See it... Hold It... Taste It... Enjoy it!

One of the features of Story Teller from the start has been our "Walk in Wine Room". With over 100 bottles from the major wine producing countries in the world, we cover most tastes. To see a bottle, hold it, read the label and the light hearted tasting notes makes the experience of choosing a wine so much more fun than just looking at a list.

We are always happy to help if you just cant make that final decision
