Great store and range with smart staff. I bottle of new release Te Mata Estate wine from NZ here - surprised they had it! Chuffed

Popped in to get a Christmas present and couldn’t have done it without the help of the absolutely lovely gentleman working that day. He helped me pick something I didn’t know much about but done it in a way that helped me learn and didn’t make me feel bad for not knowing about whisky. Would definitely recommend

Greats selection of independent and smaller distilleries. Had a short impromptu tasting and clerk was very knowledgeable.

Walked in randomly and walked out with a fantastic bottle of whiskey! The person working there was so friendly and helpful. Tasted a few whiskeys and he was very knowledgeable about each of them… talking us through the flavors and their history. Thank you for making a normal moment so memorable!

Great little wine shop that is absolutely packed with a huge variety of bottles! I’ve been in a few times recently and they’re able to advise you on both reasonably priced wines and something a little more special. I’d recommend this shop to locals and tourists, you definitely can’t miss the giant bottle of champagne by the front door which is equivalent to 8 bottles!
