A small wait whilst the assistant finished off with the prior group. Then she was able to work between us and another small group even though we were all tasting in different orders
Excellent knowledge and an obvious passion and history with the wines and the cellar door. She was able to share her experiences of aging past vintages and demonstrated the perfect drinking temperature of the dessert wine!
Friendly and welcoming and was able to politely direct us to making more purchases in order to take advantage of a special offer
