Selection
Fattoria La Vialla 2013 Casa Conforto Chianti Riserva
Mature and savoury, with wild cherry and blackberry joined by violet, cedar and star anise. The palate is dry and firmly structured, yet the fruit remains clear through the tannic frame. Earthy spice and gentle oak carry into a composed, lingering finish. Decant briefly and serve with roast lamb, grilled beef, mushroom ragù or aged pecorino.
Fattoria La Vialla 2016 Vin Santo del Chianti Occhio di Pernice Riserva
Dried cherry, fig and date open into walnut, caramel and warm baking spice. The palate is rich and softly viscous, with mature savoury depth balancing the concentrated sweetness. A fine line of acidity keeps the finish composed and persistent. Serve in a small pour with almond biscotti, aged pecorino or a simple nut tart.
Fattoria La Vialla 2021 Mussantino Selvatico Frizzante Extra Dry
Fresh berry fruit and rose petal lead with clear varietal character. The palate is smooth, lively and well balanced, its delicate perlage carrying red-fruit brightness and a gentle floral lift. A light touch of sweetness is kept in check by freshness, leaving the finish elegant, clean and easy-flowing rather than heavy.
Fauvin 2019 Chenas Cuvee Selene Magnum
Redcurrant, vanilla and peony meet in an intense, silky red with enough structure to carry its generous fruit. Partial ageing in new oak brings polish and complexity without obscuring the freshness of Gamay. Drink now or hold for several years, and serve with pigeon, feathered game, roast duck, mushroom dishes or a red-fruit tart for a more unexpected pairing.
Faxe Premium Lager Tall Can
Pale gold and clear, with a mild malt aroma supported by delicate floral hops. The palate is crisp and smooth, bringing gentle grain sweetness into a clean, lightly bitter frame. Its all-malt body remains rounded without feeling heavy, while bright carbonation keeps the finish refreshing and balanced. Serve well chilled in a lager glass, where the subtle malt and hop character can stay clear and direct.
Fee Brothers West Indian Orange Bitters
Lifted orange peel brings a bright citrus accent with enough concentrated bitterness to add shape and definition. The profile is aromatic and clean, enlivening a drink without overwhelming its base spirit. A few dashes sharpen an Old Fashioned, add fragrant depth to a Manhattan or bring a polished orange edge to a Martini. It is equally useful in alcohol-free mixed drinks when a small measure of focused citrus complexity is needed.
Felsina 2019 Berardenga Chianti Classico DOCG
Fento 2020 Tinto Rías Baixas
Tart red fruit and wild berries lead, edged by bramble, balsamic herbs and a subtle peppery note. The palate is light on its feet, with vivid acidity keeping the fruit direct and energetic. A savoury mineral line adds shape without heaviness, carrying the native red blend into a fresh, clean and gently rustic finish.
Fento 2021 Bico do Cabo Albariño Rías Baixas
Green apple and ripe peach lead this bright coastal white, with citrus peel and a light saline note adding definition. The palate is clean and fruit-forward, balancing refreshing acidity with a gently rounded texture. Crisp rather than austere, it carries orchard fruit and maritime freshness into a long, composed and delicately mineral finish.
Ferdinand’s Saar Dry Gin
Dried apricot and sage herbs lead an aromatic, finely fruity profile. The palate is creamy and composed, with juniper, fresh citrus and savoury botanical detail held in careful balance. A restrained infusion of Riesling adds softness and a subtle orchard-fruit lift rather than overt sweetness. The finish is clean and gently spiced, carrying fruit, herbs and a lightly savoury echo.
Ferdinand’s Saar Red Vermouth
Sour cherry, dark berries and red flowers lead a full, aromatic nose, with green walnut and savoury herbs adding depth. The palate is fruit-forward yet firmly structured, balancing Riesling freshness with plum, lingonberry and a distinctive walnut bitterness. Thyme, rosemary and warming spice build through the middle without obscuring the fruit. The finish is smooth, long and gently bitter. Serve lightly chilled over ice, or use it in a Martinez, Manhattan or richer Negroni variation.
Ferdinand’s Saar Rosé Vermouth
Riesling freshness frames a bright mix of rhubarb, vineyard peach and bitter orange, with cranberry and elderflower adding colour and lift. The palate is floral and fruit-led, balancing juicy red berry and citrus notes with measured herbal bitterness. Passion flower gives the middle a delicate aromatic touch, while the structure stays crisp and lightly sweet. The finish is clean, bittersweet and refreshing. Serve chilled over ice, topped with tonic or sparkling wine.
Feret Lambert 2018 Bordeaux Superieur 3L
Blackcurrant, black cherry and plum open with measured notes of cedar, graphite and dried herbs. The palate is medium to full in weight, with ripe fruit held by fine tannins and a fresh, savoury line. Balanced rather than heavy, it finishes with dark fruit and gentle spice. Give it air before serving with roast beef or lamb.
Fernet Hunter BC
Wild blueberry lends a dark, gently fruity note to an otherwise firmly herbal profile. Arnica and orris root bring earthy bitterness, while lavender gives the aroma a lifted floral edge. The palate is layered and aromatic rather than sweet, with the berry character rounding the bitter botanicals without obscuring them. A long, cooling, floral finish follows. Serve over ice, lengthen with soda, or use sparingly to deepen a spirit-forward cocktail.
Fernie Brewing High Point Tropical IPA
Bold tropical fruit leads across a full-bodied, hop-forward palate, with a slight sweetness giving the profile shape. Pahto and Simcoe hops, supported by HyperBoost, create a vivid balance between juicy fruit and a distinctly dank edge. Richly flavoured but composed, the beer carries its tropical character cleanly through the finish. Serve well chilled with jerk chicken, fish tacos, spicy noodles or sharp cheddar.
Ferran 2019 Pessac-Leognan
A fresh Bordeaux red with a full, versatile palate and an easy sense of balance. Merlot brings rounded fruit and breadth, while Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot add structure and savoury definition. The finish is composed rather than heavy, making it a dependable match for roast beef, grilled lamb, mushrooms or firm cheeses.
Ferrand Yuzu Late Harvest Dry Curaçao
Fragrant yuzu and mandarin lead the aroma, followed by vanilla, marzipan and a delicate floral note. The palate is rich and rounded, balancing sweet and sour citrus with candied depth, gentle spice and a lightly herbal edge. The finish remains bright despite the liqueur's pastry-like richness. Enjoy over ice, or use a measured pour in a Margarita, Sidecar or highball where the vivid citrus can remain clearly defined.
