The Winery

Cute shop but overpriced. The wines are priced around 50% above average market prices. First and last visit for me.

In the on-​going search for the great wine shops London we stumbled upon the Winery. It is a little outside the areas we normally frequent (closest station Warwick Avenue but also possible to go from Edgware Road and Maida Vale) but was really worth the trip. The winery has a comprehensive selection of wines from several parts of the world but what really stands out is their selection of wines from Germany, the selection of Riesling is one of the best I have seen anywhere outside Germany. The Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder) selection was also really great. Exciting also with a selection of German sparkling wines — have not tried it yet but will be interesting to try.
In addition to that they also have some interesting grower champagnes as well as a good selection of other French wines and a smaller but still good selection of Spainish, Italian and California wines.
The staff are really helpful and we got a lot of interesting information. Also offered some nice tasters of wines. They also do tasting evenings now and then.
The atmosphere of the places is also very cosy, a little bit of an old English library feel to it and they also have a fire place adding to the atmosphere. Really like the place and will be back whenever in search of some German wine (and also for some other stuff). One of the top places for wine in London.

I haven’t been to another place with such a good variety of wines. When I came here for the first time, I hardly figured out which bottle of classy wine to taste. The staff is very friendly and everybody is willing to answer all kind of questions. Me and my husband love the Chardonnay, so most of the times that’s our choice.

I’m not much of a wine drinker because my ant-​sized brain and short attention span can’t keep up with all the varieties, best years, etc.
That said I do like to indulge from time to time, especially when someone else is picking out good stuff (even better if they are paying).
So I imagine The Winery is an oenophile’s dream come true.
Firstly it’s adorable. And I say that as a manly man. There’s even an old fireplace, where we manly men would be roasting freshly killed meats (or wieners).
Secondly, it’s packed floor to ceiling with wine and champaign. No beers or spirits.
And, I was told, most of the stock comes from smaller batch producers from Europe and the Americas.
I tried stumping them with a sometimes hart-​to-​find Italian desert wine, but sure enough they had a few bottles. Being new to town I’m not sure how tis stack up to the competition or if it’s worth a journey… but it seemed very cool to me.
And to that I raise glass.

When I have time and some extra mooney I go there in order to choose from the great variety of excellent wines. Some can be really expensive.
I have some favourites like the rose-​Bosco del Merlo, Pinot nero rose spumante extra dry. According to me you will be satisfied with your choice of wine, because you can get some tips and advices there. It is a very interesting winery –worthed to be visited:)

I live locally and really like this shop. They have a broad range of delicious wines, and the best thing about this shop is the monthly wine tastings. Almost every month, The Winery runs a free wine tasting where everyone could pop in and sample about seven different wines, sparkling, white and red. Mostly, I end up buying one of the wines that I tasted, because I like it so much.
The guys who run the shop are really friendly and competent. So if you’re in the area and intested in wine, The Winery is probably the best shop you could find.
