Benares

This is a red driven list, nearly 400 bottles with reds outnumbering whites better than three to two, built around French Burgundy on both colors and backed by serious Italian depth in Piedmont and Tuscany. The strengths are classic: Burgundy from Domaine Tortochot, Champagne with houses like Delamotte, Piedmont anchored by Gaja and Guasti, plus Tuscan weight from Tenuta San Guido and a Spanish ringer in Domaine de Pingus. There is reach into California and Australia through Errazuriz and Penfolds, and 24 dessert and fortified options to close. Prices run accessible at the bottom, with bottles opening around 21 to 30 GBP, and the 28 wines by the glass give you real room to pour across styles. It rewards a guest who wants old world Burgundy and Piedmont but will not strand anyone looking for a Champagne or a New World red.
