What our amazing clients say about us…
“Being interested in wine, yet not having sufficient knowledge of our own, we love the fact that we can now consult with an expert prior to ordering. James offers great insights into wines from both Australian and International producers and is able to make recommendations at every price point. With the help of Blackbook, we can now buy wine with confidence for any occasion.”

“I feel as if I have my own personal sommelier. BlackBook wine take the time to understand my preferences, but also challenges me with the unfamiliar. Since beginning my journey with BlackBook wine I have not stepped into a bottle shop, I haven't needed to - they supply me with beautiful wines for nights in and the perfect bottles to share with friends.”
— Sally P
“I am a wine novice and I have learnt so much from the team at BlackBook wine across the past 12 months. James and Kath never make me feel silly for asking even the most obvious wine questions and they help educate me on what I do/don’t like and it is amazing how much I have learnt. I love supporting small businesses, especially during COVID times. Now more than ever is the time to shop small.”

“I love BlackBook wine. I’m guaranteed to always get great wine at a good price. I love the service I receive to ensure I get the type of wine I enjoy without trying to just sell me their most expensive product. They are knowledgeable about their product and always keen to chat.”

“When I think of Blackbook Wine - I think of the words - experts, wizards, guru, specialist all at once in wine. I was lucky enough to accompany James and Kath Carson on an adventure to Curly Flat where I learnt of the passion and joy they both get from wine in such superb surroundings. The education I received as I sat back and listened to the chatter about a Pinot Noir or Chardonnay growing in a cool climate was an experience, and one I will be forever grateful for. It was in this moment that I realised, I would never buy wine from anywhere else again but BlackBook Wines. We recently had a lovely French dinner at home and we called on James who matched three wines from the Bordeaux, Beaujolais and Burgundy regions - all of which were exceptional - the wine was the highlight of our evening and we didn't stop talking about it. We are grateful to have this elevated offering at our fingertips when sourcing wine for home. Thanks James and Kath.”

“Hosting a party will never be the same without BlackBook Wine matching the wines to your night”
— Xavier L
“The BlackBook Wine team are my go to wine gurus! Their range is fantastic, from large well known labels to smaller boutique producers, they always have something new and delicious for me to try. James knows his stuff and personally hand selects wine based on your individual preference and his suggestions are always spot on. Delivery is quick and to the door – what a service! Thanks James and all the team at BlackBook”

“As a person who knows nothing about wine except for the fact that I love drinking it, I was recommended BLACKBOOK WINE by a friend. I decided to get in touch and with the simplest of briefs about my usual wine preferences, my budget and the quantity required, the team at BLACKBOOK assembled a combination of wines that I would never have considered in a bottle shop environment but have already ended up becoming some of my favourites. They included a price list of individual bottles which is fantastic as I am able to know which wines I should keep for special occasions and which wines to open when I am having a quiet night in. The experience was not only easy and seamless, it was pleasurable. From the first contact I felt like I was being listened to and provided with personalised customer service. I will buy all of my wine from BLACKBOOK in future and would recommend them to anyone as the quality of their wine and the customer service exceeded all expectations.”
