There’s an impressive array of bottles lining the walls, each a testament to the careful selection process. Katie and Victoria’s extensive knowledge of wine regions, varietals and vintages shines through as they expertly guide you through a curated wine list, where each pour tells a unique story. Start with tasty snacks and then complement your wine with white fish crudo in coconut cream with finger lime, curry leaves and salted radish. Maybe Matangi beef rump tartare with parmesan custard and fried pickles, or Holly Bacon pork cheeks with seared Hokkaido scallop, hot and sour pears in a chilli and ginger broth. For those who share a passion for wine and wish to explore its many facets in a friendly neighbourhood setting, this is the perfect destination.
