This list may change from time to time.

We try to offer a mix of value, prestige & unusual wines to match our varied band of customers and their mood/budget.

We chose our wines by quality/flavour using many smaller, non-brand vineyards.

We put a flat-rate mark up on the more ‘expensive’ wines as we want our food to be complemented by good wines so they represent the best value.

We rotate which wines we sell by the glass so you can try all our list.

Should you really want to try a particular bottle which isn’t being sold by the glass, we may be able to open it for you.

If you are driving try to order less of a better wine.

Most wine contains our namesake fish by-product isinglass so is not vegetarian.

We happily re-cork unfinished bottles for you to take home.
