Lovely place with friendly staff. The club membership offers excellent discounts for agreeing to regular purchases and a quirky gimic where you are given a Sam Miranda key that may unlock the barrel, winning you the contents. The lock is changed each time the prize is won. Great fun and I have won 2 times! Fantastic marketing idea as it got us to visit every time we drove past.
