I called into the shop today to choose a gift and the staff were excellent. Very knowledgeable and helpful, guiding me through a variety of wines. I would highly recommend calling by, the selection of wines and spirits is second to non in the area.

Reserve Wines is a must visit for the wine lover in this area, the staff knowledge is really outstanding and they have a good selection. I don't drink a lot of wine, but I do love wine and the staff here make it easy to find new things to drink at pretty much any budget.I bought a beautiful English pink sparkling for a friends 50th here and it was stunning. I have also gone through a selection of other wines finding it hard not to just drop in on my way past.Expert knowledge is something you can teach, and the fact that they bother to do that with all of their staff means almost always get what you want from this place.

We have visited Reserve many times, but this time, we were visiting for a special event, a tasting event where they teamed up with The Great Kathmandu. Held at the restaurant itself. We were served 4 delicious taster meals, with a different wine to go with each one. First up was a chicken Momo. Paired with Baccharis cava brut. A lovely light cava that went perfectly with the delicately spiced momo. Next, we had Makhan Chara. Paired with Libiam, "La Rifra" Lugana. The food eas delicious, gorgeous buttery sauce. Complimented perfectly with the Lugana. Great combo. Third was Lamb Chwela. Paired with Uva Non Grata, Gamay. This is a spicy dish, toned down so as not to overpower the wine. The wine was slightly cooled and cut through the spice perfectly. Really enjoyed the two together. I love spice, so perfect. Last but not least was lamb methi. A deliciously herby curry. Could eat it all night. Paired with Siegel single vineyard cabernet sauvignon. This was a full-bodied wine that went so well with the curry. I could imagine finishing this wine in front of an open fire. We were lucky enough to have the owners join us, including the founder who has been there since 1986! Gavin from Reserve was fabulous as well. Perfectly chosen wine to go with the food. A lot of thought had clearly gone into it.

I took my girlfriend to one of the tasting experiences they offer. 6 wines, £40 per person. I have never done a wine tasting before. I like wine and that's about all I know about it. We had some olives to snack on and then our wine expert Gary talked us through the idea of the menu. The first wine was described in detail and it tasted really good. This happened 5 more times, each wine bringing something completely new and exciting to my pallet. By the time we got to the last wine we were feeling pretty... merry.All throughout the experience we chatted with Gary and it was so nice to have the help of someone who is clearly passionate about his job and wine. He really did educate us on so much. We all had a really good laugh as well. Of course we ended up buying a bottle of one wine we liked in particular. A Riesling. Which I now know is a type of grape thanks to Gary. Needless to say my girlfriend loved it and I am well and truly in the good books. I really couldn't recommend it enough. We will be back to enjoy a 'flight' soon.

I had a great experience here with some very knowledgeable and friendly chaps. We popped in for some wine and ended up staying for a few hours chatting and enjoying a couple glasses and some snacks. The people working there were lovely, very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. They helped me pick out a couple new bottles, which I can conform were exactly what I was after.

If I could give more than five stars I would!!! This place is amazing, the staff are so knowledgeable and kind, they explained everything to us in detail for the wine we drank in. Bought some bottles to take away which were also reasonably priced. Can?t recommend enough.

I was looking for a specific wine that I could not find in other shops, and I have found today, I'm so glad to have a place where I can find Spanish wines like Paco Mulero or Juan Gil and the prices are excellent as well. The decoration was cozy and cute I really want to get drunk there. Personal stuff was willing to help and good knowledge of variety of wines and countries. This shop is a must.
