Wines

Glasfryn - Whites

Dry house	125 ml	Bottle
Marche Bianco, Italy	2.40	12.95
A crisp, clean, apple-fresh Italian with great body.
Medium house
Marechal VdP de loire Chenin Blanc, France	2.40	12.95
A juicy, sweet, fruit salad of a wine.
Crisp, dry and refreshing
Nuevo Extremo Chardonnay, Chile	2.90	15.95
Extraordinary, un-oaked quality from Chile - one of our best finds this year.
Boland Cellar, Chenin Blanc, South Africa	2.80	15.75
A step less dry, but it never gets cloying. More refreshing than a big bag of pear drops.
Ardesia, Pinot Grigio, Italy	2.90	15.95
Crisp and dry with tinges of nuttiness that leave a refreshing finish on the palate. What I tend to do is have one more sip immediately.
Escale Sauvignon Blanc, France	3.00	16.95
This is at the refreshing citrus end of the Sauvignon scale - a popular zingermonger.
Macon Villages, Les Burdines, France		17.50
This is a serious white Burgundy with refreshing lemon fruit flavours cut through by a complex mineralic streak, with a deliciously long finish.
Clean but rounded
Muscadet Sur Lie, Domaine de Landreau, Loire, France	2.80	15.00
Drink this and you'll know why Muscadet is so popular - it's refreshing with good weight and a hint of pepper - goodbye dreary day, hello happy night.
Devils Corner, Sauvginon Blanc, Tasmania, Australia	3.40	19.50
Top drawer Sauvignon from arguably one of the classiest cool climate producers in Australia. Dynamic on the palate, whilst remaining defiantly Loire-ish in style.
Pouilly Fumé Jean Pabiot, Loire, France		25.95
Oh this is good, with everything you've ever wanted from Pouilly Fumé: smokey, grassy, flinty asparagus with a hint of lime. A beautifully poised, elegant wine.
Sancerre, Domaine Jean-Paul Balland, Loire, France		26.95
With more steel than Sheffield, this one ticks all the Sancerre boxes for us.
Dream Bay, Sauvignon Banc, Marlborough, New Zealand		23.50
Classic Kiwi kit, this - gooseberries and nettles, with lots of elegant tropical fruit that just keeps going and going. This is mouthwateringly moreish.
Cloudy Bay, Sauvignon Blanc, Marlbourogh, New Zealand		39.95
Doesn't need an awful lot of introducing. As they say, it didn't get famous for nothing.
Rich and full
Bellevue Hill Chardonnay, Australia	3.00	16.00
Larger than life and well oaked with delicious butterscotch flavours and more fruit than the man from Delmonte.
Margan Vineyards Chardonnay, Australia		25.00
A rich, bold, boutique Chardy with a full-powered attack. Weighty, with concentrated fruits in the mid-palate and a touch of lemony zing. Every time I open a bottle, I could swear it cries for roast chicken.
Chablis, Emile Petit, France		24.50
Old style Chablis with pronounced buttery characteristics and lots of vanilla oak.
Chateau Lamothe de Haux, Bordeaux		19.95
This wine is a poke in the eye to anyone silly enough to think Bordeaux only makes good reds. This displays exellent quality fruit, a soft lanolin texture and fresh finish. A nice change from Sancerre.
Fruity and aromatic
Moscato D'Asti, Dezzani, Piedmont, Italy	2.80	14.95
A Moscato from Piedmont, with a lazy prickle. Overtly floral and fragrant with hints of rosemary and sage. A sweeter wine, but deeply satisfying.
Ceps du Sud Viognier, France		14.75
A great example of this succulent grape variety that thrives under the Mediterranean sun. Apricots on buttered toast with a touch of almond. Strange but tasty.
Naked Grape, Germany	2.90	15.95
Light, fruity fun and lovely with or without food anytime of the year.
Vouvray, Guy Saget, Loire, France		19.95
Weighty, with spicy quince flavours, evidence of later harvesting and cool climate complexity.
