A lovely indie-addition to Muswell Hill - definitley a big plus over the usual Nicolas Wine outlets…read more(or whatever they're called these days). We went to this shop a few times already to pick up wines for dinner parties that we were attending or to stock up our own wine emergency stack. I really liked that when we came here the staff was not only very friendly, but also quite knowledgeable and not pushy at all. I also read on posters that they have monthly wine tastings and wine pairngs (in conjunction with Cooks from next door). I made a mental note to come and check out on of these gatherings one day...you can never know enough of wines, right? What I also liked was they they had a rather nice selection of unique California wines, from small and selected vineyards. Definitely a plus for the California expats who miss a piece of home...

For a local offie it's great. I love the sweet man that works his socks off and is there every day…read morewith a smile to greet you and ask after your day. They have a huge selection for the comparatively small shop. You can even ask the owner when he is next on his cash and carry run and put in special requests. A decent working class place to get your booze. Ciggies and alcohol with no frills. I imagine this is what all local shops / shopkeepers were like "back in the day"

The name says it all. End of this review…read more Ha ha... I couldn't leave it like that I always have more to say. I love this little store. It is wall to wall alcohol dispensed by a couple of Greek or Middle Eastern (I can't really tell. Ooops!) guys who are always welcoming. The store has the old magical feel of a Diagon Alley wizardry shop. They have an awesome selection of spirits at very reasonable prices. There are also wonderful credit crunch beating deals such as two bottles of wine for £5. My favourite finds are Aperol, awesome Mount Gay rum for £12 and scrumptious Desperado beer. Drinkers Paradise, you are fantastic.

If you think Drinkers Paradise is a good place to buy beer, you may be a tosser or a moron…read more There's a reason beer is in cans or brown bottles. That reason is that beer can be "light struck". Light struck is the term used when the hop compounds that cause yummy bitterness react with UV light to produce methyl butane thiol (MBT). MBT is a similar chemical that Skunks use to make their fantastically stinky skunk smell. Beer in cans block out all UV ray, brown bottles most, green less and clear none. When you approach Drinkers Paradise, it's quite apparent that there are many bottles visible in the window. I'm guessing the owners aren't the biggest beer drinkers. Not to mention the big Fosters logo on the outside to make anyone who enjoys good beer cringe. Please for the love of God stay away from Drinkers Paradise.

Excellent store specializing in fine wines and spirits Located near the Hampstead tube station…read more Great recommendations on wine and also helpful on some sherries that I wanted to buy. The store is well proportioned with a nice atmosphere, the wines nicely displayed, and the prices are fair. I certainly recommend this place.

Cute little wine shop in Hampstead. The selection was somewhat limited, given the size of the shop,…read morebut we were able to get a few very nice bottles to bring to a dinner. Because I do not live in the area, I wasn't able to get a good feel for whether the prices were average or not. In any case, it's nice to have a wine shop in the neighborhood where you can get a quality bottle of wine when you need one.

And almost everything they got seems to have a deal on, or be reduced. I'd never been in before, maybe this is the just the pre-Christmas bonanza. And it's not like I'd ever bought friends and loved ones a crate of Nigerian Guinness before. Friends, family, if you're looking for something to get me this year... Yup, so whiskeys, wines, champagnes, all that stuff. Errm, yeah, joyously cheap. Come here, I wish I lived closer, strictly...

I was grooving to the Highgate frequency when I stopped in here to get a spinanch/hummus sandwhich and a soy shake, This store isn't that overpriced considering the location across the street from Highgate Wood. Deli and Delights has a nice selection of Blue Dragon soup, Seggiano sauce (makers of the best pesto sauce around) and loads of expensive chocolates. I felt fabulous shopping here.

Well we're not in Kansas (or Manchester or Brixton or Hull) anymore…read more You know you're growing up to be part of a demographic where you've found a shop local to you that sells your favourite vegan raw basil pesto. (I'm not actually vegan; the pesto is just wonderful!) You know that you've found indulgence when you've found a shop that sells tea in pillows rather than bags. You know when you've found love when you've found a shop that sells organic lime and tequila marmalade. The place is just outside Highgate Underground station and one of the first places I shopped when I first moved here. The place is small, not particularly pretentious but very artisan and supplies more simple things such as a small selection of frozen foods and toiletries. I try not to come here as I do tend to raid the antipasti and the weird and wonderful marmalade. So much quality so much temptation and worth a visit.
