Can't be bettered! We are so lucky in Shelford, to have so many nice places to eat within walking distance. And Noel Young Wines is right up there.

Report
Possibly Cambridge's top independent wine merchant (and there are quite a few to choose from), Noel Young is a bit of a way out of town, but has won awards galore and is certainly the place to go if you are looking for Austrian wines. He also holds wine tasting sessions in his shop, but just remember to get someone to drive you home afterwards.
