch whiskies including the cult-favorite McCallan in 10-, 18-, 25- and 30-year-old versions. There are also vintage port wines, Armagnacs, Cognacs and a selection of beers from small, boutique breweries.
It is also refreshing that everything is stored properly and professionally. The shopkeeper, Fidel, couldn't be more welcoming and knowledgeable about his impressive portfolio of goods. There is also a selection of expensive cigars, as well as premium liquors.
