Anyone come across these guys yet? Only been open 2 months, just off Berkeley Square. I have to say I went in there yesterday and did a small wee, it was phenomenal, like if Heineken ran off-licences, this is what they would do.

Basically Russian-funded, huge selection of top-end wines but also decent lower price range too, plus a literally breathtaking selection of whisky.

But it's not even the selection, it's the exquisite attention to detail and presentation throughout the whole store. I really hope they do well, they deserve to!

I agree the site is pants, which is odd because even if they're just getting off the ground you'd think they'd have sorted the website well in advance. Anyway, definitely worth a nosey in. I thought I knew or had heard of all the decent places to buy wine in that part of the world so was rather taken aback to stumble across them- but on looking them up I realised they are only just getting going.

The whisky looks pretty good as well.
Bit too far to visit without a better website / list of stock.

I popped in there a few weeks ago for a look round. The selection is fantastic, mixing the affordable stuff with the ridiculous.

The presentation of some of the verticals is pretty decent, but considering they're advertising them at £100k plus, so it should be!

Be interesting to see how they do. I can't see where the margin is on 'fine' stuff tbh.

(unless they just happened to have it all in storage, bought years ago).

Went there today, what a place! I'm not much of a drinker but my god, there's a serious amount of good stuff there!
