Wine
Reverdito 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo Simane
Cherry and raspberry rise with rose petals and delicate spice on a bright, aromatic nose. The palate is fresh and balanced, with refined tannins giving the red fruit a graceful frame. Light on its feet yet persistent through the finish, it is an elegant match for cured meats, pasta, roast poultry or semi-aged cheese.
Les Clos de Paulilles Banyuls Cap Béar
Rich cherry and blackberry jam lead a full, sweet profile, with currant and dried-fruit tones adding mature depth. The palate is broad and warming, shaped by ripe Grenache fruit and a gently savoury, tawny edge. Long and composed, it finishes with lingering raisin and dark-fruit notes. A classic partner for dark chocolate, toasted nuts or blue cheese.
Domaine d’Aupilhac 2022 Lou Maset Languedoc Rouge 750 mL
Cherry, raspberry and blackberry lead the documented fruit profile, joined by savoury herbs. The palate is medium-full and juicy, with a mineral backbone. A second exact record describes the wine as robust, fruity and refreshing, with fullness, silky tannins and a spicy finish. Cinsault and Grenache are the two varieties consistently supported by the retained exact-vintage evidence.
Revel The Spot You Told Me About Sweet Vermouth
Roses, cherries and apple blossom lead a fragrant, rosé-coloured aperitif. The palate combines ripe red fruit with crabapple brightness, while blue spruce, white pine and willow bark add cool forest character and gentle bitterness. Yarrow brings a sweet citrus note, balanced by a fine astringency that keeps the sweetness composed. The finish is floral, fresh and quietly savoury. Serve chilled on its own, over a large cube, or use it as the aromatic centre of a wet Martini.
Van Niekerk 2024 Goue Rif Overberg
Les Vignes d’Adelie 2023 Vire-Clesse
An intense nose brings roasted almond, mocha and gently toasted notes. The palate is powerful and fleshy, with mirabelle plum and candied-grape richness carried by ample texture. Roasted nuances return through the mid-palate, while the wine's weight and concentration settle into a long, broad and generous finish.
Joie 2023 En Famille Reserve Pinot Meunier
Delicate yet deeply layered, with candied strawberry and fresh plum at the centre. Purple flowers add perfume, while cinnamon and clove bring warm spice before a lift of blood orange. The aromatic range moves easily from ripe fruit to floral and citrus notes, giving this uncommon red a distinctive, finely drawn profile.
Vista D’Oro NV Pinot Noix
Dry and distinctly savoury, this sherry-like specialty wine brings Pinot Noir together with green walnut husks from the estate. The palate is gently vinous rather than overtly fruity, with layered walnut depth and a firm, food-friendly finish. Its unusual balance of wine and nuts makes it particularly suited to cheese, charcuterie or pâté.
Mayhem 2018 Fortified Gewürztraminer
Nutty caramel and candied fruit lead a concentrated, oxidative nose, with warm spice and tropical tones adding detail. The palate is rich and warming, bringing ginger and cinnamon into balance with the preserved-fruit sweetness. Barrel-aged depth carries through the finish, leaving a layered echo of caramel, spice and candied fruit.
Solvero 2020 Pinot Noir
Dark cherry and ripe raspberry open with earthy depth and a quiet green-tea note. The palate is delicate yet expressive, with fresh acidity and a silky texture carrying the red fruit cleanly. Fine savoury detail builds through an elegant finish, making it a polished match for roast duck, salmon or mushroom risotto.
Orofino 2021 PTG
Pentage 2019 Roussanne Marsanne Viognier
Fox & Archer 2022 3 Blocks Pinot Noir Okanagan Valley
Ripe cherry and red currant lead, joined by liquorice, graphite and earthy spice. The palate is poised and savoury, with whole-cluster fermentation bringing aromatic lift and fine structure. Eleven months in predominantly neutral French oak preserves the fruit while adding quiet depth, leading to an unfiltered finish of mineral and woodland tones.
Robert Keenan Winery 2022 Chardonnay Spring Mountain District
Citrus, ripe pear and green apple lead, with white peach emerging as the wine opens. Lees ageing brings gentle richness and complexity, while the absence of malolactic fermentation preserves a crisp, focused line. A touch of toast returns on the medium-bodied finish. Serve moderately chilled with roast chicken, grilled halibut, crab cakes or creamy vegetable dishes.
Mythology 2021 Malbec
Floral aromas open into raspberry and red currant, with a ripe, generous character from the outset. Blueberry, violet, leather and cocoa build across the palate, framed by a firm, dry grip. The finish is long and structured without losing the fruit's brightness. Serve with lamb burgers, grilled steak or smoky vegetables.
Sage Hills 2022 Red Blend
Ripe Bing cherry, plum and blackberry lead, with liquorice adding a darker, savoury accent. Wild fermentation in stainless steel preserves clarity across the three-variety blend, while 24 months on lees in neutral barrels brings measured texture. Unfined and unfiltered, the palate closes with delicate, soft tannins and a composed, naturally expressive finish.
La Frenz 2025 Alexandria
Jasmine, fresh mango and cantaloupe rise first, followed by white peach, Asian pear and a delicate Turkish-delight note. The palate is fresh, flamboyant and softly off dry, with a luscious texture carried by enough acidity to stay elegant. Honey lingers through the generous finish. Serve well chilled with Thai dishes, fruit-led salads or soft cheese.
Domaine Romain & Simon Pillot 2023 Bourgogne Rouge
Medici Ermete NV Unique Metodo Classico Rosé Brut
Wild strawberry and crushed raspberry meet soft florals and a bright hint of citrus. Fine persistent bubbles give the palate a creamy lift, while fresh acidity keeps the delicate red fruit precise. Dry, taut and harmonious, it closes with restrained bread-crust complexity and a clean, elegant finish.
