Every new hire starts at the counter

Nobody sells a bottle here they have not tasted first.

02.

Beer, wine, spirits and whiskey

Every new staff member tastes through the whole range before serving a single customer.

03.

Notes on every bottle

Staff write tasting notes so advice at the counter is honest and specific.
