From the buyer

Why we taste before we list.

Every bottle on these shelves has been pulled, poured, and properly tasted by us before it earned a place. We’re not a faceless catalogue: there’s one buyer, twelve favourite producers, and a tasting room above the shop where most of these wines first crossed our radar.

If a wine doesn’t move us, it doesn’t get listed. If a vintage shifts and the joy goes out of it, we drop it. That’s why the list is short, opinionated, and changes through the year.

Where it comes from

Thirty miles of someone’s hard work, in every bottle.

The journal

Notes from the cellar

Producer · Etna

On the slopes of an active volcano

Antonio Rossi farms a single hectare on Etna's northern face: volcanic ash, 700m up, vines older than his grandfather. We drove up last spring; he poured five barrel samples on a folding table, in the rain, and told us not to spit.

Pairing · Long lunch

Four bottles, six people, no leftovers

A Sunday that starts at one and ends at six. An aromatic Loire white to begin, a Burgundy you can drink without ceremony, a north-Rhône Syrah with the cheese, then a cold Madeira to close. We build cases of six like this every Friday.

The tasting room

Wednesday nights, six bottles, ten seats

We open the room above the shop every Wednesday: a flight of six around a theme, an hour with the buyer, fifteen quid a head. Last week was Greek whites you'd never have ordered. Book three days ahead; it sells out.
