Selection
Grgich Hills Estate 2018 Chardonnay
Gatinois NV Aÿ Grand Cru Brut Rosé Champagne
Gramona 2017 Imperial Brut Corpinnat
Burrowing Owl 2010 Chardonnay Okanagan Valley
Fresh lemon, honeydew melon, peach and golden apple lead, with subtle toasted almond and butter adding breadth. The palate remains bright and composed, layering grapefruit zest, ripe nectarine and cantaloupe over crisp acidity. Nutty, lightly toasted tones carry through the lingering finish, making this a natural match for roast poultry or rich seafood.
Domaine de la Bongran 2000 Mâcon-Villages Cuvée Botrytis
Honeyed peach skin, apricot and tropical fruit unfold around a savoury thread of saffron-like spice. The palate is lush and silky, with notable sweetness and concentration, yet lively acidity keeps the generous texture balanced. A mineral undertone adds precision to the long, gently warming finish. Serve in a small pour with blue cheese, fruit tart or almond cake.
The Irishman Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Light fruit and a thread of liquorice lead into crumbly vanilla fudge. The palate is creamy and composed, with peaches, biscuit and almond carried by a supple malt texture. Bourbon and sherry cask maturation adds sweetness and restrained oak rather than weight. The finish is long and clean, leaving vanilla, orchard fruit, toasted almond and a dry oak echo.
The Temple Bar Signature Blend Irish Whiskey
Light fruit, honey and warm spice open with ripe red berries and plum. The palate is clean and softly sweet, bringing vanilla, orchard fruit and a gentle biscuity note into balance. Bourbon and port cask maturation gives the blend breadth without heaviness. The finish is smooth and lingering, returning to honey, wood, spice and a final touch of citrus.
Forty Creek Small Batch Reserve Canadian Whisky
Orange peel, perfume and mixed spice open over firm oak. The palate is delicate, combining plum, mint, vanilla and a lightly smoky edge with measured sweetness. Rye character brings floral lift rather than sharpness. The finish is the highlight: smooth and layered, with cranberry, maple, cocoa, baking spice and a distinctive thread of buttered bread.
Forty Creek Confederation Oak Reserve Canadian Whisky
Maple, raisin, vanilla and fig lead a layered aroma, followed by praline, banana, buttercream and orange blossom. The palate is full-bodied yet polished, balancing sweet oak with walnut, honeyed nuts, pepper and a light touch of smoke. Tight-grained oak brings firm structure without drying the fruit. The finish is long and warming, fading through white pepper, spice and dried dark fruit.
Dry Fly Washington Wheat Whiskey
Oak and apple rise first, with a light citrus note keeping the aroma fresh. The palate moves through toasted wheat, toffee and butterscotch, then picks up cinnamon, honey and a peppery edge. The texture is rounded but not soft, preserving grain character through the centre. The finish is lively and warming, leaving buttered toast, spice and a clean trace of oak.
Poplar Grove 2006 The Legacy
Poplar Grove 2007 The Legacy
Poplar Grove 2008 The Legacy
Dark cherry and blueberry lead, with leather, rosemary, cocoa and coffee adding mature savoury detail. The palate is balanced and composed, its acidity still lively and its tannins subtle but persistent. Restrained French oak gives shape without overwhelming the fruit. A short decant should be enough; serve with grilled steak, roast lamb, braised mushrooms or aged cheddar.
Poplar Grove 2009 The Legacy
Dark fruit leads, followed by herbal and savoury tones that now carry much of the wine's character. The palate remains fresh and structured, with lively acidity, firm tannins and enough fruit to keep the profile balanced. Complex and mature, it benefits from a brief decant rather than hours of air. Serve with roast beef, lamb, lentils or grilled mushrooms.
Little Engine 2016 Platinum Pinot Noir
Dark cherry and ripe forest fruit lead a concentrated, spice-laced profile, with oak adding depth without obscuring the fruit. The palate is fleshy and powerful, yet there is enough structure and freshness to keep it poised. Fine tannins carry the savoury, lingering finish. Decant briefly and serve with duck, lamb or earthy mushroom dishes.
Hewitson 2021 Old Garden Mourvedre
Blueberry, raspberry and black cherry rise with heady spice, mint and a measured touch of mocha. Plump and silky on the palate, it balances succulent fruit with bright acidity and soft, spicy tannins, while dark chocolate and herbs add savoury depth. Generous without heaviness, it pairs naturally with lamb shank, game or slow-cooked beef.
Lindores MCDXCIV Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Mellow vanilla and caramel lead an elegant, softly fruited aroma, followed by orchard fruit and sweet pear drops. The palate is silky and creamy, balancing dried fruit with bright citrus and a restrained touch of spice. Toffee-apple richness gives the whisky depth without heaviness, while the finish is delicate, gently sweet and persistent. Serve neat or with a little water.
Brezza 2012 Barolo Sarmassa 750 mL
Rose, red cherry and raspberry open with star anise, clove and a gentle earthy note. The palate is savoury and tightly shaped, balancing ripe black cherry with bright acidity, mineral detail and firm, fine-grained tannins. Hints of tar, cigar box and dried herbs emerge with air, bringing mature complexity without losing freshness. The finish is persistent and poised. Decant carefully and serve with braised beef, truffle dishes or aged hard cheese.
Selvapiana 2022 Chianti Rufina Magnum
Fresh red berries and dusky cherry open with citrus peel, hibiscus and a faint smoky-earthy note. The palate is medium-bodied and bright, with crisp acidity, dusty tannins and a fine, energetic shape. Red fruit remains central as loam and gentle wood smoke emerge toward a lingering, savoury finish. Serve with tomato-braised meats, grilled sausages, mushroom pasta or firm Tuscan cheese.
