The new wine shop in the village opened a few weeks ago. Yes, I'm still sad that Frock's is gone, but the new business is really nice. Friendly and enthusiastic without being intimidating, welcoming of all levels of interest, from novice to experts, and with a really thoughtful and excellent inventory. And the automatic wine sampling machines are very cool. Good addition. It should do well.
Now Victoria Park really, really needs a fishmonger.
There's a shiny new one on Broadway Market. Not quite as handy, I admit, but a nice stroll (or tempo run) along the canal.

ReplyDeleteMy local 2000 bottle shop, within a kilometer, closed at the end of 2008. Now, I am forced to drive, to pick up the fruit of the vine.
