Vintage Cellars Darlinghurst

How can you review a bottle shop without sounding like a drunk? Here goes nothing…
Pretty good selection of wine, but I’m not a sommelier, and I’m barely even a wino, so what do I really know. Well organized on the floor, reds, whites, region, country of origin, even an organic section (find the rich, sad housewives milling around this bit). Good range of choices chilled in the fridges as well.
The staff are around moving boxes and always happy to offer advice or answer questions. Sometimes up at the register they get a bit too chatty, even if they are just casually inquiring into your plans for the evening [I’m going to go home and get drunk, obviously] or if you like the wine you just bought [I don’t know yet, I haven’t opened it].
They also have a wide range of beer, cider, and premixed sweet/​fruity (girl) drinks in the fridges. The walls in front have your basic variety of hard liquor, as well as respectable selection of liquers and cordials, most of which I’ve never even heard of.
If you can’t find something to your tastes here, there’s a dozen other bottle shops in a block or two radius, although this and only a couple others offer selections which clearly rise above those offered at pubs’ attached bottle shops. Prices are comparable to those other options, so if this is the nearest shop, you may as well just pop in here.
