Wine
Las Moradas De San Martin 2019 Albillo
A quietly distinctive Spanish white from high-elevation vineyards, with soft citrus, wildflowers, dried herbs and chamomile. The palate has creamy texture and nutty almond-skin detail, held in check by a subtle saline edge and a firm stony backbone. Understated but expressive through the finish, it suits roast poultry, grilled fish, almonds or vegetable dishes with earthy herbs.
Pietradolce 2022 Etna Bianco
Lemon verbena, sage and salted pistachio create a delicate, distinctly volcanic aroma. The palate is sleek and bone-dry, driven by racy acidity and a firm linear precision that keeps the citrus and herbal notes finely drawn. Mineral and quietly savoury through the finish, it is a polished match for oysters, lobster salad or simply grilled fish.
Rocca di Montegrossi 2018 Geremia Toscana IGT
Sour cherry, currant and wild berries open with vanilla, licorice and dark chocolate. Full and structured, the palate layers blueberry, blackberry, lavender and scorched earth over lively acidity and velvety tannins. Freshness keeps the depth controlled, while savoury herbs and warm spice extend the finish. Serve with roast lamb, braised beef or porcini.
Luccarelli 2023 Primitivo Puglia IGT
Deep ruby with violet highlights, opening on generous red fruit. The palate is full and soft, with firm but rounded tannins giving shape to the ripe fruit. A harmonious balance of richness and structure keeps the wine approachable, while a lightly savoury finish adds definition. Serve with slow-cooked tomato sauces, grilled sausages or roast lamb.
Violet Hill 2021 Pinot Noir
A fragrant Oregon Pinot Noir with rose petal, button mushroom and wild raspberry. The palate is medium-bodied, juicy and transparent, with sweet red-berry fruit supported by fine tannins and fresh acidity. Pretty but not slight, it finishes with gentle savoury detail and works well with salmon, roast poultry, mushrooms or simply grilled pork.
Pavette 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon
Scout Vineyard NV Rosé
Grapefruit, strawberry tea and raspberry pastry lead a complex, savoury profile. The palate is aromatic and gently textured, with spice and a fine tannic grip from skin contact balanced by ripe, rounded fruit. Seven months on the lees add breadth without dulling the freshness. Serve lightly chilled with grilled vegetables, salmon, charcuterie or dishes carrying gentle heat.
Roches Bleues 2019 Cote Brouilly Foudre
On the nose you'll find delightful aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, characteristic of Gamay, the grape variety used in Beaujolais wines. Light floral notes of violet and iris add complexity to the aromatic profile. Subtle hints of spice, such as white pepper or clove, may also be present, contributing to the wine's aromatic allure. The palate is marked by a juicy and lively acidity that gives the wine its refreshing quality. Expect a burst of red fruit flavors, with ripe cherry and raspberry dominating the forefront.
Springfield Estate 2022 Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon
A generous Cabernet Sauvignon, opening on cassis, blackcurrant and cranberry with warm leather, fine spice and discreet cedar. The palate is full and juicy, with plush dark fruit carried by a velvety texture and notably soft tannins. Subtle walnut skin and cigar-box detail add savoury complexity, leading to a long, smooth and composed finish.
Springfield Estate 2020 Méthode Ancienne Chardonnay
A classically styled Chardonnay, fermented with wild yeast in French oak, with lime and sweet orange leading into golden apple, restrained tropical fruit and toast. Broad and creamy without losing definition, the palate gathers citrus oil and a fine stony note around a firm line of freshness. Richness and mineral lift remain beautifully balanced through the composed finish.
Fonseca NV Ruby Port
Black cherry and cassis fill the nose, joined by ripe plum and a subtle floral note. Full-bodied and sweet without losing shape, the palate carries dark berry fruit through velvety texture and firm, well-integrated tannins. Freshness keeps the richness composed, leading to a long, generous and fruit-driven finish.
Vignobles Günther-Chéreau 2022 Château de la Gravelle Muscadet-Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie
Domaine des Escaravailles 2019 Le Ventabren Cairanne
Redcurrant and mixed berries lead, followed by black cherry, liquorice, menthol and white pepper. The palate is round, full-bodied and firmly structured, with dark plum, black raspberry and sweet spice supported by confident tannins. A savoury thread of dried herbs and earth carries the powerful fruit into a long, composed finish.
Domaine de Marcoux 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Dark cherry, cassis and wild berries open with dried thyme, black pepper and violet. Full-bodied yet never heavy, the palate layers ripe fruit over fine, firm tannins and a fleshy mid-palate. Garrigue, tapenade and graphite bring savoury complexity, extending through a long, polished and warmly spiced finish.
Delamotte NV Brut Champagne
Fresh apple, pear and citrus are layered with brioche and warm bread on a finely yeasty nose. The palate brings freshness and roundness together, with lively bubbles, clean fruit and a subtle creamy breadth. Balanced and elegant through the persistent finish, it is equally suited to an aperitif, shellfish, gougères or roast poultry.
Rabasse Charavin 2017 Côtes du Rhône Villages Plan de Dieu
Robust and sun-warmed, with blackberry, black plum and black cherry layered with Provençal herbs, cracked pepper, liquorice and dried earth. The palate is full and rounded, its ripe dark fruit framed by firm tannins, savoury spice and a stony mineral pull. A warm, persistent finish makes it a natural match for grilled lamb, braised beef, sausages or hard cheese.
Billaud-Simon 2020/21 Tete D’Or
A refined, deeply expressive Chablis cuvée showing layered aromas of lemon oil, ripe green apple, and white peach interwoven with crushed oyster shell, flint, and subtle floral lift. The palate is concentrated yet precise, with driving acidity and a creamy, chalk-etched texture that balances its richer core of citrus and orchard fruit. Long and linear on the finish, delivering persistent saline minerality and smoky stone depth that reflect both the intensity and finesse of top-tier Billaud-Simon fruit selection.
Reverdito 2024 Langhe Nascetta
Yellow apple, white peach and pink grapefruit open with a measured floral lift. Rich and persistent on the palate, the wine carries its fruit with good acidity and freshness rather than weight. A lightly saline, savoury edge gives the finish definition and length. Serve with vitello tonnato, grilled trout, vegetable risotto or fresh cheeses.
Marcoux 2016/23 Chateauneuf Du Pape VV
A benchmark old-vine Grenache cuvée showing soaring aromatics of kirsch, raspberry, and crushed cherry layered with rose petal, spice, and a subtle cocoa nuance. The palate is rich yet remarkably poised, with silken texture, fine-grained tannins, and a core of pure, ripe red fruit that balances power with elegance. Exceptionally long and refined on the finish, with a signature sense of purity and perfume that underscores its age-worthiness.
Calliope 2024 Pinot Gris
A bright Canadian Pinot Gris with juicy pear, honeysuckle and honeydew melon on the nose.
