If you fancy a bottle of wine that delivers something a little more special than the local supermarket offerings, you should head for Bottle Apostle. On Friday evenings, they also host a wine tasting night open until 9pm. Why not sample an exotic Spanish red before heading out to one of the excellent local restaurants?
