Wines

Light and crisp	125 ml	Bottle
Villa Moncaro Marche Bianco, Italy	2.70	14.50
A crisp, clean apple fresh wine which makes for very easy drinking.
Marchesini Pinot Grigio, Italy	3.10	16.95
Classic Pinot Grigio with a touch of almond making an exceedingly quaffable vino.
Tierra Sauvignon Blanc, Maule Valley, Chilie	2.75	14.95
This is herbaceous in style with a distinct nettley aroma: a fine demonstration of Sauvignon's varietal characteristics.
Domaine de la Jousseliniere Muscadet sur Lie, France		18.25
A blast from the past - but this is a groovy wine that deserves to be re-discovered. Like flares, for instance, or hot pants.
Terre Cortese Verdiccio, Italy		19.25
This is a light, fresh style of white with bright acidity and citrus flavours with aromatic grassy and nutty notes adding complexity.
Vieux Prunières Sancerre, France		29.95
Crisp, clean, refreshing: an elegant and lean wine that avoids any harshness or austerity: this is just as God decreed.
Tokara Sauvignon Blanc, South Africa		23.95
This is typical of the crisp, elegant minerality often associated with Cape Sauvignons, and is reminiscent of Sancerre rather than the more blousy style found elsewhere in the new world.
Rounded but still clean
Kleine Zalze Chenin Blanc, South Africa	3.00	16.45
Bags of yellow tropical fruits leap out like gazelles from the bush. One step up from dry, but it never cloys.
La Campagne Viognier Vdp d'Oc, France		16.45
This is clean and crisp, but rendered succulent with some delicious apricot overtones.
Armidale Estate Hill Grove Unoaked Chardonnay, Australia	3.10	16.95
Good Chardonnay flavours which remain fresh throughout as a result the absence of an old oak tree.
Pouilly-Fumee-Cuvee du Tronsec, Joseph Mellot, France		29.95
Massive gunflint on the nose, with a slightly citrus edge to the sauvignon that keeps it fresh but rounded: an aristocrat.
Riverstone East Coast Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand	3.45	18.50
Classic Kiwi kit - gooseberries and nettles, with lots of elegant tropical fruit that just keeps going and going. Mouth-wateringly scrumptious, and excellent value.
Rich and full bodied
Tintara Horseshoe Row Chardonnay, Australia		18.95
A great big shaggy dog of a wine that licks you all over.
Chablis Lucien Tardieu, France		29.95
Tradional old-school Chablis - it's as French as Gérard Depardieu in a beret with a string of onions round his neck, pedaling his bicyclette home from the rugby having lost to Les Rosbifs.
Macon l'Aurore, France		21.95
Some less expensive white Burgundy can get a bit ponderous, but not this little number with its figure-hugging cloak of oak.
Maison Champy Pernand Vergelesses, France		46.95
A superior white Burgundy from a small organic estate. This wine has top end credentials, backed up by deliciously rich, buttery Chardonnay flavours. .
Aromatic
Etchart Privado Torrontes, Chile		17.95
Juicy and fragrant. If I had but £20 left in the world, this is what I would do with it. Then I'd put the change on an accumulator at Lingfield so I could buy some more later.
Rueda Analivia Verdejo Pagos del Rey, Rueda, Spain		19.95
A mouth-watering find from Spain with tropical fruits that don't cloy, with honeydew melon on the finish.
Ascheri Gavi Di Gavi, Piemonte, Italy		28.95
Nose this little number to find out what all the fuss is about. Matteo, the avuncular wine maker from Piemonte, (and a bit of a fan of B&P), left the grapes on the vine for two weeks longer than normal to produce an opulent, perfumed and luscious wine that sings in the glass. Worth every penny.
Domaine Guy Allion Sauvignon		24.95
From the banks of the River Cher this is an all singing all dancing little number. On the palate expect gooseberry, elderflower and a hint of summer fruits.
Raimat Alberino Verdejo Pagos del Rey, Rueda, Spain		19.95
Alberino is all the rage these days, and this is a peach of a wine, showing delicate aromas of citrus, dried flowers and spice with a hint of sweet vanilla. The palate is well rounded and the finish refreshing.
J & H Selbach Riesling Hochgewachs, Germany		21.95
A gentle sweetness and a clean clip of acidity makes this a delicious aperitif and a wonderful partner to salmon and other oily fishy things.
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand		39.95
The icon of New Zealand Sauvignons, this still sits at the pinnacle. Okay so it's expensive, but you might die tomorrow.
Rosé wines
Ardesia Pinot Grigio Blush, Italy	3.10	16.95
A classic picnic wine, this has good raspberry overtones and is most agreeable. Great on a sunny day.
Hutton Ridge Pinotage Rose	3.10	16.95
Strawberries and cream in a glass.
Pudding wine
Chateau La Fleur Des Pins, Graves, France (1/2 btl)	6.00	18.95
Good, Sauternes-style desert wine, with oodles of honey and lemon.
Tokaji Aszu 1/4 btl		18.95
This intriguing and beguiling wine is an intense honeyed mouthful with hints of orange marmalade and a kiss of ginger.

House Red	125 ml	Bottle
Villa Moncaro Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon, Italy	2.70	14.50
A delightfully gluggable Italian charmer.
