But if the outbreak hits Bondi first I'm heading straight for Leichardt. I could spend hours in the wine section just choosing a bottle for dinner- it's all clearly labelled with region, price, matching suggestions and RRP- all the info an amateur wino (I mean wine lover) could possibly need to assist in making an educated guess. The beer and spirits selection looks equally tantalising, but I was all about the entire section of bio-dynamic wines on offer at Vintage Cellars.

Good Morning, I'm…read morewriting to you in absolute frustration and disappointment. I have been a loyal client for many, many years. Please review my Vintage Cellars membership details to put my complaint into perspective. Reference Number 59952253 I placed an online order which I do roughly every 4 weeks. I am very particular about wine vintage and never, ever order anything that doesn't list a vintage. The above order included more recent vintages for both the Saltram and Taylor Estate Wines. On January 9th, I attempted to return these incorrect wines to the Leichardt Vintage Celllars at about 12:30 PM. I was greeted by a very polite and helpful woman who explained she could not process the return but her manager would be arriving at about 1 PM and could I come back. I'm sorry, I didn't record her name but I did say that I was disappointed she was not empowered to make this decision and as a loyal customer, I was now already put offside. At about 1:10 I went back to the store and asked a gentleman I had not seen before if he was the manager. He said, "No." The lady I had spoken to prior, then told him who I was. He picked up the box of wine and started to give it back to me saying he could not process a return if the order was made online. I suggested he should ring the police as I wasn't leaving until the credit took place. He then asked me if I had tried this at any other store. I said, "what difference would that make, but no I haven't." He then pretended to make a call and then processed the return. My complaints are: If Vintage Cellars is not going to provide the vintage as advertised then either don't list a vintage or allow me to stipulate somewhere 'no substitutions.' Allow returns in store regardless of the channel used to purchase them. Empower your staff to keep clients happy. At absolutely no point did either staff member apologise.

They've got rums and ryes and bourbons and malts up the wazoo, every kind of conceivable small batch, artisan and limited run I've ever seen, and many I hadn't. There are wild bottles with pewter race horses sitting atop the stopper and ceramic gourds the shape of flying saucers, it's a boozer's heaven in here. They've got a wall dedicated to craft beers, microbrews and ciders, and a gigantic selection of wines with a particular focus on Australian drops. And the staff aren't just pretty faces . . . there is some serious knowledge ticking about this place. Oh, and even better? The Oak Barrel is fully independent, in fact it's one of Sydney's oldest independent bottle-o's. No big soulless chains here, fellow drinkers. This is everything the discerning drinker could possibly want.

Like I said, their wine selection is great. They have a wide variety from all over the world, but the selection is curated so it's manageable. There is also a range from expensive to inexpensive, and they have some of the best inexpensive wines I've had in Australia! They have events (tastings, classes, etc.) around wine, beer, and spirits. They look cool and I will check em out... the tequila tasting sounds particularly interesting.

Located in the heart of Sydney, RNV Cellars is my source for the finest wines and local beers. They have a wide variety of wines in stock such as the De Stefani Soler (smooth and balanced with just a bit of a cherry and licorice taste, heavenly!) and the more high end, award-winning Howard Park Abercrombie Cabernet Sauvignon. The beauty of it all is that since they're pretty near a lot of restaurants, you can buy your wine here before going to one that allows BYO. You get to save money and drink the wine you want. Next time you're in the mood for a glass of bubbly or a nice bottle of wine, try visiting RNV Cellars. I highly recommend it!

They also had a discounted barrel with wines priced to sell... several decent bottles for $5-$7 included. There is a beer freezer in the rear of the store which holds 7-8 domestic beers and 10+ imported beers ranging from $13-$25 for a six pack. There was also a respectable amount of ciders to choose from. However, you will not find any beers over 5% alcohol or any true craft beers. The counter attendant on duty when we visited was best described as douchy... acting annoyed by our questions regarding various wines and beers, and as if we were interrupting his day by wanting to check out. Regardless of the douchy staff, I still assign this bottle shop 4 stars for the great selection and fair prices.
