Curious Liquids, 28-30 Kilmarnock Road, Glasgow (2025)

12/03/2025

Started by husband and wife Vagelis and Olga Chatzivaritis, Domaine Chatzivaritis is now helmed by their daughter Chloi. Before returning back to Greece in 2017 Chloi studied oenology in France and Portugal before working with several wineries across France, New Zealand, Argentina and Chile. Upon her return she brought her obsession with low intervention wines. She also started experimenting with techniques that the winey had never utilised before such as petnat and carbonic maceration methods.

Now consisting of 20 hectares, the Chatzivaritis Estate focuses on the Greek varieties of Xinomavro, Negoska, Roditis, Malagousia, Muscat and Assyrtico, and also cultivates the popular Sauvignon blanc, Merlot, Chardonnay and Cabernet sauvignon in smaller surfaces.

We really don’t think there are any wines quite like them here at curious and we are dying for you to try them. You can find them on our current glass list ‘Women in Wine’ for the whole of March!

P.s Shout out to ‘s rep Bean’s. Sean, Jess and Eoghan were impressed with this length and breadth of knowledge on these wines

A massive thank you to everyone that attended Dayton’s
101 event yesterday.

We hope you gained a more thorough understanding of the
nuances of wine tasting and how different wine making
techniques influence the juice in your bottle.

Keep an eye on Insta for future 101s.

A gentle reminder of Bochka’s Ardnamurchan tasting next

NEW WINES!!

It’s portfolio season for our amazing reps and that means only one thing… loads of exciting new wines for us and you to try!

Marv’s top two picks of the bunch are:

1. “The Raptor” Chardonnay, from a recent Aus/ NZ tasting. This toasty Marlborough Chard exudes stone fruits, toasted sourdough and yogurt;
2. Next, “La Volpe” Nebbiolo. If you like lighter Langhe style Nebs from Piedmont, then you’ll love this Aussie take on a classic.

Sean’s are:

1. Sauvignon Vert. Not to be mistaken with Sauv Blanc, this grape originally hails from Italy, (Friulano), and has had a host of names. This organic ferment hails from Serbia and drinks like a melon’y Fume;
2. Finally, “Magec”. Hailing from Tenerife, this wine is a mad blend of Listan Negro and Blanco (more commonly called Palamino). The blend of red and white grapes makes for a wonderfully wacky wine experience that could be served lightly chilled.

Get down to Curious and see what new toys we have for you to play with.

We hope by now the dust has settled and everyone is remembering the tasting fondly without the dread of a headache looming!
We just want to say a massive thank you to all of you who attended and to our lovely reps at .A huge thank you as well to for coming through and showing us some of the best that Chianti has to offer!

Another reminder that our next one is Daytons Wine Tasting “101” where he’ll be showing the ropes (and legs) of not only how to taste wine but how to seek out the types of wines you enjoy. The link for tickets is in our bio and they are moving fast so there’s no time to waste!

PRICE INCREASES
Due to government induced alcohol tariff increases, we will be forced to increase the prices of certain wines in the shop. Details of the wines affected are being ironed out by our dedicated reps and suppliers but please, rest assured this is outwith our control and we will do our best to limit the impact this has on your wallets. Price increases are not something we take lightly as we know times are tough for us all so we will do our upmost to limit the impact on your pockets. We just wanted to be as clear and transparent with you as we can. We appreciate your understanding on the issue. If you’d like to speak to us, pop in-store and we’d be happy to have a chat!

Now that the dust has settled and we’re comfortably in the new year. We thought it would be a great idea to get back up and running with our famous tastings! (And this one is a belter!)

Ever tried English wine? Ever even heard of English wine? Well are on their way and they want to tell you all about it. Blackbook are an urban winery based out of Battersea in London. Grown from their love of cool climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, they have hit the ground running doing just that with several vintages of both already under their belts.

That’s as much as we’ll give away until they’re here to tell their story. But until then, if any of this interests you, we have a waiting list live now with tickets going live next week.

Pop an email over to [email protected] telling us how many folk you want to bring (min. 2, max. 4) and we’ll get in touch with ticket links and more info. There is a VERY limited number of seats for this so get your name in early or live to regret it!!

Kind Regards,
Curious x

The big day is here and we hope you’re drinking plenty of wine, eating many mince pies and watching The Muppets Christmas Carol over and over again.

We want to just take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who ventured down to Curious or Bochka, even during the various extreme forms the weather was taking. This has been a very big year for us, we have two shops now in case you haven’t heard! The love and support you have all given us this year has been nothing short of extraordinary, not only have you helped a small business thrive but you have made us feel like such a welcome part of the community in Shawlands.

Now it’s time for us to have a well deserved rest. Have a merry Christmas and we’ll see you on the other side before Hogmanay!

Merry Christmas and Many happy returns,
The Curious Liquids & Bochka Team x

This year we have them in bags of 3 or 6 wines.

The 3 includes:

We are open every day until Christmas Eve so you’ve still got plenty of time… but the clock is ticking!

For our final spirit tasting of the year, we thought we’d put together something special for you;
Join us for a night of gin with the excellent Secret Garden! Anyone that knows Curious Liquids knows that we love these guys. A (literally) homegrown distillery based just outside of Edinburgh, Secret Garden distil all their gin with botanicals from their eponymous garden. Their lovely infusions range from lemon verbena and lavender to Scottish-grown Pinot Noir grapes! Yes, you read that correctly. Scottish Pinot Noir, which they have now vinified into vermouth.
We figured, hey, we’ve got vermouth, we’ve got gin, let’s get some negronis on the go!
Over the course of the night, we’ll sample a negroni made with Secret Garden gin & vermouth then a range of gins, including the brand new Winter Gin, with a selection of tonics & sodas.
Nibbles will be included with the ticket, and teas & Turkish coffees will be available in Bochka after the event.
Please note that this is a small, intimate event. Tables seat 2 people each, so larger parties will be split up. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate dogs.
We ask that you please make us aware of any allergies your party may have ahead of the event.

Wednesday 4th December, 19:00-21:30
