In-store shopping
I highly recommend making the stop in Katikati just to have a browse through this incredible quirky, eccentric and fascinating collection of high end and possibly hard to find, or random beverages. I have never left without a varied box of gin, whiskey, liqueurs, wine etc that I may have sometimes not heard of before and I have never been disappointed with his suggestions. I will often repeat purchase previous suggestions. We try to time our travels through Katikati to make it here for opening times although he does courier as well. There is very little wiggle room to walk around, but I kind of like that aspect of the shop's uniqueness, and I think it adds to the experience. See you next time we are traveling through.

Best regional wine store in New Zealand. Owner is a maven of knowledge. Acquired dry sercial Madeira for me. Has the best selection of rare sherry. Knows I'm a demanding customer and always in a hurry to return home. Yet he still gives me great client service. Knows which of his clients are subject specialist experts, so is a real treat to deal with. Jim never asks me questions but suggests, wisely, whiskey that I should gift friends. A rare and important wine store. Dropped by today, Jim kindly recommended a wonderful peaty whiskey.
The most knowledgeable guy on wine I've ever met. He really knows his wines and helped my whole family find their perfect wine. He has genuine passion and knowledge. An absolute gem. Cheers!
I've never seen a small shop with such a massive range of wines and spirits, absolutely incredible.
The best most eclectic wine shop I have ever seen. Amazing range
You must pop in, just to experience the awesome array of wines and spirits available, but not too many people at once, there's not enough room!
I got pointed to Finer Wines by the Vivino app as they had two highly recommended wines available for order. Great online service, one of the wines I ordered was out of stock so Jim contacted me and gave me the option of a different vintage or to wait a couple of days for more stock. Great to be given the option, I chose to wait. It didn't take long, the bottles arrived the morning after they were sent and were well packed. I recommend :)
Jim's extremely knowledgeable and honest. Always get good advice along with the excellent range of wines & spirits.
