Modern shop and tasting venue with wines to buy or enjoy in the lounge with nibbles. The idea is based on the enotecas the owners loved in Italy: small, friendly places you could have a glass of wine, some good cheese, and walk away with a bottle recommended by the owner. When they opened they were one of the very first wine bar/shop establishments over here (long before all the hipsters in London started doing it!).
