White Wine  
   

Garganega, Alpha Zeta, Italy, 2005                                              

£10.00
Our House White Little green apples from northern Italy!  The Alpha Zeta (Italian for A-Z) is full of fruit and has a fresh, crisp edge to it.  A highly adaptable wine, it will match veg, fish or fowl and is also great by itself to share with friends at the start of a meal…or any time!  
   

Chenin Blanc, The Veldt Range, South Africa 2006

£12.00
Pouring a glass of this lovely Chenin Blanc releases aromas of melon, lychees and other tropical fruits: very enticing.  It’s soft and drinkable, yet with a dash of acidity for balance.  Particularly good with the slightly sweet flavours of shellfish, we think.  
   

Chardonnay, Persimmon, France, 2003          

£13.00
From sunny southern France comes a lovely unoaked Chardonnay: this modern style means the fruit isn’t smothered in oaky aromas, it shines through fresh and delicious.  Good with roast chicken as well as many light-to-medium flavoured dishes.  
   

Sauvignon Blanc, Omrah, Australia, 2004           

£16.00
Close your eyes, take a deep breath…wow!  This is a real stunner from one of Western Australia’s oldest, most respected wineries.  Full of tropical fruit aromas, it’s great with seafood, goat’s cheese and other vegetarian dishes, or by itself.  
   
Red Wine  
   

Corvina, Alpha Zeta, Italy, 2004                            

£10.00
Our House Red The A-Z Corvina takes a new world approach to a classic old world grape (Corvina is behind many great north-Italian wines such as Valpolicella and Amarone.)  It’s a real easy drinker, being full of juicy fruit flavours, but there are hidden depths too.  A good match to many dishes, fruity enough to drink by itself.
