what our customers say

I’m always impressed with the level of service I receive from Julia and her team at Flagship Wines. Their product knowledge is fantastic and the range of wines is immense, somewhere in the region of 600 I believe, so when compiling our wine menu for our restaurant we had plenty of choice; lucky we had Julia on hand to guide us through the process and we now have a very balanced wine menu.

They are really easy to work with and appreciate their customers.

Deliveries are always on time and complete and Will always delivers with a smile and a chat.

Flagship wines make my life a lot easier.

A truly honest and straightforward business to deal with.

The great attraction of Flagship Wines is the personal touch. Julia will come up with imaginative recommendations for a party, function or a simple meal for friends. They are often very different to what you originally had in mind but always hit the spot.

Flagship wines is simply one of the most comprehensively stocked and interesting wine shops around. The owner, Julia, is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in terms of suggesting wine and it is rare for me to go in without buying a few unplanned bottles. It is a tiny shop and I have been going for years, but I still feel that I have barely touched the surface of what is on offer.

Thoroughly recommended.

When it comes to choosing wines from around the world with real individuality and personality I always turn to Julia Jenkins and Flagship Wines.

The reason is that you find secret gems that you simply don’t come across at other specialist independent wine shops and all are keenly priced.

Added to the mix are Julia’s words of wisdom. Julia and her Team are always on hand with friendly and informed advice and I have them to thank for extending the range of my taste in wine over the 8 years that I have been shopping with them.

As if running an Aladdin’s cave of great wines from all around the world, one the many attributes of Flagship Wines is the wine dinners that Julia periodically arranges. The first I attended showcased Yalumba Wines which were presented by Jane Ferrari, Yalumba’s unforgettable and larger than life winemaker and brand ambassador.

The second held in July 2016 showcased Painted Wolf wines from South Africa and again Julia had managed to get top level support in the shape of the owner/wine maker and sometime animal environmentalist Jeremy Borg.

On both occasions the food was good and carefully chosen to match the wines
