Portugeuse Wine and Port 31st March 2008

6 found this helpful

Last time I reviewed The Wine Cellar, I seemed a bit sceptical about their claim to be stocking the 'largest selection of Portuguese wine in London'. Well, now I'm far less so, as I had a look at the basement cellar, which is pretty likely to make the above statement true.
You have above 50 square meters (that's probably a few million sqaure feet for the imperially inclined amongst you) of dedicate shelve space to Portuguese wine and an excellent selection of port too.

It's virtually impossible to spot this from the shop floor, so make sure you ask the owner about wine or port. Do try it out. You'll be spoilt for choice.

The Wine Cellar boasts ‘The largest collection of Portuguese wines in London'. I have no means of verifying that claim and the shop is tiny, but I'll give the benefit of the doubt. This is another excellent little shop on Kentish Town road. You'll find some quality cheeses (Pecorino being my favourite lately) from Portugal along with some classic Iberian cured meats like Jamon Serano and Chorizo. You can pick up all the necessary ingredients and make a super-sarny yourself or ask the nice lady to do it for you. If you have a sweet tooth do try some of the pasteis de nata or the other Portuguese delights, which names I cannot remember.

Yum - pasteis de nata are my favourites! I know where to go next time I am in the Kentish Town Area : )
