There's a new winery in town! There's always lots of cool places you come across in St Peter's and…read morethe Urban Winery Sydney is no exception. Located just off 75 Mary Street, this place is a little hard to find and you probably won't stumble across it by chance as it's located a little back from the main road. Went there for a birthday party and the winery has a great setup, especially for a private party. This is a working winery where the grapes are brought into and you can see all the machinery that is used to make the wines. There are barrels in neat rows stacked 3 high and rows and rows of wine bottles along one side of the wall. Below are some detailed instructions on how to find the place. Entry via 70 Edith St: Enter the gates at 70 Edith St, in 20 metres turn right at the T intersection. The winery is 20m ahead on the left. Entry via 75 Mary St: Enter the driveway at 75 Mary St, in 20 metres follow the road left, keep straight, in 50m, follow the road right. In 20m turn left at the T intersection. The winery is 20m ahead on the left.

The team confirmed the booking and stayed open late to cater for us, accommodating everyone's arrival times and needs. We also tasted a bunch of great wines. Thanks for helping to make our night so special!

Every 'organic' vineyard i've ever been to has been pretentious and not really great tasting so I…read moredidn't have high expectations when we drove out to Krinklewood on the recommendation of a friend who's brother swears by the stuff. When we arrived I was gobsmacked. Krinklewood has to be one of the most beautiful wineries in the Hunter if not anywhere. It has a real Tuscan feel to it and there are chook and peacocks bobbing about (you can buy their fresh eggs here too). The staff were really friendly and really down to earth and if you're in a small group you can pull up a chair and table anywhere inside or out and they'll bring all the wines to you to taste. Even more surprising to me was that their wines were amazing. I'm not normally a white drinker but walked away with half a dozen of their Semmilon and quite a few reds. Just about everyone in the group bought something and quite a few of us joined their wine club as well. Definitely put Krinklewood on your list of vineyards to visit even if it is only just for the spectacular scenery.

That stuff being the good stuff AKA sweet sweet booze, son. Got a hankering for something short batch and hard to find? They'll have it. Want something to inspire you, something you've never seen or heard of before? They got it. Hell, maybe you're going to Moonlight Cinema and have the booze sorted, but need some deli-style snacks to with it. Yep, sorted. Giant green olives stuffed with fresh chilli, thanks for asking. And oh, the holy land of an independent liquor store! They're getting harder and harder to find these days, nigh impossible really. Normally indies have the feel-good thing going for them, but lack the range to really impress, but ye cats, you could spend weeks in here. If you see a guy with a beard, he probably has. Be a sport and buy him some food then show him where the exit is. Then tell him to pay it forward.

Ok it's really hard to know what it's suppose to be but it's basically a bit of all of the above and then some more. The store offers a lot in terms of alcohol. They got s great selection of wines and beers and some quirky party drinks to suit any cocktail party in which you want to impress. They often have suppliers giving out samples here and staff are helpful when it comes to suggesting suitable drink for any occasion. The grocery section is a little random and I don't think it's the kind of store you would likely go to do a weekly shop at because they have limited choices for certain things. They do however offer some unusual snacks and foods and your bound to pick up something every time you go here to try just for the fun. It's a different experience in here and would highly recommend it as an off licence and perhaps good for party snacks otherwise your probably better off making the trip up to Bondi Junction for one of the main stream supermarkets.

One of a couple of business's that occupy the lot on the corner. What it is, is basically a warehouse full of alcohol. Like a Bunning's Warehouse of booze. It's huge. Wine's as far as the eye can see and a wide selection of beers and spirits. Ice is available in their freezers and bits and pieces necessary for a party are sold here as well. There is a parking lot out the front and trolley's are available should you be requiring a large amount of grog. While Amato's isn't the cheapest bottle shop, that's not to say that it's expensive, but it is not a discount retailer. Ideal for parties, when you're looking for a brand of beer or wine that is hard to get your hands on and when you're really really thirsty.

People…read moredriving past on their way to Haberfield and Five Dock may have noticed but have never been interested in what lies inside the building. Go past the brick wall and around the corner into Norton St and you come across the driveway and parking area for Amato's Liquor. Amato's is a large warehouse-sized (600 sq ft) liquor store that carries wines, spirits and beers from all over the world but apart for a huge range of Australia wine specialises in Italian wines. They have a wonderful selection at all price points so that anyone with an interest, be they novice or confident connoisseur can purchase a bottle of vino Italiano. However, the rest of the world hasn't been left out, 35% of their stock is imported. Like all other liquor stores, they have wine in the fridge, which on a Friday night comes in very handy as there are so many BYO restaurants in the area. They also have case deals for people who want to buy in bulk. A cool-room especially to keep the beer nice and cold is at the front and the spirits and liqueurs are in easy reach on the wall facing the front of the store. With thousands of products in store and over 250 beers, the store can be a little overwhelming but Franc, who owns the store has plenty of help and they are always ready to suggest a product if you're not too sure what to buy. There's parking for about a dozen cars at the front of the store which is handy as there's no street parking at that point in Norton St. Also available: * Panetone (at Christmas) * Ice * Wine Accessories * Pasta / Sauce / Oil * Soft drinks * Confectionary * Glass Hire

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!
