Reds
2023 Pinot Nero, Kaltern - £21/bottle (4 available)
The grapes are ground in a northerly region of Italy called Trentino Alto Adige, north of Verona. A fantastic region for to grow a variety of grapes, but particularly good at Pinot Noir. This has intense cherry, red apple and wild berries, with a good chunk of cranberries in there too. The palate is medium bodied with a velvety texture and a long, fresh finish.
2024 Valpolicella, Allegrini - £14.50/bottle (10 available)
The bright ruby colour to the wine makes it pop from the glass. On the nose it shows aromas of cherries and plums, with black pepper and herbs. A powerful, smooth Valpolicella accompanied by crisp acidity and a long, fresh finish. One of my favourite wines on the list.
2018 Barbaresco, Produtorri del Barbaresco - £30/bottle (4 available)
A fantastic producer who consistently delivers exceptional wines vintage to vintage. Red berries, Mushroom and dried leafy herbs, along with orange peel and sweet spices. A great wine to pair with food but equally good with salty snacks.
2019 Chianti Classico, Fontodi – £30/bottle (8 available)
A mature, rich Chianti Classico from a highly regarded producer. Exceptional length and class for the price.
2020 Silare 18, Casadei – £43/bottle (1 available - more available, just ask for details)
The top cuvée from a Tuscan winery near Bolgheri, made from 100% Cabernet Franc. Powerful, with big fruit and fantastic length. Ideal with ragù, stews, or lasagne. Organic
2022 Chateauneuf-du-pape, Le Vieux Donjon – £39/bottle (Sold out)
A very sexy Chateauneuf-du-Pape. This producer focuses on producing wines that express the excellent fruit produced on the estate, with minimal Oak (not new either) giving a pure and precise wine that is really special. This will pair particularly well with more delicate Game and Lamb cuts.
2016 Château Marsau, Cotes de Francs – £27/bottle (1 available)
This 100% Merlot wine, dubbed the Petrus of Cotes de Francs, is an absolute banger. The nose and palate are like diving into a hedgerow, with tonnes of black and red berry fruits. Nice firm tannins and racy acidity. The age this wine has, means it’s ready to go immediately.
2021 Château Laroque, Grand Cru Classé, St Émilion – £25/bottle (12 available OWC)
Punchy dark fruit, tobacco, and star anise. Young but already excellent after a few hours’ aeration. A superb right bank option.
2021 Les Cruzelles, Lalande de Pomerol, Denis Durantou - £20/bottle (Sold out)
Deep ruby colour with aromatic depths. Toasted oak, Liquorice, Tobacco, Cocoa bean, Blueberry and hints of Blackberry. Delicate and well structured. Superb for the money.
2020 Chateau Marjosse, Bordeaux AOC - £14/bottle (24+ available)
For the money, this is one of my proudest finds! For lovers of the slightly ‘old school’ Bordeaux style, this one’s for you. A merlot-dominant blend, with a little Cabernet Sauv, Cab Franc and Malbec, it shows rich red plum, blackberry and mulberries, with pleasant levels of Bay and iron flavours. If you’re interested in ‘points’ this received 94/100 from Lisa Porretti-Brown. A true Bargain!
2024 Beaujolais Village Rouge, Dominque Morel - £14/bottle (1 available)
This is a cracking springtime wine. Light ruby in the glass. The nose boasts bright aromas of crunchy red fruits and violets. On the palate, this wine has superb structure, with grainy tannins, concentrated red fruit flavours and a racy acidity that lifts the finish.

Whites
2023 La Rocca Soave, Peiropan - £33/bottle (1 available)
This is a truly exceptional wine. Golden yellow in the glass with a wonderful perfumed nose of exotic fruits and nuttiness, which runs through into the palate. A long and rich palate, with a little spiciness towards the end. If you like richer Chardonnays, please give this a try, it’ll be to your liking.
2024 I Frati, Lugana - £20/bottle (1 available - More coming soon)
I rediscovered this wine whilst skiing in Obergurl recently. I remember tasting for the first time back in my London days and loving it then, but it hadn’t popped up on my radar again until now. The wine is rich but well-balanced, fruit-forward but not over the top, and the acidity is spot on. Lugana at its best!
2024 Gruner Veltliner, Kamptal, Liomer - £17/bottle (10 avaialble)
A hugely popular Grüner from my recent tasting. The grapes were hand-harvested, picking only the best and ripest for the wine. Incredible layers of flavour, including lemon and pineapple, with ginger and white pepper spiciness and lime zest on the end. It also looks sexy as hell!
2019 Chassagne-Montrachet, Les Caillerets, Jean Noel Gagnard - £40/half bottle (12 available)
One of the absolute best estates in Chassagne-Montrachet is run by winemaker and only child, Caroline Lestimé. No chemical fertilisers, herbicides or pesticides are used, with the utmost respect given toward the environment. Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets reveals marvellous fruit purity balanced with subtle melted butter and cream notes on a long, richly textured finish. Not cheap, but worth every penny!
2024 Beaujolais Blanc, Dominique Morel – £15.50/bottle (Sold out - more coming soon)
Excellent value. 100% Chardonnay with lovely stone fruit and pineapple notes. Lees ageing adds a touch of richness, while the absence of oak keeps it fresh and light. Delicious!
2024 Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, NZ – £18.50/bottle (18 available)
Produced by Kevin Judd (formerly Cloudy Bay). Fresh, citrus-driven, with mouth-watering acidity and a long finish. Excellent value under £20.
2023 Volratz Rheingau Riesling Trocken, Schloss Vollards, Germany - £15.50/bottle (Sold out - more available on request)
One of the oldest wine estates in Germany. This refreshing dry style of Riesling shows Citrus fruits, as well as apricot and grapefruit. A lovely textural minerality to this wine too. Great with Asian dishes, nibbles or on its own.
Rose
2025 Le Poussin Rose, Sacha Lichine - £12.50/bottle (24+ available)
Hands down the crowd favourite. This is a fabulous Rose, especially for the money. Produced by the mastermind behind Whispering Angel. Strawberries and Cream, lovely fresh Melon and a touch of Salt - Summer in a glass. (12.5% ABV)
Champagne
Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve - £50/bottle (2 available)
This is a wonderful non-vintage champagne. 50% reserve wines go into the blend, giving the wine a fantastic richness. Brioche and roasted nuttiness, classic to the style, along with ripe Mango, Apricot and Victoria Plums. Exceptional wine for the money.
Whisky
POIT DHUBH 8 YEAR OLD (gift boxed) - Unchill-filtered, Gaelic Whisky - £42/bottle (1 available)
Beautifully balanced and subtly smoky Gaelic style whisky. The alcohol level is 43%, which retains a lovely oiliness to the spirit. This is how whisky used to taste, before the modern style took over. Worth a try!
Merch
