Not your average wine store, Small Patch is an exciting addition to Hawthorn -- a nice mix of boutique wine store, cellar door and bar. Nice and convenient too, at the intersection of Burwood and Glenferrie Roads. They specialise in craft beer, microbrews, boutique and organic wines. The staff know their stuff and are happy to chat to help you make an informed choice or leave you to it. What is a perfect match for wine and beer? Yes. Cheese. They sell that too. Along with olives, potato chips and other small wine complementing tasties, they have you sorted. You can also BYO food; they have an agreement with some local takeaway restaurants on the same strip. When I was there you could grab some nosh from Omahs and Red Elephant. read more