Zorzettig, Pinot Grigio, Italy		19.50
It's a full bodied, mouthful of pears, apples and honey balanced with succulent acidity. This wine is the one waving farewell to Euro-plonk PG.
Pfaffenheim Gewurztraminer, Alsace, France	3.40	18.95
Gewurztraminer literally means 'spicy grape' and if your nose works at all, you'll see why.
Cave de Ribeauville Riesling, Alsace, France		19.95
A wonderfully expressive, drier style of Riesling. Distinctive, petrol character on the nose. Palatable lime flavours, balanced with flavours of honeysuckle and hazelnuts.
L.Sophie, Fiendly Gruner Veltliner, Austria		19.95
The indigenous grape of Austria is very much in vogue right now and quite right too. So get your harness on, it has loads of zesty fruit and a real spiciness. Smashin' stuff.
Sparkling wine and champagne
Chateau de Montgueret, Rose, Saumur, Loire, France		22.95
This extremely elegant, well balanced pink little thirst quencher will get your toes tingling on those endless summer nights.
Camille Saves, Premier Cru Champagne, France		32.95
What a find this was, Premier Cru Champagne from the Bouzy (great word) region. Unusually for Champagne they grow their own grapes as well as making the wine.
Veuve Cliquot Yellow Label Brut, France		40.00
Fruit, finesse, style - a rich and dry Grand Marque.
Prosecco, Italy	3.00	16.50
Lightly sparkled and fruity - this is fun wine for any time.
Graham Beck Brut, South Africa		21.95
Just the thing after a long day hunting gazelle - you'd swear it was Champagne.
Pudding wine
Tokaji Aszu, 2004, Hungary		19.50
A bit different this one, like toasted fruit marmalade with just enough spice to keep things interesting.

Glasfryn - Reds

House	125 ml	Bottle
Moncaro, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Italy	2.40	12.95
Soft, fruity and easy drinking Italian.
Warm and spicy
Le Carredon Merlot, France	2.70	14.95
A plumy easy-drinking style with hints of caramel. Cries out for a second bottle.
Wombat Hill, Shiraz, Australia	3.00	16.95
An Auzzie Shiraz that ticks all the right boxes: a really good all-rounder with a touch of class.
Minervois Pujol Syrah, Languedoc, France		17.95
A really distinctive, carefully-made wine with a herb, mint, eucalyptus character. Don't operate heavy equipment (door knobs, knife and fork, coat hooks) after consumption.
Duque de Viseu, Dao, Portugal	2.80	16.25
Vibrant, full-bodied, and delicious, so give it a go. Trust me, please, just trust me.
Marques de Borba, Alentejo, Portugal		19.95
This wine is made from some strange grape no one has ever heard of but who cares, it's full of luscious fruit with a fine acidity and has a long, well structured finish.
Crozes Hermitage, 'Les Meysonniers',Northern Rhone, France		28.95
Flying its flag proudly from the battlements of the Chapoutier house, this Rhone has a violet perfume and gentle pepper-tinged body of complexity.
Chateau Bernes, Bordeaux, France	3.15	17.25
Lesser Clarets can be dry or dusty, not this little number which displays a really grown-up, farmyard character.
Smooth and earthy
Los Vilos Cabernet Sauvignon, Chile	2.70	14.95
A substantial Cabernet with a rich, ripe fruit character - it's a real friend of anything that's wandered in off the green pastures for an appointment with the fiery Mr Grill.
Chateau Meriguet Claret, Bordeaux, France		20.95
Freshly crushed blackcurrants with subtle oaked edges: the richness of a young Claret with the depth of a mature wine. Succulent and moreish.
Bodegas Lar de Lares Reserva, Tempranillo, Spain		22.95
A velvet smooth classic Spanish red with bags of noble oak, spices and vanilla. As sophisticated as that little black cocktail dress yet as warm and comfy as an old pair of slippers.
Purisima Estate Merlot, Chile		15.50
Merlot in full cry - soft and smooth, with rich, soft tannins and a long finish - it does things to your taste buds that would be considered ever so slightly rude in some countries.
