Originally established in 1987, we have a wine shop in Monmouth.Our aim has always been to sidestep the mass market monsters and offer better quality at reasonable prices - individual tastes and flavours that positively excite the palate. When we first opened in early 1987 we thought to have a food shop, but over the years the wine side has developed to such an extent that in January 2003 we stopp
ed selling cheese to concentrate almost entirely on wine. Among our customers are various corporate clients, such as the largest merchant bank in the City of London, a college at Oxford University and restaurants listed in the Good Food Guide. While our opening hours appear rather restricted, we are actually licensed to sell alcohol between the hours of 8 in the morning and 11 at night, Monday to Saturday, and on Sundays from 10 in the morning to 10.30 at night. I emphasise that you are welcome to ring (either the doorbell, or by telephone) and if I am in (I live on the premises) I will be very happy to attend to you during the hours licensed. There is also a 24-hour answering machine so that you can leave messages.
