Champagne
Pommery Brut Champagne
It was in 1858 that Madame Louise Pommery took over the reigns of the newly formed Champagne house and began the arduous task of building the historic estate that one sees today. Chardonnay grapes from the Cote des Blancs are the primary contributors to this lively and fresh Champagne that is remarkably smooth with a soft and delightful “mousse” that never wanes on the palate. Very versatile, pairing well with many light dishes.
White Wines
Lageder “Riff” Pinot Grigio delle Venezie DOC
Alois Lageder is a fourth generation winemaker and winery owner who has been a prime innovative force in northeast Italy, the country’s primary source for high-quality white wines. This highly rated wine is grown in soil composed of dolomite, or ancient ocean fossil deposit limestone. The German name for reef is Riff and it refers to the wonderful dry, mineral flavours in this bright citrus wine. Nothing is better with any kind of shellfish, fish, salads and white meats.
Wegeler Estate Riesling
A melody of citrus notes – orange, grapefruit and lime – combines with apricot and minerals to form this crisp, sweet wine. Riesling is incredibly food flexible and will enhance a variety of pasta, fish and white meat entrees.
Red Wines
Domaine Cazes, L’Ostal Cazes Estibals, Minervois
Chateau Lynch-Bages of Bordeaux enjoys an almost cult status thanks to the hard-working Jean Michel Cazes, who decided to bring his golden touch to the Languedoc in 2002. This expressive blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Carignan makes for an intense wine of raspberry and pomegranate fruit on the nose. On the palate, the tannins are present in very fine structure and accompanied by an understated oakiness. Strong-flavoured meat dishes, cheese and pastas are great partners.
Joseph Drouhin Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir
The Drouhin family has graced the viticulture and winemaking scene in Burgundy since the 1880s. Joseph Drouhin, the modern patriarch, has not handed over the reigns to the younger Drouhin generation. Joseph also became part of the Oregon Pinot Noir boom in the 80s. Our Drouhin Beaune Premier Cru selection has very refined tannins, making the wine approachable and elegant. Fresh grilled salmon and grilled poultry are terrific matches with this wine.
Sherry
Emilio Lustau Sherry
Phoenician traders founded a frontier settlement called Shera on the Mediterranean coast. Following Roman and Moorish occupation it became the Spanish Jerez de la Fontera, now known as the Sherry region. Lustau medium Sherry is a hearty aperitif wine, amber in colour, specially fermented and continually blended through decades of ageing to achieve the nutty caramel flavours.
Dessert Wine
Graham’s Vintage Port
Founded in 1820, W. & J. Graham & Co. maintains its place as one of the most prestigious names in Port wines. Careful decanting results in a brilliantly clear and sweet ruby red dessert wine of unequalled charm. Grahams’ Vintage Port fulfils its rich heritage with bold brambleberry and plum flavours slowly mellowed to a satin texture.
Pre-Arrival Beverage
Chilled sparkling water with a fresh citrus garnish.
