Acton (a little like my home town of Croydon) isnât really associated with good food and drink, and on these grounds is often ignored by foodies. Whether that is true or not (and Iâd contest making that kind of judgement about ANY area!), there is at least one interesting thing for the gastronomically inclined to be found in Acton (well, two - if you count an Ancient Roman themed Italian takeaway called Hadrian'sâ¦)
As you have probably guessed, that âthing' is Vindinista, and having been there for one too many glasses of wine with my good friend and fellow wine writer Tim, I would like to tell you about it.
Vindinista is essentially a wine bar. And a tiny one at that (âtiny bar, huge attitude). I donât know how many they sit, but it canât be more than 30. Nothing too unusual there, right? Itâs what they serve thatâs interesting. The motto at Vindinista is âwine liberationâ. They have a pretty eclectic selection of vino (lesser known producers, styles, regions & grapes) and they focus (in their own words) on âwines off the beaten pathâ. The list changes very regularly, and many of these lesser known wines are available by the glass too (joy!). Vindinista is owned by Paola Tich - a wine blogger of some note. We didnât get to meet her, instead spending time with a slightly Rockabilly Kiwi guy called Stacey.
Theyâre open Tuesday-Sunday, 5pm-late, and are walk in only. Theyâre also very popular with the locals - we saw plenty of clearly familiar faces come and go in the time we where there. They clearly have their regulars â there were small groups of friends gathering together, couples on boozy excursions and a French waiter from fancy French bar who was very keen to play us some French pop music.
How about the food? Itâs bar food, on a par with the kind of stuff youâd get in a good gastropub (Modern British, mainly?). We had possibly the best cheese toastie ever conceived by man (black truffle + some indescribable voodoo), but look out for pork and duck charcuterie boards, potted shrimps from Upton Smokery and more cheeseboards. Basically these guys really love cheese. They apparently run the odd supper club as well, though I canât tell you too much about that.
Vindinista opened in February 2015, and is an offshoot of the Park+Bridge wine store (âyour neighbourhood wine shopâ - even when your neighbourhood is 20 miles away...) just across the road. And the great news about THIS is that if you find a wine that you really enjoy at Vindinista, all you need to do is wander across the road and pick up a bottle...
I used a Zutter Clipboard Wood base sprayed with Glimmer Mist for my entry. The project I scraplifted was done on a breadboard or cheeseboard and made of wood, so I went with that as part of my scraplift. It wasn't a project designed to fit in a scrapbook. This is a 10 x 10 base, and I added some jewels since it will be hung as wall art, and used lots of Stickles and Glimmer Mist too, wish you could see it irl. Thanks for the fun challenge!!!

Curry and Presentation Night at Lytchett Minster Rugby Club Clubhouse. Curry was provided by the Royal Marines from Poole. One of the best curries one can have. From mild to hot and a couple in between with rice, onion bhajis and poppadom with a cheeseboard, crackers and Port afterwards. A great night out all way round.
