White Wines

White	125 ml	Bottle
Marche Bianco (Dry) - Italy	2.50	13.25
A crisp and clean, apple-fresh little Italian number.
Sautarel (Medium) - France	2.60	14.75
A soft fruity French number.
Crisp, dry and refreshing
Les Collines Blanche, Domaine Brochard, Sancerre - France		26.75
A classical Sancerre; fresh and fragrant fruit with overtones of gooseberries and with a bright refreshing acidity.
Man Vintners, Chenin Blanc - South Africa	3.30	18.95
Bold and gutsy wine from one on the best producers in S.Africa. A very moreish wine, great as a third date wine, but even better as a thirty-third date wine.
Le Poesie, Pinot Grigio - Italy	3.00	17.50
With floral aromas, citrus fruit flavours and a hint of nuttiness this wine is definitely one of our faves.
Crusan Colombard Sauvignon Blanc - France	2.70	14.95
This fresh, lively Colombard-Sauvignon Blanc is aromatic with hints of gooseberry. A lovely quaffable wine.
Le Vele, Verdicchio Castelli de Jesi, Marche - Italy		19.95
Summertime pleasure - like standing under a waterfall on a hot day.
Fruity, aromatic and tropical
3 Stones, Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough - New Zealand	4.50	24.95
A classic Marlborough Sauvignon, with complex flavours of asparagus, grass and nettles and a finish reminiscent of bungee jumping into a gooseberry bush.
Ceps du Sud, Viognier - France		18.50
A great example of this succulent grape variety that thrives under the Mediterranean sun. Apricots on buttered toast with a touch of almond. Sounds odd but it's delicious.
Pfaffenheim Gewurztraminer, Alsace - France		19.95
Gewurztraminer literally means 'spicy grape' and if your nose works at all, you'll see why.
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon blanc, Marlborough - New Zealand		36.50
The best of the best - this is the icon of New Zealand Sauvignons and sets the standards by which all others are judged, and justly so.
Donnhoff QbA, Riesling - Germany		24.95
Made by the main man for Riesling's. This QbAis a medium-sweet style, for medium-sweet people .
Gutes Domtal, Niersteiner, Moselland - Germany		15.75
This is a classic, friendly, off-dry, luscious and succulent quaffer which just drips fruit.
Didier Champalou Vouvray, Loire - France		22.50
A lovely summer wine with subtle hints of apricots and peaches. This is fantastic with shellfish, creamy pasta dishes or just on its own with friends.
Clean yet rounded
Casa la Joya, Chardonnay, Colchagua - Chile	3.20	18.50
Fresh, zesty and well balanced, on account of the 'no oak barrel within 100 yards' policy of the wine.
Les Carisannes Sauvignon Blanc - France	3.10	18.45
This is a classy bottle of wine with none of the trappings of French wine snobbery. A real glugger. Un autre, Monsieur Barman.
Jean Pabiot, Pouilly Fumé, Loire - France		25.95
Oh this is good, everything you've ever wanted from Pouilly Fumé. Smokey, grassy, flinty notes with touches of asparagus and a hint of lime.
Knappstein Riesling, Clare Valley - Australia		19.95
This is dry Riesling to a T. Lifted citrus flavours with a delicate floral aroma and a long finish. Hits the nail on the head.
Rich and Full
Francoise Chauvenet Grandes Vignes, Chablis, Burgundy - France		29.95
An elegant and refined wine from Burgundy that is everything you want it to be.
Gavi di Gavi, Cristina Ascheri , Piedmont - Italy		28.50
Whilst being at the more expensive end of the scale, this is an exceptional wine, arguably our favourite wine on the list, with fascinating gentle fruit flavours from the Cortese grape.
Pouilly Fuisse La Roche, Vielles Vignes, Burgundy - France		39.95
A stunning white Burgundy, with delicious rich, buttery Chardonnay flavours enhanced by being matured in new oak. Classic stuff.
Tin Roof, Chardonnay - Australia	2.90	16.50
For lovers of Aussie Chardy, this has all the buttery oak character you'd expect, but without the cloying thickness that make some of its rivals difficult.
Fizzy Stuff
Tanners Cava Brut - Spain		22.50
This is a truly delicious quaffing sparkler which is just right for, well, almost any occasion really, even if it's just an afternoon off.
Veuve Cliquot, Champagne - France		50.00
If wine were shoes, this would be a dancing slipper. This is a Grande Marque Champagne with a toasty, yeasty finish, and it deserves its nomenclature.
Astoria, Prosecco, Trentino - Italy	6.95	21.95
Elegant, clean cut and fruity, this has wonderful fruit aromas and flavours with refreshing acidity and a soft, gentle finish. A wine that turns any occasion into a celebration.
Veuve Cliquot Rosé, Champagne - France		67.50
So, so, so good.

