We are an independent wine merchant based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, north of London for more than 25 years. We stock over 1500 wines from around the world, from everyday wines to that special bottle. All our wines have been tasted and carefully selected by our experienced buying team. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff will always help.

An Orange Wine held in the highest esteem. Made with 100% Albarino and hailing in from Rias Baxas in Spain. The juice from the Albarino grape is left on the skins for 15 days, resulting in a wine with orange hue and notes of nectarine and marmalade, as well as a soft tannic structure balanced by the beautiful natural, saline acidity.

Arrived for a wine tasting with the plan to spend some money. Felt rushed & ignored. Other people given far better customer service, short measures, and was spoken to like I was a nuisance, not a paying customer. Shame, have spent money there before, but wont again.

Always friendly, and so incredibly knowledgeable about everything from wine, to whisky (via fizz, gin and rum!)
Top tip:
Tell them your budget, what you're having to eat with the wine, and your taste in wine, and you'll win every time!
Love these guys

Superb selection of wines ranging from the well-known to the hard-to-find. All staff are extremely knowledgeable and are only too happy to help customers make an appropriate selection according to their taste and requirements. I particularly like how the wines are presented according to region. In short, I have never purchased a bad wine here, which is a testament to the care and pride that this wine merchant takes in the bottles stocked.

The friendliest, most knowledgeable wine merchant I have ever been to. Stocks an enormous range of wines to suit all tastes and budgets. We go back regularly and rarely buy our wine from anywhere else these days. Well worth the 20 mile round trip.
