The Verdict
To "Cellarbrate": Cute little 150 year old cellar door, fabulous history and amazing wines To "Wine about": Reception from staff has been inconsistent. We also note that certain premium wines are not available for tasting, however, given the price point, this is to be expected Would we visit again: Yes, we have visited on a number of occasions How many bottles did we buy: 6 and 6 Suitable for: Couples & serious wine lovers. Not big enough for large groups Visited June 2010 and June 2014 |
