Must say the service has been fantastic, will definitely be buying from you again.
Very impressed with your range so far, it’s such an intelligent and well-curated selection of wine that you offer. I like how much conviction and ownership you demonstrate in your choices, something lacking in many other independents. Feels like everything you sell has had to earn its place in your “shop window” which is pretty unusual from the consumer’s end. ... So - a happy customer and looking forward to trying new things next time and a second or third bottle of previous favourites.
