It feels like a one stop shop fo r a really good night, doesn't it? Theres heap s of wines to choose from, and you can visit the discount bin if youre looking for a bargain, or grab a bite to eat at the café - there are some great healthy options, looking pretty kosher, I think there'll even be some vegan alternatives and such. It also feels like a supermarket of up market goods, they're heap to peruse in the aisles, a surprising amount considering how small the store is. Theres a kitchen too, that'll whip you up something, but if I were you, I wouldn't leave without one of the chocolates. Just a great mixture of stuff! Deinately worth a look!

Whenever I come over and say lets go out for dinner, he says lets go to the deli and get something and to be fair they have everything you could want. I often get a serve of their Lasagne and heat it up and a salad. These prepared meals are reasonably priced for what their quality. What really makes this shop worthwhile is the gourmet foods and wine. The selection is pricy but impressive. We had a $40 bottle of red wine from there one evening and it was one of the best I've ever had. Although their products are expensive, the quality is the highest and you know you will enjoy what you have. Bottega Del Vino is like something which has escaped from Europe and is a cut above the average deli.

They've got rums and ryes and bourbons and malts up the wazoo, every kind of conceivable small batch, artisan and limited run I've ever seen, and many I hadn't. There are wild bottles with pewter race horses sitting atop the stopper and ceramic gourds the shape of flying saucers, it's a boozer's heaven in here. They've got a wall dedicated to craft beers, microbrews and ciders, and a gigantic selection of wines with a particular focus on Australian drops. And the staff aren't just pretty faces . . . there is some serious knowledge ticking about this place. Oh, and even better? The Oak Barrel is fully independent, in fact it's one of Sydney's oldest independent bottle-o's. No big soulless chains here, fellow drinkers. This is everything the discerning drinker could possibly want.

I got the low-down on Moo Brew (wamp wamp), and heard about the newly-crowned #1 whisky in the world from - you'll never guess - Tasmania, a drop called Sullivan's, first editions of which go for $2500 these days.

If you're of more refined tastes (and have a healthy bank balance to match), Camperdown Cellars also offers a selection of rare and aged wines - not the sort of thing you'd take to the local Thai restaurant. It also offers a good selection of foreign beers - which pleases me, as I'm able to buy some of my favourite English ales (yes, the ones that are usually served room temperature!), although they are a little more pricey than in the off-licenses of London, but they do have to fly here I suppose. Oh, and if you're into your spirits, there's plenty of choices on offer in that department too. N.B. Keep an eye on the website for tasting opportunities, aka FREE BOOZE! P.S. Drink responsibly...
