wine shops I frequent
Wine Therapy - they know me by name
Stranger Wines
Franklin Wines
Henry's
Vine Wine
Astor (more fun for spirits/cordials/digestifs)
Grapes that are fun:
Mourverde (lucy margaux from straya was next level)
Pineau D'Aunis (Patrick Bojou was v good)
Cinsault (be careful, ask for juicy like Matassa/Matuburro/L'Absurde Genie Des Fleurs - les vignes D'Olivier had an excellent one)
Producers:
(note list above)
Axel Prufer
L'Absurde Genie des Fleurs
Devanolo
NO MEINKLANG WINE (they might use indentured servants to harvest grapes)
This should at least start a conversation with the wine clerk, I'm sure they can assist you if they don't have any of this stuff... also don't sweat it :) I'm not snobby, I just like things a lot more than others and show it.
