Dry - Trebbiano, Rubicone, Italy	2.45	13.25
Clean, fresh, dry and Italian.
Medium - Sauvignon/Colombard 2007, France	2.45	13.25
Fresh and zesty wine from the south of France.
Crisp, dry and refreshing
Pinot Grigio 2007, Le Poesie, Veneto, Italy	2.95	16.95
A dry and elegant Pinot Grigio, as clean as my Grandmother's conscience.
Sauvignon Blanc 2007, Les Carisannes, France		19.95
Top notch Sauvignon without breaking the bank, full of fruit, weight, elegance and flavour: one nil to the French.
Sauvignon Blanc 2007, Estampilla, Chile	2.90	15.95
A clean and sophisticated wine with ripe citrus and tropical fruit balanced by a crisp acidity.
Grillo, Sicilia, Italy		17.25
Another step up from Pinot Grigio, but at the same price. Predicted to be the next big thing.
Mâcon-Lugny-'les Genièvres' Louis latour	3.80	22.45
Proper Chardonnay.
Buttery and full
Verdejo-Viura 2007, Spain		16.45
A lovely wine with good length, lovely soft fruit and bags of finesse.
Pouilly Fuissé - Les Chailloux 2004, Burgundy, France		32.50
Planted on flinty soils known as 'Chailles', or gun flint, this Burgundian Chardonnay expresses hints of undergrowth along with all the minerality, weight and layers of fruit one looks for in a wine from this renowned village.
Gavi di Gavi, Cristina Ascheri 2007, Piedmont, Italy		22.75
An iconic wine produced from the Cortese grape, it is medium dry and laced with floral notes and fresh fruit. Even the Italians drink it.
'Le Haut de la Garde' 2005, Chateau Pierre-Bise, Anjou, Loire Valley, France		24.00
An absolute beast of a wine from maverick producer Claude Papin, dripping with honey, citrus fruits and a slightly nutty edge, it has a wonderful nose and a full, dry, elegant finish. A wine drinker's wine. ..
Chardonnay 'Novas' 2005, Chile		24.45
Full on Burgundy quality, this is Chardonnay from the Casablanca Valley only at half the price of its French cousin.
Clean but rounded
Chablis 2006, Domaine Chevallier, France		26.00
Wonderfully clean fruit with depth and weight in this mineral-driven wine from the northern tip of Burgundy.
Pouilly Fumé 2006, Loire Valley, France		26.00
If the aroma of fresh grass cuttings and the delicious taste of asparagus with gooseberries and a mouthwatering limestone finish is not enough, do not purchase this beautifully elegant wine.
Chardonnay 2007, La Joya, Chile	2.85	15.95
Unoaked and cold-fermented, this is at the crystal clean, fruit driven end of the Chardonnay spectrum.
'Blanc de Mer' 2007, Bouchard Finlayson, South Africa		19.95
A collaberation between two wine producers as they sat eating shell fish together in Cape Town. The wine quite naturally is clean, well balanced and harmonious, good on its own or with our old friends from the ocean.
Chenin Blanc 2009, Franschhoek Cellars, South Africa		15.95
Creamy and soft with good fruit. Chenin really does love the soil of South Africa.
Chablis 1st cru, Fourchaume, Oliveira Lecestre, France		28.00
Premier cru Chablis should require no introduction. Fish for supper perhaps.
Albariño 2008, Valmiñor, Rias Baixas, Spain		26.00
An outstanding example of this coastal varietal that's been taking the plaudit's for a good couple of years now, and rightly so .
Fruity and aromatic
Riesling 2007, Alan Mcorkindale, New Zealand		24.00
A superb wine by a renowned Kiwi producer, this has hints of petrol and rose petals on the nose, tropical fruits on the palate and a long, dry as a bone finish.
Niersteiner Gutes Domtal 2007, Germany		15.25
Ok so the name is a bit of a mouthful, the wine is a deliciously light, fruity, sweet number that drinks superbly.
Riesling Spatlese 2006, Weingut Paulinshof, Germany		28.00
When the Germans do it well they do it very well. This sweet toe tingler has delicious fruits dripping off your tongue: if you caramellised tangerine peel this is how it would taste. The balance between sugar and fruit is stunning.
