Review of Philip Shaw Wines

Two ratings: For service and experience of the wine tasting. Was served promptly by a young man who's recently come back from the US and was very engaging to speak with about the wines. He gave us the low down of the wines, from the differences between them to the impact that the 2019 fires had on the grapes. He gets 5 stars.

Wine and pricing: 2.5 stars. Wine itself wasn't to my liking, but that's individual to each person, every one I tried except the sparkling had a sharpness to it that I didn't prefer- a couple may have been tastier with more aeration.
What I didn't like was that the tasting price was not removed after buying several wines in our group- this is pretty standard practice for places with tasting fees and that the cheese plate didn't include a bit more food, particularly crackers, which are made in house. Did love that the cheese plate is all local produce and all delicious.
