I visited the Wine Library in Woollahra (other end of Oxford St.) on a Tuesday night and it was packed – not like sardines in a squishy way but more like eggs in a carton – not a lot of room but cosy and each with her own spot. The […]
Fix St. James is an affable little nook in the heart of Sydney and a terrific place for a drink with friends. They have food too, which looked enticing, but I didn’t try any so can’t comment. Their charismatic wine list however is more than enough to ma…
