Nestled snugly near the southern edge of Hampstead Heath, a mere stone’s throw from the overground station, lies a new gem in the vinous landscape. Born at the cusp of 2021’s twilight, it marks the expansion of a micro chain that took root in St. Albans. Fear not, for this outpost has rallied an all-local squad, well-versed not only in hospitality but also in the enigmatic world of wine.

Step inside and be greeted by an ambiance that marries moody sophistication with sleek modernity. Brick walls stand bare, illuminated by shelves adorned with an impressive array of wines—over seventy available by the glass, with a veritable trove of bottles crowning their list.

But wait, there’s more! Venture forth into the realm of curated wine cases, each a voyage unto itself. From the verdant hills of New Zealand to the sun-kissed vineyards of Australia, from the seductive allure of Loire Valley wines to the bold embrace of New World Pinot Noirs—each case comes complete with detailed tasting notes, ensuring your journey is as enlightening as it is indulgent. And for those eager to delve deeper, fear not the dearth of tasting opportunities! Regular tastings, a mere £40 per voyage, beckon to the curious. Mark your calendars for the fourth Wednesday of the month, where, at 7.30pm sharp, guided sips await, showcasing bottles from the far reaches of wine greatness.

In this sanctuary of sipping and supping, where wine flows freely and camaraderie reigns supreme, one thing is certain: a visit to this establishment promises an adventure for the palate and the soul alike.