Light and fruity
Montepulciano d' abruzzo Collezione Marchesini	2.80	14.95
A beautiful little Italian quaffer.
Villa Domiziano Chianti, Italy		18.95
This is Chianti as it used to be, before they started stuffing it with Merlot to sell to jam-loving Americans. Elegant, with a touch of spice and an easy going nature, this is a quaff-meister.
Escale Pinot Noir, France		19.95
This all that a Pinot should aspire to: warm and loving with a good level of fruit that's had sun on its back. This has been given a little extra time on the vine to put on some rock and roll into the bottle.
Louis Jadot Cõte de Beaune Villages, France		37.95
The earthy nose of cherry and liquorice tells you this is proper kit - the subtlety of this fine Burgundy is a welcome relief from those interminable New World fruit-bombs. 'This is a sniper's rifle amongst a sea of howitzers and mortars' (JC).
Outback Chase Shiraz Cabernet	2.90	15.95
This appealing red wine captures the spirit of Australia with a wonderful array of berry fruits with sweet toasty oak flavours. .
Fran Q, Terre Di Ginestra, Sicily		19.95
A bit of an oddity this one. Typically crunchy and leafy Cabernet Franc, but layered with soft fruits and bergamot (as in Earl Grey), softened with a touch of barrel ageing. Definately, definately worth a punt.
Smooth and earthy
Aresti Cabernet Sauvignon, Chile		16.95
Fantastic value from Chile, this has good fruit, a supple body, and a lovely finish.
Royal St Emilion, France		29.95
St Emilion proudly flies the Merlot flag, stifferend with a breeze of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and this is absolutely on the button. See if you can find the Stilton on the nose..
Solaguen Rioja Crianza, Spain	3.50	18.95
Soft in the mouth, this is warm and friendly and can be enjoyed with or without food, for dinner, lunch or breakfast.
Teno Block 1870 Merlot, Chile		18.50
Medium-bodied, juicy Merlot. Rich and plummy aromas with a subtle hint of chocolate. Give this a nice warm home in your tummy.
Chateau Lamothe Bergeron Haut Medoc, France		42.95
Deep garnet red in colour with a complex bouquet of red fruit, cinnamon and vanilla. Soft and round on the palate with good concentration and an oaky aftertaste.
Chateau La Croix Du Duc, France		22.25
This has a leafy, bosky character. The balanced tannins leave the mouth feeling clean: this is best as a food wine, when it will shine.
Sierra Cantabria Reserva Rioja, Spain		35.95
Clear dark ruby colour, this has pleasant scents of black cherries and oaky vanilla, with good crisp fruit and sweet oak on the palate.
Cotes Du Rhone La Denteliere Caves St Pierre, France		16.95
Very Palatable-compared to all those shouty Australian reds jumping up and down waving their arms, this is a harmonious mal voice choir.
Warm and spicy
Mont Gras La Paz Merlot, Chile	3.10	16.95
Cherry and chocolate on the nose, with smooth dark fruit and currant flavours in the mouth.
La Scala Valpolicella, Italy		19.95
There is a red berry quality to this Italian stallion, which is alive and vibrant in the mouth.
Tooma River Shiraz, Australia		19.50
If the Starship Shiraz fell into a wormhole in the space/time continuum, this is how it would emerge at the other end, with all its bits re-arranged. This has a nose made of eucalyptus leaves, with chocoalte eyebrows, coffee ears and a tongue fashioned from nutmeg. It's kind of different.
Rich and plummy
Santa Ana Malbec, Argentina	3.10	16.95
A goucho with a bit of a swagger, this has chocolate, vanilla and blackcurrant, kept honest with soft tannins.
The Pavillion Shiraz Viognier, Boschendal, South Africa	3.30	17.95
This is the blend made famous by Cote Roti in the Rhone, and the boys in Boschendhal make the wine sing in the glass. A gorgeous drop.
Ripassa Valpolicella		32.95
A great big Christmas cake of a wine, with rich, dark fruit and a marzipan nose.
Crasto Duoro, Portugal		23.95
Portugese wine can be a bit of a hooligan on the block, but this wine is all that you think it isn't going to be. Full bodied and slightly grunty, this is vibrant and muscular but it's not overbearing and has been known to help old ladies cross the road.
Champagne and sparkling wine
Villa Domiziano Prosecco		19.95
Perfect Prosecco. A unanimous winner at a recent Prosecco tasting.
Baby Astoria Lounge Prosecco, Italy		7.95
200ml of fun. The number one Prosecco sold in restaurants across Italy.
San T'Ousole Sparkling Pinot Grigio Rosé, Italy		21.95
This lovable Italian thoroughbred has the mereist lick of red grape that gives it a kiss of light blush. Dry, fresh and fruity, an all round well-balanced specimen.
Boizel Brut Reserve, France		29.95
An extremely pleasant, quaffable Champagne with caramel hints. Slips down an absolute treat.
Mumm Cordon Rouge		36.95
The famous old red ribbon has fruit, finesse and style - a rich and dry Grand Marque.
Perrier Jouet NV. France		45.95
Fresh and lively with spiralling bubbles, delicate bouquet and subtle flavours. .
