Domaine A.F. Gros 2016 Échezeaux Grand Cru 3L
Dark cherry and blackberry are layered with violet, baking spice, cocoa and a restrained note of toasted oak. Concentrated by the small crop, the palate is full and precise, with lively acidity, fine tannins and a mineral, gently savoury finish. The generous fruit is already expressive, while the structure leaves room for further development. Decant with care and serve with duck, roast veal, mushrooms or a simply seasoned cut of beef.
Masseto 1999 3L
Deep and composed, with black plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, liquorice and candied violet opening into graphite, tobacco and a gentle earthy complexity. The palate is broad and concentrated, yet the texture remains polished, with supple tannins, balanced acidity and a long savoury finish. Extended ageing in new French oak has settled seamlessly into the fruit. A mature, structured Tuscan red for slow service alongside braised beef, roast lamb or aged hard cheese.
De Bernard 2023 Cuvée Prestige Millesimato
Fresh and lightly aromatic, with green apple, banana, white flowers and a gentle citrus note.

Le Raisin & l’Ange 2023 Hommage à Robert

Dard et Ribo 2018 Crozes-Hermitage Rouge

Iria Otero 2019 A Seara Castes Tintas Ribeiro
Light and finely drawn, with sour cherry, mulberry, sage and mint set against a smoky, crushed-stone note.

Fresh and versatile at the table, it suits shellfish, green salads, mild curries, fresh goat cheese or simply a well-chilled glass on its own.
Rubén Díaz La Sorpresa Tinaja Oxidativa
Deliberately oxidative and deeply savoury, with mature red fruit, dried herbs and a firm mineral line. High-altitude Grenache from Cebreros grows on decomposed granite and slate, then follows a solera-like tradition in tinajas and barrels, building concentration and complexity over time. Serve slightly cool with roast lamb, aged Manchego or mushroom-rich dishes.

Serve well chilled with fried chicken, fish tacos, burgers or a sharp aged cheddar.
Nine Locks Watermelon Blonde Ale
Light, crisp and lively, with fresh bread and grain notes from Canadian wheat and barley.

Parallel 49 Tropicool Smoothie Sour
Mango, guava and passionfruit fill the aroma with ripe tropical intensity.
