Creme de Cassis gives this cocktail its distinctive taste

Buck's Fizz
Crisp dry champagne and naturally sweet orange juice

Taittinger Brut Reserve NV Champagne
Champagne Taittinger's origins date back to 1734, and today it is one of the few Champagne Houses to be owned and actively managed by the family named on the label; Pierre Taittinger acquired the House in the early 1930s. Taittinger Brut Reserve characterises the House style, which uses a high percentage of Chardonnay in the blend. Such Chardonnay dominance helps create a style of delicacy and finesse that merits the Gold Medal awarded at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2010. Its lean palate has considerable depth and elegance with a long, fresh finish making it a perfect aperitif.

White

Le G de Chateau Guiraud 2010, Bordeaux Blanc Sec, Bordeaux, France
Dry white from the famous Sauternes estate, which is the only estate in Sauternes to be farmed organically, this is barrel fermented to give richness and body. It shows vibrant floral character and hints of lime, lemon, grapefruit, and even mango and coconut. It is a worthy Silver Medal winner from the Concours Mondial de Sauvignon, and perfect with any of the starters or the fish dishes.

Baileyana Chardonnay 2009, Santa Barbara County, California, USA
Nestled between Santa Ynez and San Rafael Mountains, the Baileyana Winery is run by Catherine Niven, wife of one of the region's grape growing pioneers. Ripe, elegant and well balanced, this top Chardonnay was made by Burgundian-born Christian Roguenant from grapes grown in cool coastal vineyards. It shows gentle, creamy vanilla flavours with fresh stone fruit characters of nectarine and peach and a lingering finish. Great with risotto, pasta and chicken.

Red

Chateau Leydet-Valentin 2007, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux, France
Frederic Leydet runs this estate which spans two appelations : Pomerol and Saint-Emilion. It has been in his family since the nineteenth century. His Saint-Emilion 2007 is a blend of predominantly Merlot and Cabernet Franc with a splash of Cabernet Sauvignon. It is well structured and aromatic, full-bodied and ripe with red fruits, sweet spices and prunes. Ideal with any of the beef dishes we are serving today.

La Crema Pinot Noir 2009, Sonoma Coast, California, USA
2009 was an excellent year for Pinot Noir along the Sonoma Coast, where the long, cool growing season produced wines of great character, depth and concentration. This one has been aged for seven and a half months in French oak creating a wine with layers of bramble fruits, spices, vanilla, smokiness and a smooth and refreshing finish. This style of Pinot goes well with fish and with the vegetarian options.
