Rosé
4	Blush Zinfandel "Cougar's Moon" CALIFORNIA The sweetest, most refreshing of our rosés. A magnificent quaffer, slipping down so easily.		5		Pinot Grigio Rosé "Laroma" ITALY A drier style made with food in mind. Heavier and more weighty.

White Wines
9	Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, "Fairfields" NEW ZEALAND Classic Kiwi style. Gooseberries and green grass all over the place, with up-front fruit and a nice dry finish.	10	White Rioja, Azabache SPAIN Rioja is famous for its full-flavoured red wines, but the whites pack a powerful punch too! Fruity, with a dry finish.

More than a simple quaffer, this is serious wine, made with food in mind.	14	Chardonnay Reserve, "Castle Creek" AUSTRALIA Oaky, smoky and positively dripping with up-front flavour. Big, powerful wine which works particularly well with richer dishes.
15	Vouvray Demi-Sec FRANCE The richest and ripest of our bottle wines – there is significant sweetness but it is perfectly in balance, and not remotely cloying.	16	Organic Gewurtztraminer Adobe CHILE Made from organically grown vines from the cool, crisp vineyards of the Andes.

One of the best examples of New World Pinot Noir.
20	Chianti "Prunatelli" ITALY A taste of timeless Tuscany! Elegant, with just a lick of acidity to cut through rich sauces.	21	Fleurie "Les Garants" FRANCE The flower of Beaujolais, with soft silky fruit. Melts in the mouth, and partners fish, chicken and pork perfectly.
22	Cabernet Sauvignon, "Emiliana" CHILE Lovely sweet style, with just a whisper of food-friendly tannin holding it all together. Great value.		23		Rioja, Crianza Azabache Lightly oaked in the traditional manner, this explodes with up-front flavour. Extremely popular, and rightly so!
24	Cabernet/Shiraz "The Musician" AUSTRALIA A real crowd-pleaser, delivering exuberant, velvety dark fruit character and a nicely sweet finish.		25	Malbec, Pascual Toso ARGENTINA Smooth, silky fruit with a powerful backbone of green tannin. Made very much with meat in mind.
26	Pinotage, "Rocheburg" SOUTH AFRICA Delivers more bang for your buck than virtually any other wine on the list! Velvety-soft dark fruit with plenty of power backing it up.	27	Cotes du Rhone Villages, "Le Coteaux" FRANCE A mini-Chateauneuf du Pape! The classic Rhone blend, with just a whisper of oak. Magnificently quaffable and perfect with burgers and beef.
Sparkling
28	Sparkling Brut, Veuve Valmante Light, easy-drinking style. Refreshing just off-dry with medium, rich raspberry fruit.	29	Sparkling Rosé, Veuve Valmante Pink is the colour of romance! Not too dry, this slips down as easily as a plate of strawberries and cream!
30	Prosecco "La Dolci Colline" ITALY The hotter climate means that Italy's famous fizz is a bit richer and a bit riper than champagne. Light and fruity it works well anytime of the day!
Champagne
