A clean and sophisticated wine with ripe citrus and tropical fruit balanced by a crisp acidity.
Chardonnay Melon, Luneau Papin, France		16.50
This absolutely rocked our boat at a recent tasting, the same grape as Muscadet with a lick of Chardonnay adding the muscle, if I had £16.50 left in the world this is what I would spend it on.
Cape Spring Chenin Blanc 2007, South Africa	2.80	15.95
A beautifully crisp, elegant and zesty Chenin: perfect for the summer if we get one.

Tropical fruits meet asparagus for a quaffing duel at high noon.
Macon Blanc Villages, Henri Fessi 2005, Burgundy, France		21.25

Quincy, Domaine Sylvain Bailly 2005, Loire Valley, France		25.00
Fantastic Sauvignon from the Loire valley, produced by the next village along from Pouilly Fumé. This has well balanced acidity with just a hint of smokiness.

If the aroma of fresh grass cuttings and the delicious taste of asparagus with gooseberries, with a mouthwatering limestone finish is not enough, do not purchase this beautifully elegant wine...
Le Grand Duc Mauzac, France	2.65	14.75
A little known grape from a little known region, but what a wine for the money. A creamy nose is followed by good weight of fruit in the mouth and a long, dry, stylish finish. French Vin du Pays in all its glory.
Caelum Grenache Blanc, France	2.45	13.75
A delicious pear drops nose leads us into a rich and complex palate with a hint of oak. A little belter of a wine from the south of France.

A dry and elegant Pinot Grigio with tropical fruit flavours that add delicious complexity, weight and depth.
Buttery and full
Wombat Hill Chardonnay 2006, Australia	3.20	18.00
Good clean fruit and buttery oak: Aussie Chardonnay as it ought to be.
Palandri Estate Riesling 2005, Western Australia		21.50
Another 'Little Beauuuuty' from Margaret River, this is carefully weighted and showing the classic signs of kerosene on the nose with a palate of lime with floral notes.
McHenry Hohnen Semillon/Sauvignon 2005, Western Australia		25.00
Stunning wine from Margaret River. Aromas of fresh gooseberry and passion fruit dominate the tropical fruit aromas. The palate is intense but controlled with a fine acid and lively, lingering finish.
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 Massone 2005, Piedmont, Italy		21.50
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.
Chateau Pierre-Bise 'Le Haut de la Garde' Anjou 2005, Loire Valley, France		23.25
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. ..
Fruity and aromatic
Waipara Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2006, New Zealand		26.75
Cracking Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough region. Tropical fresh fruit flavours and lovely gooseberry acidity on the endlessly refreshing finish.
Villa Wolf Pinot Gris 2005, Germany		17.95
Made in the Rheinpfalz region, this is a refreshing change from all of those Italian Pinot Grigios. Off dry and fruity with delicate acidity and a touch of honey on the finish.
Weingut Paulinshof Reisling Spatlese 2006, 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.

Classic aromas of lychee and rose petal leading to a ripe fruity palate with gentle spices.
Gruner Veltliner 2006, Kaiser Garten, Austria		19.85

Champagne and Sparkling Wine
Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin, Champagne, France		45.00
Simply one of the best - classic Champagne.
Prosecco, Italy	4.25	19.75
A soft clean fizz that's great on those hot sunny days. So good, you might need another bottle.
Forget, Brimont Rosé Champagne, France		35.00
Dry, rosé champagne with fresh, delicate flavours.
Chateau De Montgueret Rosé, Saumur, France	4.80	24.00
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.
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.
Foundstone Raisined Semillion 2006, Australia (375ml bottle/50ml glass)	2.75	15.50
Delicious, full stop.
Muscat de Beaume de Venise 2003, Rhone valley, France (375ml bottle)		23.50

Just how Rioja should be, with ripe fruit and supple vanilla tannins.

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.
Aglianico Beneventano 2006, Italy	2.80	15.75
'The Barolo of the South' they cry: this is well balanced with rich berry fruits, liquorice and a hint of tar, all with a good lick of acidity.
Chateau Les Amoureuses 2005, Cotes du Rhone, France		25.00
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.
Tour de Pez 2001, Saint-Estephe, Bordeaux, France		26.50
From a single village appellation on the legendary west bank. Cabernet Sauvignon-led, this has a wonderful complexity with notes of cassis, ceder and grandfather's dusty Chesterfield, with well balanced tannins and a full lengthy finish.
Vino De Eyzaguirre Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, Chile		20.45
A full bodied Chilean dictator kept under control with some soft vanilla tannins and nice cassis fruit. This is at the top end of the Chilean scale and comes wrapped in a hessian sack.
Rich and plummy
Saxenburg 'Guinea Fowl' Cabernet/Shiraz/Merlot 2004, South Africa		21.50
A sumptious Cape red, full-bodied with abundant ripe dark fruits and spices. Loves red meat.

A wonderfully rich plummy Merlot with intense flavours, made from organically grown grapes.
Chateau Meriguet 2006, Bordeaux, France		18.95
Good honest, soft and well-balanced Claret, looking to be best friends with something meaty to eat.

Proper Beaujolais made using grapes from old vines, producing a light and delicious wine.
Chianti Colli Senesi 2006, Italy		20.00

Dark, naughty and possibly satanic
Jewel Old Vines Zinfandel 2003, U.S.A		19.95
Black cherries and spices with well rounded tannins. Perfect partner for steak and game.
Nebbiolo d'Alba 2005, Piedmont, Italy		29.85
Typical Nebbiolo, the nose intense and Italian with rubber tyres, tar and liqorice at the fore, the palate is concentrated and serious with good tannins. Barolo-esq, but at half the price.
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.
Canonbah Bridge Drought Reserve Shiraz 2003, 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.
Warm and spicy
Chateauneuf du Pape, Domaine Riche 2003, Southern Rhone, France		32.00
Full bodied and well balanced wine with silky tannins, dark fruit and good length.

A touch lighter than most Pinotages, it has a particularly soft, earthy nature which makes it great for drinking on its own if you've finished your steak.
Shiraz 2005, Peter Lehman, Barossa valley, Australia	3.30	18.75
A super piece of Barossa Shiraz action with pumped up fruit and smokey black pepper flavours - not to be confused with the ones that hang around supermarkets.
Domaine Lafond 'Roc-Epine' 2006, France		19.95
A very fruit driven Cotes du Rhone from the oldest vines in the region.
Livingstone Cinsault/Ruby Cabernet 2006, South Africa	2.60	14.50
A spicy and fruity all singing, all dancing South African beauty queen who danced a Samba on my tongue at a recent tasting.
Rosé
Pinot Grigio blush, Casa defra 2006, Italy	2.90	16.50
Lovely quaffing wine, great as an aperitif or with light meals. Wonderful on a warm, sunny day dipping your toes in a puddle.
