Wine
Radikon Saša 2019 Sivi Pinot Grigio
Roses, cranberry, tangerine and red pomelo lead a vivid, complex bouquet, joined by fresh herbs and a gentle tea-like note. The skin-contact palate is savoury and mineral, with bright acidity, fine tannic grip and a saline finish. Serve lightly chilled with grilled vegetables, charcuterie or richer seafood dishes.
Terralsole 2016 Rosso di Montalcino DOC
Remoissenet Père & Fils 2019 Givry Blanc
Blossom honey and citrus lead the nose, joined by lilies and dried apricot as the wine opens. The palate is juicy and rounded, with ripe stone fruit, a light vanilla nuance and enough fresh acidity to keep the texture lively. A gently savoury mineral note brings definition to the clean, composed finish.
Famille Dutraive 2021 Fleurie Les Déduits
Initially restrained on the nose, it opens with a broad aromatic shape and quietly deep fruit. The palate is lively and energetic, with a fine vibration of freshness carrying the flavour through a clean, poised finish. Elegant rather than showy, it suits roast chicken, charcuterie or mushroom dishes.
La Frenz 2021 Grand Total Reserve
Concentrated black fruit sits at the centre of this dry, full-bodied red, with tobacco and other savoury notes adding depth. Firm tannins give the palate a youthful, structured feel, so a generous decant is worthwhile if opened now. The finish is persistent and composed rather than heavy. Serve with roast beef, grilled lamb, braised short ribs or mature cheddar.
Chronos NV Brut Sparkling Wine
Green apple, pear and peach rise with lime zest, citrus and a light touch of toast. The palate is dry and approachable, its fine lively mousse carrying orchard and tropical fruit across a creamy frame. Bright acidity keeps the finish crisp, leaving a clean mineral note and lingering yuzu-like freshness.
Château Haut-Vigneau 2015 Blaye 1.5L (Magnum)
Matured raspberry, strawberry and blueberry lead a full, expressive nose, with mineral detail and restrained oak in support. The palate is warm, round and rich, yet soft in texture, carrying the fruit with an easy, composed feel. A long, silky finish completes the profile. Serve with roast beef, veal or game.
Osoyoos Larose 2020 Le Grand Vin
Opaque garnet, opening slowly on dark fruit. The palate is fuller-bodied, round and smooth, with medium acidity giving shape to the sweet black-fruit core. Vanilla adds warmth without obscuring the fruit, while firm tannins gather through the finish. Decant for an hour and serve with osso buco, roast lamb, savoury mushrooms or other slow-braised dishes.
Mirabel 2016 Pinot Noir
Cherry and raspberry lead an elegant, deeply flavoured nose, with spice and very subtle oak adding quiet complexity. The palate is fresh and finely shaped, pairing vivid fruit with silky texture and clear acidity. Those seductive flavours linger through a long, poised finish, with enough structure to reward further cellaring.
Tenuta di Castellaro 2019 Nero Ossidiana
Deep purple in the glass, with ripe black cherry, cassis, pomegranate and tomato leaf on the nose. The palate is full-bodied but fresh, shaped by a distinctive saline current and supple tannins. Dark fruit remains clear through the long, kirsch-toned finish, giving the wine both power and coastal brightness.
Chateau Maucoil 2019 Chateauneuf-du-Pape
Sun-warmed strawberry and red cherry lead, sharpened by cassis and blackberry and layered with brambly herbs. The palate is richly concentrated and penetrating, yet zesty and vibrant, with dark fruit, spice and savoury depth held by fine, tautly composed tannins. Generous in scale but balanced, finishing with freshness and precision.
Villa Oeiras NV 7-Year-Old Carcavelos
Clear amber-topaz in colour, with peach, apricot and sweet orange joined by dried stone fruit, honeysuckle and gentle toasted nuts. The palate is smooth and generous, balancing caramel and almond richness with vibrant acidity and a faint coastal salinity. Velvety without becoming heavy, it finishes clean, persistent and quietly complex, with fruit and nuttiness in equal measure.
Reverdito 2020 Barolo
Dried rose, ripe cherry and red berries lead a classic, lifted aroma, with fine spice and subtle balsamic notes adding depth. Balanced and refined on the palate, it is framed by silky tannins and a long, composed finish. Elegant rather than heavy, it rewards air and pairs naturally with roasts, braised meats, truffle or aged cheese.
Orofino 2020 Dourado
St. Katharina Vineyard 2018/2019 Traditional Method
Delicate honeysuckle and lemon tart open with orchard fruit, subtle brioche and a gentle chalky note. Fine bubbles give the palate energy, while extended lees ageing brings a creamy texture and savoury depth. Bright citrus acidity keeps the dry finish precise and lifted, balancing the richer pastry tones with quiet freshness and length.
Le Coste 2011 Bomb’Bulle Sparkling White
A delicate bead lifts bright citrus, sea-salt freshness and warm spice. The palate is light and energetic, with brisk acidity carrying lemon peel and a gently savoury, herbal edge. Fine bubbles keep the texture nimble, while the mineral, lightly oxidative finish remains dry, vivid and refreshingly unconventional.
California Cult Classics 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 2 Napa Valley
Juicy berries deepen toward blackberry, black plum and red cherry, layered with cedar, cinnamon, dark chocolate, graphite and black pepper. The palate begins lean and soft, then grows rounder and more generous with air. Medium acidity and building tannins frame the ripe fruit, leading to a long finish of plum, cedar and sweet spice.
Tenuta Santa Maria di Gaetano Bertani 2018 Torre Pieve Chardonnay 750 mL
White flowers and warm stone lead into pineapple, citrus and ripe orchard fruit. The palate is broad and creamy, with vanilla, hazelnut and a light buttery note held in check by balanced acidity and a savoury mineral edge. The texture is refined rather than heavy, allowing the fruit to remain clear. It finishes harmoniously, with citrus, nut and gentle oak lingering through a composed close.