Red Wines

Red	125 ml	Bottle
Marche Sangiovese - Italy	2.50	13.25
Soft, fruity and easy drinking Italian red wine.
Light and Juicy
Berri Estate, Merlot - Australia	3.00	17.50
Intense fruit and gentle tannins give this New Worlder a lovely light finish.
George Du Boeuf, Fleurie - France		27.95
Fleurie stands for 'flowery'. It perfectly describes this wine which is abundant with spring flowers, while remaining charming and elegant. One of the most famous of the ten Beaujolais Crus.
Terre di Ginestra, Cabernet Franc, Sicily		18.75
A bit of an oddity we found and loved at a tasting some months ago. Typically crunchy and leafy yet layered with soft fruits, bergamot and a touch of barrel ageing. Definately, definately worth a punt.
Escale, Pinot Noir, Vin de Pays d'Oc - France	3.20	18.25
A brilliant little wine. It's not fine Burgundy, but it's well made and shows really good fruit with ripe cherries and touches of vanilla tobacco. Pinot lovers everywhere, come and have a go.
Le Paz, Merlot - Chile	3.00	17.50
A wine we loved at our last tasting, this has plums, cherries and blackberries a-plenty.
Clos de Cazaux, Vacqueyras - France		33.95
Elegant southern Rhõne red along the lines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Warm and Spicy
Casa de Piedra, Cabernet Sauvignon - Chile	2.90	16.50
This is excellent value as a happy go lucky glugger, excellent as a breakfast wine, or indeed at any time when a good time is needed.
Peter Lehman 'My Word is my Bond', Shiraz, Barossa - Australia	3.10	18.50
Award winning wine - rich with dry notes and some hints of spice and dark berry fruits.
Painter's Bridge, Zinfandel, California - USA		19.95
Finally a Zinfandel that is not overly chaptalised and left too long in the barrel. Loads of red fruit characters are on full show with a subtle blend of Shiraz to give it a spicy pepperiness.
Marquis de Calado, Tempranillo - Spain	2.80	15.75
Lovely little number which is very easy drinking, with some spice on the tongue and a certain richness courtesyof the hot Spanish sun.
Tarquino, Malbec - Argentina	3.20	17.95
Coming from the leading red meat eating country in the world, it's not surprising that this goes perfectly with a nice rare steak.
Smooth and Earthy
Les Grandes Serres, Cote du Rhone - France		18.95
A meaty, full-bodied wine with dark fruit flavours from the Grenache and Mouvedre grapes: nevertheless, this is never cloying or jammy, but remains clean on the palate.
Nero D'Avola, Torre Solaria - Sicily		18.95
A dry and structured wine with a great roundness. Lots of fruitiness with a touch of spice.
Chateau Les Amoureuses, Cotes du Rhone - France		26.95
Ripe, glossy raspberry bouquet, spiced with a touch of black pepper corn, with bags of juicy raspberry fruitiness. A long, long layered finish keeps inviting one back for more.
Gran Vendema, Gran Reserva, Rioja - Spain	4.75	26.95
We can't believe we have found a wine of this quality for such a price. Aged in American oak for 24 months, this wine is packed with rich fruit and plenty of sweet vanilla, it has a finish which lasts and lasts.
Chateau Montouliers, Minervois - France		18.95
A crunchy, brambly mid-weight Syrah that's proudly flying the flag for the renaissance of the Southern French vineyard.
Tanners Claret, Bordeaux - France	3.75	21.95
Freshly crushed blackcurrants with subtle oaked edges: the richness of a young Claret with the depth of a mature wine. Succulent and moreish.
Robust and Full
Chateau Musar, Bekka Valley - Lebanon		40.95
Iconic red from this war-torn country: luckily these fantastic grapes haven't been harmed .
Intriga Cabernet Sauvignon 2006, Maipo Valley - Chile		30.75
'I hope this wine transports you to the intrigueing foothills of the Andes Mountain' Written by Cristián Correa, the winemaker. It does.
Zenato, Ripassa Valpolicella, Veneto - Italy		27.95
A great big Christmas cake of a wine, with rich, dark fruit and a marzipan nose.
Bricco Gattera, Barolo 2004, Cordero di Montezemolo, Piedmont - Italy		60.00
An ideal wine for a meaty dish: game, venison, half a cow or like Obelix, a whole roast wild boar. Ok, it might be expensive, but you could die tomorrow.
Rosé
Finca El Picador, Merlot Rose, Central Valley - Chile	3.00	15.95
Delightful, gentle strawberry fruit body with a touch of sweetness to finish.
Chateau Ste Marguerite Cru Classe 2003, Cotes de Provence - France		26.75
Serious rosé for grown ups. Forget Pinot blush, this is the real deal and to top it all off it's organic, so drink with a clear conscience.
Slowine Rosé, 2007, Paarl - South Africa (Salmon pink and fresh)	3.20	18.50
Award winning rosé that is much racier than its name. Only to be drunk with a big smile or even better - with a friend to help.
