Our aim has always been to sidestep the mass market
monsters and offer better quality at reasonable prices - individual
tastes and flavours that positively excite the palate rather than
pandering to absolutely everybody and offending no-one.
We only stock wines we like, that have real character and are fairly
priced.
When we first opened in early 1987 we thought to have a food shop,
but over the years the wine side has developed to such an extent
that in January 2003 we stopped selling cheese to concentrate almost
entirely on wine. Since then, happily, sales have leapt ahead.
Among our customers are various corporate clients, such as the largest
merchant bank in the City of London, a college at Oxford University
and restaurants listed in the Good Food Guide.
We have been included in the Top 100 section of UK wine merchants
in the 2003 edition of the Which? Wine Guide, and also, as you can
see from the lovely gold plaque on the top left of this page, the
International Wine Challenge has selected us for the award of
REGIONAL WINE MERCHANT OF THE YEAR 2003-4 for Wales.
YOU CAN VISIT US AT OUR SHOP !
While our opening hours appear rather restricted, we are actually
licensed to sell alcohol between the hours of 8 in the morning
and 11 at night, Monday to Saturday, and on Sundays from 10 in
the morning to 10.30 at night. I emphasise that you are welcome
to ring (either the doorbell, or by telephone) and if I am in (I
live on the premises) I will be very happy to attend to you during
the hours licensed.
There is also a 24-hour answering machine so
that you can leave messages.
