its ok.. i prefer wine wharf next door / around the corner - its a bit more chilled.. but still has a wine list like a bible..

This is more for their tasting tours/visits in particular the £32.50 "celebration" one, but the wine wharf certainly looks good for afterwards (well assuming that walking will be possible) I really wanted to know if it was reasonable value and a good way to spend a saturday afternoon

It is a good sat afternoon..... assuming you dont already have a good appreciation of wine

I didn't rate it personally. Not enough variety and very comercial.

I have what I would describe as an unadventurous appreciation of wine, I've discovered what I like and tend to stick to it which is something I'd like to expand and get away from as I'm just stuck in France.

Red: I like Montrachet, Chateneuf De Pape, St Emillion
White: Sancerre, Pouilly Fume, Pinot (as a quaffer) and again Montrachet if someone else is paying

and I tend to just look for any of those on a wine list as the old faithfulls without really trying other stuff, which I think I should

If you like Montrachet you should also try Meursault, another white burgundy...
