Clean but rounded
Pouilly Fumé Carte Noir, 2005 - France		31.50

Great white Bordeaux that is deeply flavoured with bright fruits and a fresh lingering finish.

Perfect for saying goodbye to a dreary day and hello to a happy night.
Gavi, La Chiara, Italy		22.95

Classic Kiwi kit, asparagus, grass and nettles, with lots of elegant fruit that just keeps going and going. This is mouth-wateringly moreish.
Chardonnay, Monteflores - Argentina	2.50	14.25
This went down a storm with the staff. Unusual and intrigueing with the addition of 15 percent Torrontes - go on, educate yourself.

Fresh peachy aromas with big juicy Burgundian flavours make this one classy wine.
Pernand Vergelesses Campy - France		32.50

Petit Chablis, Laroche - France	3.90	23.50
This wine packs in so many of the characteristics of its clay-limestone terroir you'd think you had fallen face first onto the vineyard floor. Delicate and fresh, light fruit wine.

Ruby red with cherries and spices. Big fleshy wine with smooth tannins.

Cracking Beaujolais at an even better price. Light and fragrant, with plenty of fruit and a slightly spicy edge. Cracking lunchtime quaffer.
Nebbiolo, La Famiglia 2004 - Australia		22.00
Lighter in style than its brutal Italian brothers but still a good wallop of leather and rose petals on the palate.
Smooth and earthy
Merlot, Cusumano - Italy	2.50	14.25
Good grippy tannins and plummy fruits from a cheeky Italian.
Rioja, Fuenmayor Crianza 2003 -Spain	3.20	18.25
Soft and juicy that has seen a gentle thwack of oak, but lived to tell the tale.
Cote du Rhone, Chateau les Amoureuses - France		26.50
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.
Cabernet/Merlot, Chateau Meriguet Bordeaux 2006 - France		18.95
Fruity and well balanced. Crack open a bottle and enjoy what the French do best.
Tempranillo, Lar de Lares Reserva 2002 - Spain		20.00

Intense ruby red colour with less tannins than a Cabernet Sauvignion. Benchmark wine from Livon in the North east coner of Italy.
Rioja Reserva, Dinastia Vivanico 2001 - Spain		28.50
Deliciosuly rounded mouthful with spicy oak, eucalyptus, black and red fruits. Toast and liquorice on the finish. This blew us away at a recent tasting.

Amber garnet with fruit and spices and a nice dry finish.
Rich and plummy
Merlot, Purisima - Chile	2.90	15.95
Merlot in full cry - soft and smooth, with rich, soft tannins - it does things to your taste buds that would be considered ever so slightly rude in some countries.
Merlot, C.J. Pask, Hawkes Bay - New Zealand		24.95
Leading the way for New Zealand Merlots. Deliciously soft, plummy fruits and an elegant finish.
Aglianico, Bellamico 2006 - Italy	2.60	14.95
Aglianico's power is all about its tannin and this won't disappoint. And we couldn't believe the price. Fill your boots while the going is good.
Shiraz/Sangiovese/Merlot/Tempranillo, Red Mullet, Clare Valley 2004 - Australia		22.50

Cabernet Sauvignon, Chateau Kefraya 2000 - Lebanon		35.00
Dark, solid, tannic thoroughbred from Bekka Valley. Move over Chateau Musar. This is proper kit for the hairy chested.
Chateau Barrail Lamarzelle Figeac Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 1998 - France		42.00
If you like St Emilion, you'll love this. It's an elegant, velvety, smooth and opulent cushion of lovliness.
Dark and satanic

A rich dark-baked Christmas cake of a wine - quite a mouthful.
Old Vines Blend, Mendoza, Monteflores 2004 - Argentina		24.00
Harvested from high altitude vines giving more complexity from an extended growing season, this is one big mamma of a wine.
Amarone, Caterina Zardini - Italy		50.00
Cherry, almonds and vanilla. This is a wine of great intensity that never cloys the palate.
Barolo DOCG, Vigna Bricco Gattera - Italy		58.00

Dessert wines
Rigoletto, S. Cristina - Italy	4.00	20.00
Elegant floral notes with a hint of bees wax. We like this stuff. Small enough for a few to share.
Passito, Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi, Tordiruta - Italy		30.00
