This place has quickly become my new favorite spot to chill. The wine selection is astounding. The owner is absolutely lovely. And the food! The cured meats! Divine. Ain’t no cheapo wine here, they mean business!

Whilst appearing to be a small premium wine bottle shop, Seddon Wine Store is best experienced as a casual ‘wine by the glass’ meeting point. The venue, with seating at high tables of 4, is quiet and intimate which is refreshing after noisy restaurants and bars — conversation flows easily whilst your eyes wander over the wall of fine wine imagining all the possibilities. The knowledgeable advice is also a highlight as staff here really do know their product whether it’s Presecco or Piedmont they’re quick to offer valuable advice to help you with your selection. A delicious selection of cold tasting plates are also on offer. Cheeses, olives, pates, cold meats and white anchovies are presented skillfully to complement the wine. Give it a try!

This place smells delicious: A veritable fug o European cheeses and seasoned olives It’s all very continental. They sell a decent selections of wine but I’m most exited by the beers: They have some fantastic boutique brewskis from Australia and the states(including HUB tinnies from my hometown of Portlandia, USA). Take home a shmancy six pack or dine in and enjoy sophisticated musings over a plate of cured meats and a glass of pinot.

It probably says something about the area, but the strip that Seddon Wine Store is located on contains 4 bottle shops. The others are those chain store everything-but-nothing kind of places with cask wine, a lot of beer and premade shooters. Seddon Wine Store is to alcohol what a gallery is to art. Basically, it’s small but thoughtful. They cover a range of price points, but they don’t have mainstream over-advertised hangovers in a bottle. The owner, Simon, is often in the store and knows his stuff. He’s always available for a chat and to dish some advice but isn’t a vino snob. Most pleasantly of all, Seddon Wine Store now has an itty bitty wine bar located inside. Just a few tables, but goodness knows they have a great wine list to choose from, and some fabulous little things to munch on(think wagyu salami and nuts and whatnot). The biggest problem I can think of in fact, is that Seddon Wine Store is located directly between my house and the newsagent.
