This small off-licence used to be located right on the Seven Dials, but moved a few years ago. Its range is not as wide and deep as the larger Oddbins stores such as Farringdon, but it still has an amazing selection of (mostly) decent wines, with some real stunners hidden among the plonk.
The Oz and Sth American range is good, but some of the best value for money wines I’ve bought here have been French, mainly Rhones. A good selection of Rhone and white Burgundy is complemented by interesting Sth African wines. Some good mid-price Clarets too.
To make life even more interesting, they have some excellent special offers on bottles and cans of beer. There is also a reasonable selection of spirits and even some cigars and accessories.
Last time I checked they also offered free glass hire.
Many of the staff seem to move on very fast, and recommendations by staff vary, with not everyone being terribly familiar with what they stock. Trust your own nose and palate and do some research at home before you set off.
