The Shop & Tasting Room
Small Independent Wine Shop & Tasting Room
Serving the local area of Horsforth, Cookridge and Headingly, we are a small business specialising in wine. We offer excellent, laidback, no-nonesence wine advice to our loyal customers and surrounding businesses.
A shop, that also acts as a tasting room whenever the doors are open. Sample the vinous delights of the world in a rustic comfortable setting.

our
team...
Simon
Owner and wine-taster-in-chief!! Usually seen wearing expensive cardigans and drinking NZSB. WSET Dip
Rich
Hosts some of our tastings. Rich is an expert in many a field and is very well travelled around the world of wine!
WSET L3 (almost Dip!), a French Wine Scholar & our only CMS certified Sommelier.
Richard
Qualifications and bad dad-jokes coming out of his... let's leave that there.
Hosts our tasting events and is a regular judge at wine shows! WSET Dip
Sami
Both new to the team and new to having a child. At least she's aware that when things get too much at home, she can come to work and relax with a glass off expensive Chablis. Sami brings extensive hospitality experience and hilarious banter to the team.
Laura
Pops up occasionally to help out/save-the-day, but generally busy running her own business, Yorkshire Wine School. WSET Dip
Su
Shows her face occasionally in the shop, but is more of a behind-the-scenes kinda girl! Keeping the books straight and forever travelling! A big fan of Champagne and fine Burgundy! WSET L3 (+life)
