What we enjoy most is searching for excellent new wines and importing direct from smaller growers. We poke around for undiscovered treasures, we sniff out the unknown gems, the up-and-coming growers. What makes us different is that we actually go there!
Brief History:
According to local legend, there has been a wine shop on this site for 70 years. 100 years ago there was a pharmacy. You can still see the original Victorian shelving.
“I liked it so much I bought The Winery in May 1996” enthusiastic customer, composer David Motion told Harpers, The Wine Trade magazine.
Since then we have been forging an independent path, now importing our entire, ever-changing range direct from smaller growers, from wherever our interest takes us. We have won various UK Press awards including the first “Most Innovative Merchant Award” in Which Wine Guide 2003.
We are in the process of overhauling the HTMLl section of our site. The winelist is now in the form of a full list pdf updated monthly rather than annually... The regional links will now provide write-ups on who we work with. We are often asked for hotel and restaurant recommendations in our favourite regions, so we have also posted a page of "places to go" which is being updated on an ongoing basis as we wade through all our notebooks. We hope you find them useful. There is also a new page of press links. Please forgive the basic look of this section. We are hoping Tom Robinson will design new graphics shortly.
