We believe that wine makers are the chefs of the vineyards.
At the restaurant we do our utmost to pay tribute to their extraordinary
efforts and show their wines at their very best.
The wines are chosen for their suitability in matching the
food we present. Each wine is evaluated on it's own merits, rather
than a selection being made on the basis of medals or glowing
reviews.
Region is also a factor, and we have a predominantly New Zealand
list. We look for great wines from regions that are near
to us: Martinborough, Marlborough, Hawkes Bay and Otago. Then
we choose
wines that we just have to have, be they from Australia,
France
or wherever. Our 'Hen's Teeth' list features our cellar wines
and limited availability wines.
We use solely Riedel stemware for the service of our wines. "The
finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are
those made by Riedel. The effect of these glasses on fine wine
is profound. I cannot emphasise enough what a difference they
make" - Robert M.Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate.
