Our story begins in Edinburgh’s Michelin-starred restaurants. Jean-Pierre, our founder, worked as Assistant Sommelier at Castle Terrace, where he trained under Joel Bastian, Scotland’s Sommelier of the Year. His dedication and skill earned him the offer to become Head Sommelier at Castle Terrace Restaurant in Edinburgh —a role shaped by years of working with some of the world’s finest wines. Then, like for many, everything changed. Covid arrived, restaurants closed, and life moved in a new direction. That’s when we decided to open a wine shop with a simple idea: to make exceptional wines—usually found on Michelin-starred wine lists—accessible to everyone.
