Every Saturday is a wine tasting with a different and sometimes eclectic theme along with a chance to sample some of the cheese that they also sell. This is not Dan Murphys - there are wines you won't find anywhere else. They are starting to stock some interesting beers as well. Excellent!

Now, there is pretty much no booze I don't enjoy (actually, there is one: fernet. Yeucch) but there…read moreis a special place in my black heart for dark spirits, and - good lord! - the range these chaps have. 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 love this place. They have a great selection and their staff is super helpful. There's very…read morelittle of the wine shop pretension, yet the guys working there seem to really know their stuff. Like I said, their wine selection is great. They have a wide variety from all over the world, but the selection is curated so it's manageable. There is also a range from expensive to inexpensive, and they have some of the best inexpensive wines I've had in Australia! They have events (tastings, classes, etc.) around wine, beer, and spirits. They look cool and I will check em out... the tequila tasting sounds particularly interesting.

I'd tasted an organic red wine at Café Lounge earlier in the week (their house drop, actually, at…read morejust $6 a glass), and was determined to find something as close as possible. Northbridge Cellars was the first stop, their range of boutique wines hinting at the possibility of small batch, chemical-free vintages. They didn't have the exact bottle I was after. But, by describing the flavour, friendly store manager Patrick went through a bunch of different bottles with me to try to find the best match for a decent price (much like organic produce, turns out these wines can get a little exxy). I was somehow coaxed into leaving the shop with an organic shiraz, coming in at a much pricier than usual $37. This classy bottle shop also hosts in-house wine tastings on Saturday afternoons, as well as lengthier wine education courses.

Wine Culture is an exceptional off licence wine store which offers a unique range of wines which…read moreyou otherwise would not always find at your local bottle shop. hey are open 7 days a week for your convenience and you can tell the staff have a passion for wine. If you are unsure what to get, they are only too happy to recommend a bottle (or 10) if you want to stock up. My father loves this place and is a regular customer. I went to the store on his recommendation and can see why he loves to visit. Every type of wine has been individually tasted- they say they won't stock it unless the wine is of a very high quality and/or they like the taste. The staff certainly know a lot about the wine- giving plenty of back-story about the wine and how they are made etc. Their pricing is also exceptional, a major plus! Wine Culture is the ultimate if you live locally!

I was passing Sydney Cellars on my way to such an occasion and it is a definite contender for the world's second-greatest bottle shop. For a relatively small shop they have a decent wine collection and great specials that don't involve six- or twelve- bottle purchases. I got two $15 bottles for $20 in their special of the week, and yae, I was happy.

Located in the heart of Sydney, RNV Cellars is my source for the finest wines and local beers. They have a wide variety of wines in stock such as the De Stefani Soler (smooth and balanced with just a bit of a cherry and licorice taste, heavenly!) and the more high end, award-winning Howard Park Abercrombie Cabernet Sauvignon. The beauty of it all is that since they're pretty near a lot of restaurants, you can buy your wine here before going to one that allows BYO. You get to save money and drink the wine you want. Next time you're in the mood for a glass of bubbly or a nice bottle of wine, try visiting RNV Cellars. I highly recommend it!
