Beachhaven Liquor Centre

My boyfriend and I rushed in here at the very last minute in an attempt to buy a birthday present for his mother. Chardonnay. We knew she drank chardonnay but that was about it. We went in and started looking through the bottles only to realize we really didn’t know what we were doing. I only drink sav and my poor student budget means I only drink cheap sav. I had no idea what to get in the way of a nice chardonnay. We eventually asked for some help and thank goodness we did. The shop assistant firstly asked us some questions… «does she like a buttery wine or a dry wine» to which we replied with puzzled looking faces. We ended up deciding on a wine that came highly recommended from the shop assistant and, according to him, many customers. It had lots of stickers on it that boasted winning awards so I was convinced. The shop assistant did say this store was limited in the way of upper end, expensive wines but this isn’t something that would usually bother me.
It was a great wine-​buying experience in my opinion. The man was so friendly and helpful and at no point was judging our ridiculous knowledge on wine.