Sauvignon Blanc 2007, Clifford Bay Reserve, Marlborough, New Zealand		26.00
Now don't get me wrong, your average Marlborough Sauvignon hits the spot - but this little nunber is on the next level. Zesty lime and pineapple flavours are complemented by wild gooseberry and nettle stalk aromas. Class.
Riesling, Limestone Coast, Australia		15.95
A limey quaffing Riesling which is just incredibly tasty.
Sauvignon Blanc 2008, Marlborough, New Zealand	4.20	22.50
You can almost smell the Coastal breeze as this Marlboroughian touches down for some gooseberry dancing at tea time.
Viognier 2008, Vin de pays d'oc, France	3.20	17.95
Buttery, toasted apricots and peaches anyone, bonjour.
Champagne and Sparkling Wine
Champagne Camille Savès, France		36.95
Premier cru Champagne from the Bouzy (great name) region, they grow the grapes, make the Champagne and love what they do - this is the proper kit.
Pol Roger, Extra Cuvée De Reserve, Champagne, France		49.95
A favourite of the Dysart and the late Sir Winston Churchill, class.
Champagne, Camille Savès 'Cuvee Rose' France		39.95
Dance, just dance, only make sure you wear your pink slippers.
Chateau De Montgueret Rosé, Saumur, France		24.50
Dont be put off by the Las Vegas style packaging, this is a serious piece of pink bubbly action that stands up against the aristocrats of Champagne - and for half the price too.
G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge, Champagne, France		49.95
Top notch Champagne form one of the classic houses.
Tanners Cava, spain	5.25	20.95
Made in the exact same way as Champagne except in Spain. So good you might need another bottle.
Dessert Wine
Icewine 2005, Peller Estates, Canada (375ml bottle)		45.00
A stunning example of icewine from Canada, this is so pure you almost feel guilty drinking it. This is the Bentley of the puddding wine community, and is just wonderful with cheese. A bottle will just about do six people.
Muscat de St Jean-de-Minervois, France(375ml bottle/50ml glass)	2.45	14.95
Delicious little sweety that is sticky without being cloying and reatains a delightful citrus finish, yummy.

The Dysart - Reds

House	125 ml	Bottle
Sangiovese 2007, Rubicone, Italy	2.45	13.25
Good honest Italian red, one for a good meal or on its own.
Smooth and earthy
Rioja 2008, Conde, Spain	2.95	16.95
Yummy, quaffing Rioja suitable for everyday use.
Cabernet Sauvignon 2006, Los Vilos, Chile	2.80	14.95
Good powerful fruit, tannins and a hint of eucalyptus come to the fore in this hard-working Chilean.
Chateau Les Amoureuses 2005, Cotes du Rhone, France		26.00
A delicious yet fairly delicate Rhone wine with layers of fruit, gentle black pepper spices and a good but not overpowering body - hard to put your glass down.
Malbec Cabernet 2007, Bodegas Etchart, Argentina		15.95
Argentina's flagship grape Malbec is well complemented with a touch of Cabernet resulting in a juicy yet well rounded wine offering very good value.
Rioja semi-Crianza 2006, Bodegas Valle Mayor, Rioja, Spain		19.95
Just how Rioja should be, with ripe fruit and supple vanilla tannins, even the label is ace.
Merlot 2006, C.J Pask, Hawkes bay, New Zealand		24.95
I really am beginning to belive that New Zealnd is where the old world meets the new in wine terms anyway, this is packed full of delicious, plummy fruit flavours but has a subtle oak, long and refined finish.
Chianti 2007, Sensi, Italy		19.95
A softer style of Chianti with rich dark cherry and raspberry fruit flavours.
Rioja Reserva 2004, Dinastia Vivanco, Spain		28.00
Superb old-style Rioja. Ageing gives it an intense colour, aromatic nose and a delightfully soft, complex palate of blackcurrant, vanilla ice cream and liquorice.
Warm and spicy
Chateauneuf du Pape 2007, Domaine Nalys, Southern Rhone, France		35.00
Full bodied and well balanced wine with silky tannins, dark fruit and good length.
