What a Space. And it could be yours!!!!

It certainly is the season to hunt down that great cosy wine bar where you can just relax and chill (with the heater on of course) the day and night away. Well you can do it here and now you can book a space for 4-12 people in the WINE STORE | WINE BAR for you and your mates.

With an ever changing list of wines by the glass to choose from, we also allow you to choose anything from the fridge or shelf by the bottle and charge you no corkage. That’s right, whatever it says, that’s what you pay (anything sub $22 has a $5 corkage tho I’m afraid). And with your vino, or sherry, or beer or Japanese Whisky there is also a small snack menu of cheese’s, olives, Spanish seafood from Mo Vida and when in season, black truffle and toasted cheese sandwiches.

So if this sounds like you, give us a call on 9384-0875 and we’ll make sure we try and get you and your mates some space.

#Augdulgence – Pierre Morey Bourgogne Blanc 2012

Oh what a delicious beast this is!!! pierre

A serious chardonnay and most certainly a chardonnay drinkers chardonnay. Did I mention its an amazing chardonnay? A wine coming from mostly Meursault vineyards, the Pierre Morey Bourgogne Blanc 2012 is drinking superbly well right now with rich crème brûlée notes all melded deliciously with ample new oak – which does not leave splinters in your tongue – and balanced grapefruit pithy acid holding it all together.

Belle sanglate indeed and always $58, or maybe $54 this #Augdulgence. And also pouring #BTG in the wine bar at the moment for $15. Bon

#Augdulgence – Jasper Hill Georgia’s Paddock Heathcote Shiraz 2014

Jasper Hill. Iconic. Enough said really…jasper

Of course not. Never enough said about this amazing wine. Even when it is young it is amazing. Coming off a dry grown (un-irrigated) biodynamic vineyard in central Victoria by wine making legend Ron Laughton, Jasper Hill Georgia’s Paddock is, and always will be, a much coveted wine here in Australia and this weekend we will be opening it up at the wine bar on pouring it for $18 #BTG and selling retail for $84.

So as Mick Molloy famously alluded to in another Aussie Icon, Crackerjack, “that’s fair-dinkum 1972 prices!!!”
