| - I've always loved this store. They have an amazing selection of wines, and all things wine-related (Glasses, decanters, wine passports etc.). Their renovations have kept it looking fresh and beautiful, and the staff are as knowledgable as ever.
"I'm looking for a Falanghina"
"Sorry, we don't have that but...here's 6-7 different wines that will satisfy your palate in a similar way, and every bit of information you could possibly want to know about the grapes used in each one"
Beautiful, love it.
My experience here this last time turned into a bit of a beer-off with their beer specialist. It was kinda fun. He was impressed by my knowledge of MOA beer (an NZ brewery) and so for 15 minutes we had a "Yeah? Well have you had this beer...? No? How about this one...? This one they use these hops..this one they use these malts..Yeah? You've had that?" Unfortunately I was missing their Beer Night by like two days, but man it could have been fun to hang out with that guy a bit longer. He had all the beer knowledge. It was awesome.
Anyway, if you're looking for something unique beer or wine wise - definitely look here. They have some amazing New Zealand craft beers stocked, Evil Twin brewing from Brooklyn (my Brooklyn fav!), Quebec beers I've never seen or heard of before. Tons to choose from.
Worth a pop by if you want to explore some new territory in beer or wine, or just have a friendly knowledge-off with the staff.
