London, Shepherd Market Wine House

I haven’t been to Shepherd Market for such a long time, and frankly  I
can’t remember last time I was in the area. I remember it was one of the
first places I wondered around when I first arrived in London.  My dear
friend and PR extraordinaire, Tracey invited me to visit her new
client’s venture, Shepherd Market Wine House.

Shepherd Market’s
past is very colourful, full of famous and infamous stories and
visitors. It’s just hidden between Piccadilly and Curson Street. This
small oasis in the middle of Mayfair is full of quaint pubs, independent
shops and boutiques, and bijou restaurants. Walking around this part of
town is pleasurable, and the architecture takes you back centuries.

Shepherd Market Wine House started its life as a successful pop-up end of last year for six weeks.  After refurbishment, it has now open as a firm neighbourhood spot to discover and enjoy wines from around the world. Try wines by the glass, which are very reasonably priced or buy bottles to drink at the venue or take away.  Also, the innovative Coravin system (see video below) enables customers to taste a small selection of fine and expensive wines by the glass, with wine list changing frequently.  This revolutionary new wine system enables the patrons to serve magnificent fine wines by the glass, so the customers can taste world’s most famous wines, without having to pay for a full bottle. Prices from £14 to £40/glass pending on the rare fine wine available at the time.

There
are sittings at street level and basement – ideal for private tastings
or small gatherings. The wine list with 20 wines, including sparkling
and Champagne, are served by the glass with platters of cheese, olives,
pate, terrines and charcuterie to share.

Tuesday Wine Club – wine tasting from £15

I visited the venue on a
Tuesday when the first Tuesday Wine Club tasting ‘Italian Island wines’
presented by MW John Pepper took place. This place is seriously
adorable and charming. Great wines for entry level and wine connoisseurs
alike.  Outside tables will certainly be disputed over the Summer.  The
charcuterie and cheese were of high quality. As for the service, it was
very attentive. I am looking forward to return and discover more
wines.  Prices: Bubbles from £8.75/glass (125ml), wines from £7/glass
(175ml)

    Oh wow what a great sounding place to stop into for a bite to eat – I am totally calling in should I be in the area. x

    Oh this looks great, definitely the kind of thing my parents would love. I'm sadly not a huge wine fan x

    It looks so homely and rustic! I don't tend to drink wine but feel like I would enjoy it way more somewhere like this rather than a busy pub x

    What an awesome place to discover some new wines. I'd definitely be happy to visit the Shepherd Market Wine House.

    Now this is my kind of venue! All of the wine, cheese, meat and bread! Awesome!

    Wine and cheese isn't my thing, I don't drink and I'm lactose intolerant 🙁 But my sister would be all over this (literally) she loves her wine, vintages and homemade wines.
