White Wines

5. Piesporter Michelsberg, Otto Pressler, 2002 (Germany) £10.95
Flowery with ample refreshing flavours and an enjoyable hint of sweetness. A fine example for palates seeking an off-dry white wine.

6. Pinot Grigio, Gaudio, NV (Italy) £11.25
A distinguished example of its style — crisp freshness in tune with lingering citrus flavours make it eminently suited to less demanding fish dishes or the new breed of ‘fusion salads’.

7. Chenin Blanc, MilIberg Cellars, Franschoek Vineyards, 2004 (South Africa) £12.25
Refreshes the palate with crisp well balanced dryness containing hints of apples and kiwi fruit. Stands up beautifully to lighter white meat or fish dishes.

8. Chardonnay, Bin 7000, McGuigan, 2002 (Australia) Half £9.95 Bottle £15.50
All that one has come to expect from our antipodean cousins’ Chardonnays—a plethora of tropical fruits on the nose followed by a fresh, full, buttery palate.

9. Gewurztraminer/Riesling, Black Label, 2003 (Australia) £15.25
Tantalise the taste buds with this exciting, refreshing blend of grapes to match fusion tastes.

10. Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, Blenheim Point, 2002 (New Zealand) £19.95
New Zealand’s emergence in the world market has been largely due to the incredible quality of its dry Sauvignon wines. Both weight and vivacious, gooseberry fruit linger on the tongue and will tackle gently spiced dishes.

11. Chablis, La Larme d’Or, Quinson, 2002 (France) £18.75
Well and truly in traditional in style being refreshingly fruity and smooth yet with a touch of classical flint. A perfect accompaniment to a host of seafood dishes.

12. Sancerre, Domaine de Clairneaux, 2003 (France) Half £11.50 Bottle £21.50
Classic hints of gooseberry and a long, crisp finish make it a splendid foil for our locally caught fish, goats cheese or richly sauced chicken dishes.

Red Wines

12. Pinotage / Cinsault, Marimba, 2003 (South Africa) £11.95
Stunning, fruit driven wine with a soft, all consuming taste from the Western Cape. A very reliable all-rounder for most meat dishes.

13. Merlot, Santa Carolina, 2003 (Chile) £13.50
The winery has a pedigree dating back to 1875 and includes its main winery as a national monument. This fine example of the American designer grape variety is full, round and soft to the taste. Amicably partners grilled meat dishes.

14. Salice Salentino, Rocca, 2002 (Italy) £12.95
Its ethereal aroma, with gentle, spicy notes, leads to a full-flavoured taste which ideally matches with richer meat or pasta dishes.

15. C6tes-du-Rhone, Cuvee Personelle, Pascal, 1995 (France) Half £8.95 Bottle £15.25
A big quality version of peppery, broad and mature fruit flavours. Stands up wonderfully to rich sauces.

16. Shiraz, Weighbridge, Peter Lehmann, 2001 (Australia) £15.95
Brimful of fruit with overtones of blueberry, cranberry and vanilla. A perfect partner for a host of beef or lamb based cuisine.

17. Zinfandel, Jackson Downs, 2002 (USA) £15.95
Spiced, berry flavours and soft, oak, complexity. An excellent companion to hearty meat dishes.

18. Rioja Crianza, El Goto 2000, (Spain) £17.25
A mature wine backed by inviting, warm touches of vanilla. Made entirely from the Tempranillo grape. Enjoy it with food cooked in a northern Mediterranean Style.

19. Gigondas, Vieilles Vignes, Domaine du Grand Montmirail, 1997 (France) £22.50
As awe inspiring as the spectacular Alpine outcrop of the Dentelles de Montmirail below which the old vines are grown. It smacks of red-fruits and spices with a wonderful harmony of roundness and power which would give many a Châteauneuf-du-Pape a run for its money.

Champagne & Sparkling Wines

Clean & simple sparkler, with subtle peach and brioche on the palate

21. Champagne, Montaudon NV (France) Half £17.50 Bottle £29.95
