   A really lovely, friendly shop. So much experience and a shop we are so lucky to have here in Market Harborough. They sell lots of wine and regularly undertake wine and beer tasting sessions. Personally I love German beers and they sell the amazing Aylinger, Tergenseer Spezial and Jever. They also sell the Swiss Stiegl Goldbraü and Hells which are both beautiful, plus local Braybrooke lagers which are really unique and brewed to the German Reinheitsgebot purity laws. I've also bought Samuel Smith and Arbor beers here. There's so much going on and the chaps are so helpful with their advice and will try and order beers that aren't present. 10/10.

   Loved doing my WSET2 course with Nick from Duncan Murray’s. Great fun learning about so many wines. Such an eye opener - a few faves in the photos. Nick was hugely knowledgeable. Try the shop too it’s a treasure trove of loveliness!

   We’re lucky to have Duncan Murray Wines close by. Saturday tastings and general recommendations are always great. They’re also accredited WSET level 1 and 2 course providers. I’ve just completed level 2 and it was the most enjoyable course i’ve ever done. I’m missing tasting so many wines now the course is over! Nick, our teacher, was great fun and guided us through how to use the systematic approach to tasting wines and all the learning about winemaking, styles, grapes etc. Thoroughly recommended to anyone who enjoys wine and is interested to learn more. Huge thanks, Nick!

   On a cool spring Saturday afternoon we wandered into Duncan Murray’s wines during one of many down pours. We were just curious. The elitism of these kinds of shops often puts me off, feeling as if I have to have at least a degree in wine and the tasting of them to qualify even opening the door. The surprise hit me when we opened this door: the atmosphere was buzzing and we were greeted with “do you want to taste some wine?” The guys working here while looking more as if they belong behind the counter at an auto parts shop, are friendly and welcoming, willing to chat about what wine goes best with what occasion or food, and know their wines and regions well. The beer ‘wall’ to my utter delight also has a shelf dedicated to gluten-free beers! We left having bought a bottle of Nero di Avola and feeling confirmed in our decision that Market Harborough is indeed the best place for us to settle. I’m in no doubt that we will be frequent shoppers at Duncan Murray’s Wines.

   Called in and bought a bottle of bin end Albarino 2016 which was heavily discounted (£14.99 > £6.99). I asked the person in the shop whether it was still drinking well due to its age and he assured me it was. On opening a few days later, I took one sniff, then one small sip and the rest went down the sink. Unfortunately I live a long way away and will not be able to get a refund.

   Great to be back in the shop today! First time in months although Duncan's excellent delivery service has kept me sustained. By far and away the best and friendliest place to buy great wines and beers that I know - a really brilliant independent business Harborough is fortunate to have. If you are an existing customer you already know that. If you aren't and your palate wants a change from the usual supermarket offering pop in and enjoy! You'll be a regular in no time.

   They are an award winning independent wine merchants in Market Harborough, Leicestershire. Their mission is to offer their customers a superb range of wines, beers and spirits that will be dificult to find elsewhere. They are especially enthusiastic about southern European wines. Duncan Murray lived and worked in the Languedoc in the late 90's tasting the best of this region has to offer and getting to know the winemakers. Another of their passions is Portugal and Spain. Where else can you find such a range of fabulous native grape varieties and brilliantly food-friendly wines.
