A Curated Cellar for the Discerning Palate

Our sommelier selects wines that balance elegance and approachability, reflecting the modern European cuisine and the refined atmosphere of our poker lounge. Every bottle earns its place through a focus on small producers and classic regions, chosen to enhance both dining and social play. We emphasise quality and value, ensuring each pour feels considered rather than merely available.

“A great wine should make the table feel more generous, the conversation easier, and the evening longer in the best way.”

Our cellar is a journey through Old World and New World wines, with a focus on bottles that tell a story. Temperature-controlled storage preserves delicate aromatics, while a selection of rare vintages rewards guests who want to linger over something memorable. Sommeliers offer personalised recommendations so every guest, from first-time explorer to seasoned collector, can find a glass that fits the moment.

The Art of Pairing

Our sommelier works closely with the chef to create pairings that enhance both the dish and the wine, from delicate seafood to rich meats. Seasonal menu considerations guide every recommendation, while classic and innovative pairings keep the list lively. Tasting notes are available on request, so you can understand why a particular wine sits beside a particular plate.
