A predominantly Pinot Noir blend with a dollop of Pinot
Meunier and one third Chardonnay which is responsible for the
wines flinty minerality. Beautifully effervescent in the glass,
pale gold in colour with hints of silver. The wine is silky and
generous in the mouth with bright yellow fruit flavours, notes
of acacia, brioche and marzipan with just a hint of spice on
the finish. An elegant, well crafted and complex effort by the
Veuve Clicquot maison. Perfect on its own as well as with fish
and poultry dishes.

White
L'Antique Sancerre 2010
Florian Mollet
Florian Mollet is the 10th generation of the Moller Maudry

Perfect with seafood.

Stag's Leap Karla Chardonnay 2008
Napa Valley
Napa Valley, once the producer of many different crops, is
known today for its wine industry, rising in the 1960s to the
first rank of wine regions. Stag's Leap Chardonnay is full of
aroma of mineral, apple, pear and spice lead to complex,
layered flavors of spiced golden apple and candied ginger, with
just a hint of hazelnut and caramel. This 2008 Karia charms
with its balance of ripe fruit, understated barrel spice, mouth-
filling texture and refreshing acidity. The wine ends with a
long, graceful finish and pairs perfectly with a wide range of
dishes such as crab, chicken and salmon.

Red
3 de Valandraud 2004
St. Emilion
Jean-Luc Thunevin, dubbed the 'Bad Boy of St Emilion for his
anarchic practices, and his wife Murielle started producing tiny
quantities of top quality wine in the late 80s with just 2,000
bottles. Today the production is significantly larger but still
small by comparison to its left bank counterparts. Les 3 is the
true second wine of Valandraud, named from Vat of Valley
of St Emilion and 'Andraud', the maiden name of Murielle. A
rich, intense and fruit forward wine with a delicate backbone
of silky smooth tannins with layers of complex red and black
berry fruits, a nose of sweet spicy vanilla, and an incredibly
long finish.

Northstar Merlot 2007
Columbia Valley
Northstar, located in Walla Walla, Columbia Valley, aims to
make Merlots that are considered among the worlds best,
using fruit sourced from one of the worlds best regions for
the varietal: Washington state. Winemaker David 'Merf' Merfeld
blends New World fruit with an Old World winemaking style,
influenced by Bordeaux's right bank, to create his highly
acclaimed wines. A seductive nose of raspberry, plum, vanilla
and coconut leads into a beautifully balanced palate of cherry
and notes of spice. The wine has a great finish with soft
tannins and pairs brilliantly with a range of red meats and
pasta dishes.

Port
Dow's 10 Year Old Tawny Port
Tawny is a style of Port often overlooked in favour of other
more traditional ruby styles. Such a shame since this is possibly
the best kept secret of the Port industry. A ruby Port is aged
for many years in small barrels which gives the wine its light
tawny colour after a period of time, and develops a beautiful
rich nuttiness with citrus peel and dried fruit flavours and
vanilla notes. Delicious with soft ripened cheeses, fruit tarts
and chocolate.
