Selection
R&B Brewing Auld Nick Winter Ale Single Can
Sweet and full-bodied, with dark specialty malts giving the palate a broad, rounded foundation. Traditional East Kent hops provide a measured counterpoint, while the absence of added spice keeps the focus on malt depth and smooth texture. This is an English-style strong winter ale with warmth and complexity rather than overt seasoning. Serve cool with roast beef, aged cheddar, meat pie or sticky toffee pudding.
R&B Brewing Co. Dark Star Oatmeal Stout 4-Pack
Dark and complex, this oatmeal stout combines roasted coffee and cocoa with a rounded malt core. Oats lend a smooth, creamy texture, while chocolate-toned bitterness keeps the palate defined rather than sweet. A lively sparkle brings welcome refreshment to the richer flavours and carries the finish cleanly. Serve cool with smoked meats, beef stew, aged cheddar, chocolate cake or roasted mushrooms.
R&B Brewing Co. Space Coyote Spicy Dunkel
Rich malt stays at the centre, giving this dunkel a full-bodied shape while a measured spicy note adds contrast. The profile remains clean and well balanced, with classic dunkel character held ahead of the seasoning. A crisp finish prevents the darker malt from feeling heavy. Serve cool with bratwurst, roast pork, pretzels, mushroom dishes or aged Gouda.
R&B Brewing Hoppelganger IPA 4-Pack
Double dry hopping gives this American-style IPA an assertive, focused hop profile. The palate stays crisp and clean, with a dry finish keeping the beer composed rather than heavy. Its balance favours clarity and refreshment, while the added hop charge brings an aromatic edge through the close. Serve well chilled with grilled burgers, roast pork, pepperoni pizza or sharp cheddar.
R&B Brewing New Brighton Dry-Hopped Sour 4-Pack
Dry and effervescent, this sour beer draws aromatic lift from Vic Secret, Sabro and Amarillo hops. Pineapple and coconut tones meet a bright sweet-tart edge, keeping the fruit character vivid without losing refreshment. The finish is crisp, tangy and gently tropical. Serve cold with fish tacos, ceviche, grilled prawns, spicy fried chicken or fresh goat cheese.
R&B Brewing Spruce Tip IPA 650 mL
Hand-picked British Columbia Sitka spruce tips give this IPA a vivid forest character, layered with Chinook, Cascade, Citra, Centennial and Simcoe hops. Juicy citrus and fruit meet pine and resin across the palate, with a fresh evergreen lift carrying into the finish. The result is aromatic and distinctive while retaining the direct structure of an American-style IPA. Serve cold with grilled burgers, smoked pork, pepperoni pizza, sharp cheddar or rosemary-roasted vegetables.
Racines 2017 Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay
Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and light tropical notes create a creamy, open-knit profile with understated richness.

Fresh structure keeps the Chardonnay composed, while subtle breadth carries the flavours into a lingering, food-friendly finish.
Racines 2019 Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir 750 mL
Red currant, crushed strawberry and rose petal rise over forest floor, subtle spice and flinty minerality.

Tension and salinity keep the fruit precise, and the finish is long, detailed and composed. Serve with roast duck, wild mushroom risotto or seared tuna with soy and ginger.
Racines 2019 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 750 mL
Sweet dried cherry leads a savoury, aromatic profile, joined by mint, tobacco and sage. The palate is ethereal and finely drawn, with fresh acidity and a gentle tannic frame keeping the fruit lifted.

Racines NV Grand Reserve Sparkling Chardonnay
Toasted biscuit and layered yeast notes lead into spiced pear, bruised apple, cardamom and nutmeg.

Almond cream rounds the texture, while freshness and depth carry the wine through a long, composed finish.
Radeberger Pilsner
Clear honey-gold with a fine, lasting head, this German pilsner places clean malt beneath a pronounced hop presence. The palate is focused and refreshing, with lively bitterness carrying through a dry, tidy finish. Its crisp structure makes it a natural match for schnitzel, grilled sausages, roast chicken, fried fish, pretzels, young cheeses or other savoury snacks.
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.
Radio-Coteau 2015 Lemorel Zinfandel Sonoma Coast
Fresh red fruit leads with blood orange, rose petal, pomegranate and a cooling lift of mint. Racy and supple on the palate, the Zinfandel balances vivid fruit with floral and citrus detail rather than sheer weight. Fine energy carries the wine through a bright, expressive finish with excellent clarity and poise.
Raices 2023 Airen
Fresh and fruit-led, with a light herbal edge giving the palate definition. The style is direct and uncomplicated, favouring clean fruit and easy refreshment over weight or elaborate texture.

Raimat 2024 Albariño
White peach, star fruit and apricot fill a juicy, fresh palate. A pithy tangerine twist sharpens the finish, keeping the ripe fruit lively and clean. Mostly stainless-steel fermentation preserves clarity, while a small portion rested in wood with regular lees stirring for added texture. Bright, uncomplicated and versatile, it works especially well with fragrant curries, grilled prawns or citrus-dressed salads.
Raimund Prum 2022 Mosel Pinot Noir Rose
A pale salmon rosé with strawberry, wild raspberry and a light mineral note. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, balancing juicy red fruit with crisp acidity and a smooth, measured texture. Fresh but not slight on the finish, it works well with grilled salmon, summer vegetables, charcuterie or a simple plate of tomatoes and soft cheese.
Raineteau-Grimet NV Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Champagne
Light yellow with golden highlights, opening on lemon and grapefruit. The palate is direct and refreshing, with bright acidity shaping the clean citrus fruit and a fine, energetic profile. Made entirely from Chardonnay grown around Chamery, it closes with poised freshness, mineral clarity and the balanced length expected of a Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs.
