Our Latest Work

WE TASTE EVERY SUPPLIER

We taste everything we stock, so there is a reason behind each bottle on the shelf. Ask us what goes with dinner and you will get a straight answer, not the dearest bottle.

01.

The whole range, not one bottle

A supplier only gets shelf space after we have tasted everything they make.

02.

We ask how it is made

We taste every sample a new supplier sends before a single bottle goes on our shelf.

03.

Then we decide together

The team votes, and only the bottles we would buy ourselves go on sale.

No New Supplier Gets Shelf Space Until We Have Tasted Their Whole Range Ever No New Supplier Gets Shelf Space Until We Have Tasted Their Whole Range

Every new supplier goes through the same tasting before we agree to stock them.

  • We taste the full range, not just the bottle they lead with.
  • We ask how it's made and what makes it different from what we already stock.
  • We only take it on if we'd pour it for a friend.

That's why every bottle on our shelf has a reason for being there.
