I'm not one to venture this far west unless it's for something special, and, much to my surprise, this particular branch of Jeroboams is certainly one to travel out of the way for. I can't speak for all the Jeroboams shops - I've only ever been to this one, and even then, just once - but I was rather surprised to find that not only did this branch have a fine selection of wines, they also had a great selection of spirits, including a certain Japanese whisky which led me to this shop.
Despite the seemingly posh sounding name, and its location in west London, I found prices in this shop more than fair, even for the hard-to-find whisky.
Tom, the person manning the shop the day I visited, certainly knows his stuff. He's not just enthusiastic about wine, but also spirits and where you can enjoy them, which is why you can find craft gins, quality tonic water and other kinds of alcohol in addition to what Jeroboams is known for - wine. He's also the guy behind their Twitter feed, which, if you're a fan of good alcohol and happen to live nearby (or even if you don't, I'd encourage you to follow so that you know what special offers and tastings are on, or, in my case, when certain vintages have arrived!
Definitely a place to go to if you're looking for sound advice and something special.. or even if you're not. read more