Castillo d Clavijo Crianza, Rioja, Spain	3.40	19.50
An open and youthful wine with a medium full body and that typical smooth and silky mouth-feel we've come to expect from this area of Spain.
Pomerol, Christian Moueix, Bordeaux		27.00
Long in the mouth, developing dark fleshy plum and coffee flavours. A class act from the man who makes the legendary Chateau Petrus.
Vougeot 1er cru, 'Les Cras' Domaine De La Vougeraie, Burgundy, France		52.00
There is only a limited amount of this top notch Burgundy produced each year. With an exceptional balance of fruit, acidity and silky tannins it tap dances on your tongue like Fred Astaire.
Mercurey 'Les Montots', Domaine de Villaine, Burgundy, France		32.00
Made by the people behind Romainee-Conti, but at under five hundred quid a bottle. Opening with a sniff of summer sherbert, fruit and spice, the palate is eminently complex, like me good self.
Rich and plummy
Chateau Batailley, Pauillac Grand Cru Classé, Bordeaux		45.00
Pure class in a bottle. Hints of blackcurrant, cigar boxes, liquorice and leather are all in there somewhere, bigger than Ian Botham's cricket bat.
Stonehedge, Zinfandel, USA		19.95
With ripe dark fruits on the nose and 6.5 litre-V12 Hummer powered flavours on the palate.
Gigondas, Domaine de Font Sane, Southern Rhone, France		29.95
Opulent, perfumed violets precedes a solid tannic frame and intense, dark, voluptuous fruit.
Chateau Les Amoureuses, Cotes du Rhone, France		25.95
A ripe, black cherry and almond bouquet is kept in check by spicy black peppercorns. This wonderful wine draws one back to the glass time and time again.
Zenato 'Ripassa' Valpolicella, Veneto, Italy		23.00
A great big Christmas cake of a wine, with rich, dark fruit and a marzipan nose.
Amarone Della Valpolicella, Rugola, Veneto, Italy		40.00
A dark brooding Italian grandfather of a wine. Hints of chocolate, raisins, cherries, liquorice, tar and leather can be found if the palate is willing. This is almost sweetish in taste, and wonderful with cheese.
Yering Frog Pinot Noir, Yarra Valley, Australia		19.95
The Scarlet Pimpernel of grapes seems to have found a home in Australia's Yarra Valley. Spicy, dark cherry fruit with slightly savoury undertones and a warming finish, not Burgundian in style but very nice all the same.
Light and fruity
Brouilly, Cuvée L'Ancienne, Beaujolais, France	2.70	14.95
Light in style, floral and perfumed. Full of Gamay flavour in the mouth, which lasts well, until it runs out and then you'll need another.
Babich Pinot Noir, New Zealand		24.00
The cooler climate of New Zealand lends itself well to the thin-skinned Pinot Noir: this example is full of cherried fruit and spice whilst maintaining a light bodied elegance.
Chianti Ruffina, Tuscany, Italy		19.00
A more full bodied, robust style of Chianti with plenty of cherries and spice and enough of a backbone not to get flattened by the odd slab of cow.
Nuits St George 1er cru 'Clos des Forets St Georges', Burgundy		58.00
Not for everyday drinking but special wine for special occasions. This is what fine Burgundy is all about. Super concentrated with so many dimensons, smooth, fine tannins and structure. .
Le Bourgogne, Chanson, Burgundy, France		23.00
A favourite wine of Voltaire and Napoleon back in the day and I can see why: it's a classic Burgundy with elegant summer fruits, a lovely smell of violet perfume and a creamy berry finish.
Rosé
Chateau la Gravette, Minnervois, France	2.90	15.95
A dryer rosé.Think of strawberries and cream, think of the smell of wild flowers from the meadow and endless sunny days and you'll be on the right track.
Rosé D'Anjou, France	2.90	15.95
Gentle, sweet, fruit body with delicate raspberry flavours and a long finish.
Pudding Wine
D'arenburg Mclaren Vale, vintage fortified Shiraz, Australia (37.5cl)		16.00
A rich porty wine and not surprisingly, it can handle cheese.
