Above expectations
I've not seen another place like this. They have racks of bottles with suction systems that allow you to buy a small sample to taste before you go the whole hog and buy the bottle. It means you can taste some very expensive wines you wouldn't normally be able to afford, or check out some mid-range wines before you buy them for this evening's drinking. The staff are helpful and knowledgable.
The selection isn't as large as you would get with a standard wine merchant, but the fun of purchasing makes it worth it. They also run tutored tasting evenings.
NB it's very short on cheaper wines.
