Don't you just hate it when you find out about an amazing bottle shop way too late! I only wish I…read morewould have known about Melbourne St Wine Cellars sooner. Oh well, this is what Yelp is all about. Finding little gems and sharing it. Why am I so excited about this bottle shop? It might have something to do with the 400 craft beers and 2000 wines... Hells yeah! The selection is divine. This is where you will find all of the most interesting brews and vino. I love that there is a vast selection of Adelaide Hills Wines here. I have found that the wineries in the hills are selective on where they sell their wine. As for crafties, it is like a trip around the world. You will not be bored here. The store is a lot bigger than you think it is from the road. Rows and rows of glowing bottles. If you are stuck for choice (which I am sure you will be) be sure to speak to the very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They are really helpful. Prices are great for the selection, so that is also a bonus. If you are after something special or if you are particular about what you drink, this is the place for you!

Inside, bright boxes and casks line the walls, bottles like jewels fill frosty fridges. This particular drive thru is the same as most, a little smaller than some others. The staff are always friendly and helpful. And you can become a member! If you sign up, they can send you via sms any good deals on beer and wine they have that week. Often there are really worthwhile specials.

I have to say firstly that I really like the little cartoon characters on the window of the store…read more You used to see this a lot more often, but in recent years businesses seem to be veering away from it. I don't know why, maybe it seems childish? Maybe they're worried about infringing on copyright? Who knows... I like it anyway. The meats inside this store really are quality, and while we have butchers closer to us, if we're out and about and can wing a trip past this place we will. The butchers really are friendly and the range is pretty decent as well. If you're stuck for meal ideas or if there's just too much selection for you to get your head around the staff will happily share their personal recommendations with you. The sign out the front says "quality meat and friendly service". Both of these are right on the money.

Since I discovered The Meat Market, I've stopped buying meat from my regular supermarket chain. The…read moremeat here is fresh, good value for money and they have the best cuts in town! At my last visit, I couldn't resist the lamb and mint patties which later proved to be a hit with the family. I also grabbed a bargain with the twin pack chicken retailed at $8.95, which was perfect for a roast. I love that they stock Beerenberg products here and if you're running out of time and want to avoid another pit stop, pick up some pasta, vegetables and sauces here. For the blokes who love their roasted pig, a spit and mobile coolroom is up for hire. Perfect for those summer barbies. Excellent customer service, clean and bright aisle and the website is a must to go, for weekly specials and recipes. Check out their daily specials on Facebook and Twitter.

But until that day it stands as a land mark for customers turning into the off street car park. It is a direct to the public wholesale butcher offering a fantastic range of meat products any carnivore dreams of and at reasonable prices too. Be sure to sign up for their rewards card and e-mail list to get the latest specials on offer or just look up their website. There are ready to go prepackaged meat packs in the supermarket style fridges or ask for it still mooing from the meat counter display. Want it minced, diced and sliced? No problem, done. A few centre shelves stocked with herbs and spices serve as a quick meal idea and in case a quality butchers knife is required, look no further, they use them why not us. Open 7 days a week so you're never stuck for something to bring to the BBQ.

They let us sit in the barrel room enjoying the view, eating & drinking to our pace, nice. Great wines, some expensive some very well priced.

We…read morenearly didn't go in because the sign on their door said they're only open Wednesday to Saturday. As we started walking away, a young woman came running after us to say they're open everyday over the period of Christmas. (Maybe they should put that on their door..) The cellar door stocks a nice selection of reds, whites and sparklings. At the moment they have a pretty good offer on for their Moscato's: $10 per bottle. That is though if you're a member - of course. Membership costs $45, which I find very reasonable and average in comparison to other similar wineries. With a membership card you get around 2-4 bucks off per bottle, so if you drink a lot wine (like me), it'll save you quite some money over a years' time. The lady who ran after us was very friendly and helpful and asked us to try their Port (Tawny). Can't say no to that. The 18-year old one tasted lovely and at about 30 bucks for a 2L bottle it isn't too expensive. There's also a younger (6 years I think) and cheaper version of it. I found the store itself a bit dark and it somehow reminded me of a garage. However, great staff and very good prices. I'll be back!
