A NOTE ON WINE NOTES
As always, we suggest drinking what you like.
We include ratings when we can from The Wine Spectator, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate,
Wine Enthusiast or Stephen Tanzer.
Generally a wine that rates above 85 is ‘very good’, well made & representative of the style.
Ratings over 90 indicate truly special bottles. Ratings over 94 are considered “classic”.
In some cases we beg, grovel & plead for a few bottles of a particular selection from our distributors 
Please take advantage of these special finds.
NOT SURE?
Our servers will be happy to recommend a few selections based on your likes and your dinner selections,
please make use of their experience.
DECANTING
Some of our older red selections have natural sediment.
Please be patient and we will decant the wine for your full enjoyment.
Some (particularly unfiltered) whites have natural tartaric acid crystals.
They are heavier than the wine and will collect at the bottom of the bottle.
They are tasteless and are not indicative of any flaw. Decanting is not necessary.
Some younger wines that are ‘big, muscular, tough, tannic’ styles may benefit from decanting
as it promotes aeration and softens the wine.
Your server may recommend decanting or feel free to ask that we decant.
BON APPETIT ! ENJOY !
SPARKLERS ...celebrate something !
