The idea for LPO came from comedian Matt Okine, who, after returning to Brisbane from Sydney, found it difficult to source quality wine in his local area. To bring his vision to life, he teamed up with Dan Wilson, a longtime friend with experience running wine bars in London. Together, they set out to create a space where locals could not only buy wine but also enjoy a casual tasting experience.
Unlike a standard bottle shop, LPO operates under a licence that allows it to sell wine by the glass, giving customers the chance to sample different varieties before making a purchase. The store keeps a rotating selection of four whites and four reds available for tasting, ensuring there is always something new to discover.
The focus is on making good wine approachable and affordable. Customers can expect to find high-quality bottles at a range of price points, with some available for under $20. The goal is to create a space that feels welcoming and accessible, whether someone is stopping by for a special occasion or picking up a bottle to enjoy at home.

The store’s name, LPO, is a nod to the building’s history as a Local Post Office, adding a touch of character to the venture. Open from Wednesday to Sunday, 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., LPO Neighbourhood Wine Store is set to become a go-to spot for wine lovers in Tarragindi looking for a mix of quality, affordability, and community spirit.
