On weekdays they do happy hour from 5-7 pm and their cocktails and wines are really cheap during this. We ordered an Aperol Spritz first and then moved on to white wine which all tasted good. We got the tempura courgettes, courgette and goat's cheese croquetas and the sweet potato fries which were all very good. Only negative thing was that they added a 12.5% service charge. So even if you go for just one glass of wine keep that in mind!

There is the most excellent range of South Aussie wines including Tommy Ruff, Hewiston and d'Arenberg. All recommended. And there is wine from everywhere else too and even some orange wine. If you're not in the mood for vino they also have cocktails, beer (Brixton Brewery) and the very refreshing Gosnells mead (better than cider I promise). Snacks include scotched eggs, cured meats, olives, the above mentioned tortilla, corn, pate, anchovies and all the things perfect to pick at with great wine. Vegos very much considered. Oh yeah and cheese. Obviously. There's a couple of outdoor spots to people watch and a number of four ish seaters inside. The bar is particularly good to sit at. If you buy a wine over 30 pounds you get some cheese for free and a couple of other great deals. If you're on Twitter keep an eye on their tasting events. Highly recommended.

I attended my tasting on a Wednesday afternoon. This particular tasting was a BYOB (bring your own baby)! It was an awesome opportunity for moms to get together with their babies, de stress from motherhood over a couple glasses of wine. I however, did not have a baby (as I was solo traveling) and was welcomed widely by the staff and all the moms. I even got to hold a few babies lol. This tasting was extremely affordable we were offered 4 wines throughout the 3 hours as well as small bites for £25 . The staff were extremely extremely knowledgeable and true experts at their craft. They talked extensively about the wines, their origin, ways to pair, fermentation and more! Their passion really allowed for a good experience. As a solo traveler in London looking for a fun midday midweek activity I was left extremely impressed and happy! Highly recommend.

So far so good. The…read moreWine Tasting Shop emphasizes try before you buy but they do charge 50p a try. I've only been in there once but the wine they recommended for our pasta was rich and the perfect compliment. The staff (I've only met one but she talks very personally and highly of the owner too) really know their wine and are proper extroverts. They'll recite a novel for you on their wine selection so you can find exactly what you're looking for. They really pride themselves on vintage wines. They have done a great job of networking with and seeking out very unique, kind of "indie" wines. One of the coolest things about this shop, and something I have yet to experience, are their wine tasting events. Occasionally they will invite a wine maker to promote his wine and offer free tasting. For a list of their events, visit: http://www.thewinetastingshop.co.uk/calendar I can't wait to attend one and after I do I'll be sure to give an update to this review.

The cheese plate featured an orange cheese that was tasteless. The blue was lovely. I ordered charred lettuce and it was sopping wet and over cooked. The artichoke hearts were salty and presented with too much sauce and were so charred that they were tough and difficult to eat. I'm usually not a fan of these restaurants where you order via app. Not sure the quality had anything to do with that. But it is nearby our hotel and easy.

I like the concept of grabbing your own wine, grabbing some small plates and hanging out. There are tons of wines to choose from, even a good selection from France. My cousin from Switzerland recommended some French wines and I enjoyed everything, especially the malbec. My favorite food item was the hangar steak share plate. It was an epic plate with tons of meats and more foods. The place itself has a cool ambience and vibe. Staff was generally friendly but they seemed to prefer regulars.

Through him, I have learnt so much about English sparkling wine, Cotes de Rhone and wine in general. If you want a great bottle of wine, matched with the food you're eating, and lots of the story to go with it, then this is the place. If you want to invest in something that is going to grow in value as an emerging brand, then this is the place. If you just want a cheap bottle of wine, then go elsewhere.

I have been in here a few times. The proprietor is not particularly friendly and can be quite…read moredismissive in his demeanor. Which would be acceptable if the prices were reasonable, which they are not. I bought a bottle of dry Marsala (the fact that they stock it warrants the one star). It was £16. I thought this was quite pricy, and looked online to find what it sells for elsewhere, and the most expensive listed price I could find was £12. If one is going to charge this sort of exorbitant price for wine, the least that should be expected is fine service. Whoever runs this establishment should up his game considerably if he wants repeated business. I will be warning off anyone who is considering shopping here. Not recommended!

If you're thinking of charcuterie...yes: pick meats or cheese or, I think, both. You won't be able to resist that buffalo burrata (cheesy outside, milky middle). And for those lighter-fare type, the caprese doesn't sacrifice taste, and you still get those huge burrata. Beware the tomatoes are juicy enough to ruin your shirt (not a personal story by any means). Should you make it past the first course without sleep, be overwhelmed with the pasta choices in your second course. All the classics: pasta and gnocchi, red and creamy gorgonzola sauce, ravioli ravioli ravioli. Plenty of potatoes and seasonal vegetables for all you who love that. And you must return to taste the vast wine selection past working hours, accompanied by tiramisu, gelato, deconstructed cannolo, and of course a double-espresso nightcap. Roll me out of there in a wine barrel with the Rosso address on it so I'll remember where to come back next time.
