Open since 2003, Lancelots is the go-to boutique for wine lovers who want to pick up their favourite choice, or browse for new discoveries. When this place opened, I didn't know that much about wine - but I decided that the owners were going to become my tutors (lucky them!) I quickly learnt the intricacies of a fine wine - and that a good wine does not necessarily equal an expensive one. When I go round to friends houses for dinner, they tell me what they are cooking, and I go into Lancelots always with a budget of under £10 and get them to help me pair a wine with say, coq au vin (Chianti or Multipulchano) fettuccine with mushrooms (Californian Chardonnay) or a Thai curry (French Sauvignon Blanc). Always one for free alcohol, I love that they have monthly wine tastings. Usually these are on the last Saturday of every month. I'm even happier when they occasionally merge these with cheese tastings. These evenings are always fun and informative. I once found a sparkling rose which was made with freshly crushed strawberries. Trust me, it was the nectar of the Gods! This is also a good place to order in wine, however obscure the label. Case in point; after experiencing the best meal, and wine of my life in a little town called Cortona in Tuscany, I wrote down the label of the wine that I had drunk, turns out it was a locally produced syrah. I took the description to Lancelots and a few weeks later, I came back in and picked up a case of the same wine which they had kindly tracked down for me. Lucky us for having this place

I'm no expert on wine - at all - so what I do when I come in here is ask the very nice French man behind the desk what he thinks. I tell him about what I'm going to eat with it or who it's for or what it's for and he makes a suggestion and tells me about the wine. I then tell repeat what he says to whoever I drink the wine with. The selection is really good though and ranges from mid range £6 or so to much, much more serious vintages. There is also a fridge with chilled wines ready to drink and a pretty good mix of champagnes. Pop the corks.

Passione Vino = "passion wine"…read more And, indeed that is the case over here on Leonard Street, at this gorgeous boutique Italian wine shop. My expectation was that I'd make a quick visit (on my list for ages), leave with a few interesting bottles of wine and be very happy to drink them at home with friends over dinner. And my expectations were FAR surpassed. WHOA, this place is excellent! I had about 20 minutes so I grabbed my pup for a walk with PV as my destination. The moment I walked in the door Luca (owner) popped up from the office all smiles (and smartly dressed in a gorgeous pink jumper!), greeted me (and my dog!) warmly and asked me what he could help with. I had vague instructions from my husband for a "mineraly" white, a "floral" white and then some bottles of red. I shared this information with Luca -- and he went to work. I could almost hear the gears turning in his brain as he readied the recommendations! He asked me price point (most bottles fall in the £15-30 range), and then began selecting some the thought would be good choices. Not only did he select them, but gave me an entire backstory on each one, the process in which they were made, the region of Italy, right down to the idiosyncrasies of the winemaker. I had no idea I'd be getting such a robust education, my only regret is that I didn't have more time to be regaled with the history of each! I settled on 5 bottles to bring back, and they were carefully wrapped in paper and placed in very nice canvas totes. This smart operation also does wine tastings and small plates (by reservation only) in their secret basement. Luca gave me the full tour, and of course -- that's the next on my list for the next time I have a smallish group to entertain. I can only imagine what a treat it would be. New favorite wine shop in London. If you like Italian wines, these are your guys and it will be worth your trip. *accepts credit cards.
