There’s a new store in town. Havest Wine and Liquor opened a few weeks ago and is a welcome addition to Northcote High Street, which has been without a decent wine store for a while. Or at least since I've been there.
The Red Star's Lazy Image Selection Continues
The owner, Mitchell, used to manage the very good Wine Society store in the city, which has since moved/closed, depending on your point of view. Harvest has a small but well considered selection of predominately Australian wine as well as a decent range of local and imported beers. I’m not sure how competitive some of the prices are, (the latest release of Bowen Cabernet is $8 or so more than Dan Murphys) but it’s good to have an independent retailer in the area who not only know about what they're selling but give more than two hoots about it as well. They have tastings every Friday night and I’ll try and give regular updates of these when I can.

I've been in to Harvest and it's quite nice, but i can't help but feel they have liberally taken inspiration from the Blackhearts & Sparrows stores where one of the guys worked. The one around the corner from me in Brunswick is getting better by the day. Still, good to see good wine getting around.
I've only been to the B&S store down in St Kilda way and I really liked it. The staff were helpful and friendly and their range reminded me of Cloudwine, which is probably why I liked it...
Not been to the one in Brunswick but I'll check it out when I'm over that way again
