I'm off to Sin City later this month. Can any Sydneysiders tell me if there is any good wine/food specialist bookshops in the cbd inner area?

Try Kinokuniya. They don't so much specialise in food/wine, but just seem to have every book known to man (except for the one I was looking for when I was there!).

They are pretty much across the road from the Queen Victoria Building in the Citigroup building.

EDIT: See below

I'll assume you are aware of Ultimo Wine Centre. Their range of wine related books is the best one I know of. Dymocks in George Street have been running signings of Halliday's Companion for a few years now, so they should have a few other wine books.

My mistake... I thought you were looking for a bookshop with wine rather than about it.

Regardless, I still recommend Berkelouw Books (http://berkelouw.com.au/) to answer your question... The one in Paddington is the closest to the CBD. They've listed 1000 odd books on food & wine amongst endless other topics (and lots of rare, antique and specialty books - many of which are kept in storage outside of Sydney in the southern highlands).

And of course ........ as mistakenly mentioned previously, their jazz/wine bar (http://www.berkelouwwinebar.com.au/) is very nice if you venture out to the Leichardt store.

Cheers
