An in-your-face style of Aussie w hite. 7 Picpoul de Pinet Domaine Reine Juliette France £4.00 175ml Glass, £15.75 750ml Bottle Possibly the perfect wine for drinking with fish, this dry French classic comes from the deep South of France. 8 Sauvignon Blanc Allan Scott New Zealand £4.75 175ml Glass, £18.50 750ml Bottle Allan Scott is regarded as one ofthebest Marlborough winemakers. This is zingy, dry and full of wonderful fruit flavours. Fantastic and now bottled under a Stelvin closure. 9 Petit Chablis Les Temps Perdus France half Bt £11.00 , 750ml Bottle £20.00 Contrary to popular belief, the wines from Petit Chablis are not necessarily inferior to Chablis proper, it is so called because the area producing it is smaller. This wine was made by Clotilde Davenne from her own vineyard. She is a multi-award winning winemaker. Pinot Gris Bernhard & Reibel France £24.00 750ml Bottle Elsewhere known as Pinot Grigio, this variety has become incredibly popular and where as most of what is produced is thin and light, this wine shows what can be achieved. Rich, dry and utterly delicious. 11 Meursault Less Pellans Domaine d' Ardhuy 2004 France £38.00 750ml Bottle Although still young, already we are seeing the vibrant fruit and endless elegance of this white Burgundy.

REDDY12 House Red Vin de Pays de I'Herault France £2.75 175ml Glass, £10.95 750ml Bottle Full-bodied red showing lovely weight, length and finish.

An absolute gem at the price. 16 Cinsaut Cabernet Forge Mill South Africa £3.75 175ml Glass, £14.95 750ml Bottle Soft and approachable but with an almost Old World backbone running through it.

Perfect with hearty food. 18 Igiea Barbera d'Asti Tenuta Grillo Italy £26.95 750ml Bottle Massive spicy red from this classic Italian variety.

Superb colour and perfect anytime drinking. 21 Brampton Blush South Africa £3.25 175ml Glass, £13.00 750ml Bottle Full bodied deep-coloured pink from our friends in the Cape.Dry but so,sofruity !
