BACKGROUND

Eighteen years ago we began the business of building up what we believe to be the finest place to buy wine in London.

From the start, we knew the ingredients: an unparalleled range of Bordeaux and Burgundy, wines imported from undiscovered producers of fantastic quality and people with the knowledge and enthusiasm to champion the cause of good wine.

Today we continue to believe in the same things. As high streets are slowly being transformed into one faceless chain we believe there is an ever-growing need for the individual specialist. We remain passionate advocates of wines from all over the world that offer value, character and substance. As an independent we are under no obligation to buy any particular producer’s wines. We don’t offer big brands of no discernable merit other than a large marketing budget; we simply choose wines that we like, wines that speak of place and individuality.

Our new website was launched in September 2008 and now offers our full range of wines online. You can use this site to order any combination of wines from a single half-bottle upwards for delivery anywhere on the UK mainland. We believe that the combination of our unrivalled list of fine wines, our years of experience in the industry and our exclusive online offers, particularly on unsplit cases, make us the first choice for anyone looking to buy wine online.

Since we began trading in 1991 we have been key players in the market for fine wines, selling everything from First Growth Bordeaux to cult wine from Chile all at competitive prices. So, if you have some loose change and want a case of 1982 Pétrus or you are interested in en-primeur take a look at our trade enquiries page.

For those of you keen to expand your knowledge of wine please take a glance at our calendar of wine tasting events. Recent highlights have included a full vertical tasting of Chateau d’Yquem from the 100 point Robert Parker rated 2001 vintage back to 1975, a vertical tasting of Château Palmer back to 1970, and our bi-annual open evenings where customers sampled over sixty different wines from all over the world.

We hope you find this website useful and if you are in London look forward to seeing you at our Kensington High Street home.
