Lonely Planet review

Flouting the rules of wine snobbery, this laid back little Bywater shop specializes in a good deal. The owner, Chris Rudge, is a sommelier who seeks out great wines that he can put a fair price tag on - for under around US$10 , say. He does the research and the buying so his customers don't need to ask themselves 'Should I go with the around US$10 cabernet or should I take a chance on this around US$18 pinot noir?'

The real allure, however, is that this is just a friendly neighborhood spot where patrons can linger over a glass of wine. Rudge and his krewe of regular customers are good company.
