Hidden towards the back of a small and reserved arcade off Jervois Road I have walked past this wine vendor without noticing on far too may occassions as I thought there was only a video shop and bar barber down there. Well I am glad I have found it, becuase despite it’s less than classy décor Herne Bay Cellars has a jolly fine selection of grog. They must have a loyal fan base as there is almost zero passing trade! I can imagine people are drawn back to their friendly and welcoming nature. We joked about my struggle to pick wines based on anything but price but then I left with a couple of bottles from a deal… go figure

Herne Bay Cellars is my local wine shop and it stocks a good range of all varieties of wine, plus other alcoholic beverages. It’s located in the arcade of Jervois Road, so make sure you hunt it down. The staff are, in general, fairly amicable and will help you find a bottle of wine that suits your taste and budget. They often have specials on(like buy 2 for $ 20) and they also have a loyalty programme that gives you every 10th bottle free. Quite convenient when you shop here regularly! They store your info in the computer so no need to fuss around with stamping cards or having a card in your wallet. They don’t always open at their advertised hours… but they sometimes stay open later so I guess I can’t complain! A good local store.
