From 27 June until 3 August, beloved neighbourhood bottle-o and purveyor of fine natural wine, P&V Wine + Liquor Merchants are teaming up with wine tech innovators Enomatic to bring something seriously special to their Paddington store and wine bar, L’Avant Cave: a month-long tasting series pouring ultra rare, cult, and downright delicious wines by the glass.

The month-long tasting experience gives wine lovers a chance to dip into P&V’s cellar of curiosities without having to commit to a full bottle. Expect a weekly rotating lineup of small-batch, back-vintage, offbeat and hype-worthy wines you’re unlikely to find open anywhere else

The good times begin on Friday, 27 June, where the first round of ultra-rare and highly coveted wines will be unveiled. From there, the month rolls on with weekly in-store tastings and special appearances from winemakers. P&V has already committed to cracking open gems from their cellar, including bottles from Italy’s cult Barolo legends Rinaldi and Cappellano, Jura icons Ganevat and Overnoy, and near-impossible-to-find-by-the-glass pours from Australia’s Sami-Odi and Wendouree. And that’s just the beginning—the lineup of producers will continue to grow throughout the series, with more cult favourites set to be added as the month unfolds. Guests can also settle in at L’Avant Cave, the cosy wine bar attached to P&V’s Paddington store, and enjoy the tasting experience alongside a menu of snacks and small plates made to pair perfectly with a great glass of wine.

“At P&V, we’re all about making exceptional wine more accessible, and more fun,” said Mike Bennie, co-owner of P&V Liquor Merchants. “This tasting series is a total game-changer for us. It means people can come in and try the kind of rare, wild, and wonderful wines we usually only whisper about across the counter—and here they are by the glass, without the pressure of finding the wine, getting on allocation lists or paying full price for a bottle; all of this and in a fun setting!”

P&V are using an Enomatic wine serving system to ensure each glass is served at the perfect temperature and peak freshness. The technology also makes it possible to offer aged wines, premium pours, and hard-to-find varietals by the glass—giving customers a chance to taste some truly special wines in a relaxed, accessible setting.

The month-long series runs through to 3 August, with tastings available during store hours and featured wines updated regularly. Full details and weekly wine line-ups will be shared via instagram @pnvmerchants.