Shiraz 2005, Peter Lehman, Barossa Valley, Australia	3.35	18.95
A super piece of Barossa Shiraz action with pumped up fruit and smokey black pepper flavours - not to be confused with the jammy old Shiraz that sometimes hangs around supermarkets.
Pinot Noir 2008, Esterházy, Austria		25.00
It is not every day that one wakes up and fancies an Austrian Pinot Noir but this wine will do it to you. A lovely nose leads to some delicious strawberry and raspberry flavours on the palate and a long, warm, spicy, clove -aden finish.
Primativo 2008, Italy		16.95
Rich, warm dark cherry flavours with a spicy leather and liquorice fiinish - proper Italian wine.
Dark, naughty and possibly satanic
Shiraz 2005, Blackstone Winery, California		18.45
Jammy fruit flavours and vanilla oak flavours come to the fore in this sun-drenched Californian.
Chateau Kefraya 2000, Bekaa valley, Lebanon		32.00
They say - 'A calm explosion of black cherry, tobacco and ceder on the nose. A smooth and supple texture conceals a full bodied and velvety finish'. We say - 'Beating Chateau Musar with something to spare right now'.
Amarone Della Valpolicella 2003, Rugola, Italy		39.00
Surely the Grandfather of the world's great wines. Hints of black cherries, liquorice, raisins, chocolate and tar are in that bottle somewhere: this is fairly sweet by nature and wonderful with cheese.
Drought Reserve Shiraz 2003, Canonbah Bridge, Australia		38.00
This stunning wine is made very rarely and in very small quantities. Amarone in style it has a sweet complexity which exhibits hints of chocolate, cassis, liquorice, rum and raisin ice-cream and a little hot, fresh tar. Is very good friends with anything cheesy that resides on a board.
'Ripasso' Cantina Valpantena 2007, Valpolicella, Italy	4.50	26.00
This baby Amarone is up for anything from meat pie to Stilton cheese and is so easy to drink that one day it will probably carry a government health warning all of it's own.
Chateau Musar 2001, Bekaa valley, lebanon-half bottle		19.95
The legend is here in a little bottle.
Rich and plummy
Merlot 2008, Mont gras, Chile	2.85	15.45
A rich and plummy Merlot that hits the spot.
Tanners claret, Bordeaux, France		19.95
Good honest, soft and well-balanced Claret, looking to be best friends with something meaty to eat.
Pomerol 2004, Chateau de Valois, France		38.00
Well there is wine and there is wine isn't there.am I there.
Chateau Grand-Barrail Lamarzelle Figeac 1998, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France		39.00
A beast from the east bank with Merlot playing the lead role giving us a full-on earthy wine with tremendous layers of fruit and texture - one for a special occasion.
Cabernet Franc 2006, Solese, Italy		19.25
Wow, this completely knocked our socks off at a recent tasting, full-bodied, well-balanced, elegant and excellent with food, need I continue, now really!.
Merlot 2008, Berri Estates, Australia		16.45
Jam packed with berry fruit flavours and toasted oak.
Light and delicate
Pinot Noir 2007, Escale, France	3.50	19.95
A superb Vin De Pays d'Oc Pinot Noir, not quite Burgundian but close enough for me.
Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2006, Bouchard pere et fils, France		23.50
As a friend told me the other day, 'That is exactly how Pinot Noir should taste'.
Beaujolais 2005, Domaine de Bionnay, France		20.95
Proper Beaujolais made using grapes from old vines, producing a light and delicious wine.
Vougeot Premier Cru 'Les Cras' 2000, Domaine Vougeraie, Burgundy, France		56.00
An exquisite red Burgundy with wild strawberries, red currants, plums and violets with gentle hints of fresh leather.
Rosé
Rosé 2008, Navarra, Spain	2.95	16.95
Pink summery dancing juice.
Pinot Grigio blush 'le Poesie' Italy		16.95
Fun and fruity pink stuff from Italy.
Tanners Rosé, France		19.95
A dry and elegant rosé with gentle fruit flavours - be warned though, it's very moreish.
