Welcome
to our Wine List
We
have updated our wine list for 2008 although it has taken a few months to
re-taste many of the existing wines alongside proposed new wines,
we feel we now have a wine list with something for everyones
palate.
Amongst
the white wines we have retained some classic French wines like the Sancerre
and the Chablis both of which are also available in half bottles and we have
embraced
The
reds feature in much the same way, with single varietal
wines such as the superb Peter Lehman Shiraz (it must be good we chose it for
our wedding day ), and the Californian Zinfandel
Ironstone. These are contrasted by a
clever selection of wines from some of the finest wine producing areas of
France and a classic Rioja from
To
celebrate a special occasion we have a good range of reasonably price
What
better way to round off your dining experience than with a good desert wine our
selection includes full bottles half bottles and even the option of one by the
glass so there really is no excuse.
We
now offer ten wines by the glass, which is great if you all prefer something
different. The additions to our house
wines include a Riesling from Germany for those looking for something a little
sweeter, a French Cabernet Sauvignon to bring a little old world back to our
house reds, and a simply delicious Argentinean Pinot Noir. Enjoy!
