Wine List - cloudfront.net
Wine is nothing more than fermented grape juice, but somehow that transformation turns it into heavenly stuff! Our wine list is dedicated to the hands on makers, the small growers, the crazies and the fanatics. It is filled with varieties you’ve not necessarily seen (let alone pronounced!) and producers that are unknown. What you should know is that every wine has been picked to be on this list for a good reason. Every bottle, we believe, has a story to tell, be it about the place, the grape or the winemaker. This list is not meant to be a catalogue of trophy wines & great old vintages; there are plenty of those lists already. What we want you to take away is the experience of trying something that is both new and accessible. Having said all that, we do admit that our tastes can be eclectic, and life is too short to drink bad juice. So if you don’t like what’s in your glass then let us know, the bottle won’t go to waste! (And I mean the first glass, not the last one!) By the taste, glass or flask and over 200 bottles we should be able to find the good juice for you. So, who needs a glass of wine? BYO (Wine Only) is available from 1.30pm Monday to Friday. Corkage is $25 per bottle.

You’re probably wondering what is this guy on about. Cabernet Franc? Well, my original partner in wine endeavours at Bibendum restaurant was a guy called Francois Verite (Frank the Truth), and he hailed from the spiritual home of Franc – the Loire Valley. We were allowed to open a wine per shift to taste, as Francois was the senior sommelier, he let me choose, as long as it was from the Loire. That was the beginning of my love affair with Cabernet Franc. Cab Franc is planted worldwide, mostly as a blending component but plenty of people are seeing its versatility. It’s a big part of St Émilion Bordeaux wines, quite often being the dominant figure in St Émilion’s most famous wine Cheval Blanc. It is found as the hero variety in the Loire Valley reds and is certainly gaining traction across Australia as we strive to produce finer more medium bodied reds. Historically Franc is believed to be one of the ancient varieties, possibly being mentioned as early as 1050. But it’s gone under so many names no one is 100% sure. We do know that Franc and Sauvignon Blanc are the parents of Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc is also one of the parents of Merlot. If you’re feeling nerdy check out Wine Grapes by Jancis Robinson & José Vouillamoz. What does it taste like? Think sticks and stones, lavender and raspberries. Heady & ephemeral yet seriously sessionable. When put together properly it is never too heavy nor too light and the balance of sweet fruit to savoury spice just sings with a meal. It is a true food wine. So, the question remains...WHY??? And the answer really is WHY NOT?! I really love Franc (no comments please) and want people to try it. Yes, we could do Winter of Mataro, Winter of Nebbiolo or Winter of Nero Mascalese but in the end it’s the versatility and accessibility of Franc that makes it a win.

Riesling can be sweet and it can be dry. When hand made by a ‘crazy’ it is awe inspiring in either style. Few grapes express their localism better than Riesling. You can taste the postcode tattoo!

What I ask is that when you order one of the wines from this page you suspend all your beliefs about what makes a wine good or bad.

AMBER ALERT! AMBER ALERT! AMBE Orange (or Amber) wines, probably the most talked about, controversial wines of recent times. Which makes me laugh. If they make up 0.5% of wine production in Australia I'll eat the leftover skins! So, what the .... are they? Well, they’re not made from oranges and not from Orange (though they could be). They're white wines made with extended skin contact in a similar way to the way we make red wines. This extended time on skins can run for a few weeks up to almost a year depending on the producer. This gives the wines their hue and thus the name. It is in fact the way all white wines were originally made.

Frank is truly nuts when it comes to how he makes his wine. Total disregard for the scriptures of what is right or wrong when making wine. Yet truly passionate about trying to produce the best wine he can, that sings of it's place in the world. His vines grow untethered, grapes are picked by hand, other fruits and vegetables are planted throught his vineyards. Nothing is added nor taken out in the prduction of the wines. His wines, for me, are as close to wild produced as is MunJebel Bianco 9 possible. I hope you see what I see within them! 165 MunJebel Rosso 8 MC 170 MunJebel Rosso 9 CS 185 MunJebel Rosso 9 VA 185 MC - Monte Colla Vineyard. Planted between 1946-1948 and running from 740m800m elevation. A steep terraced vineyard, producing a deep brooding style. CS - Chiusa Spagnolo Vineyard. Plantedin 1930's as ungrafted vines at a relatively low altitude of 630m. Surronded by lavaflow rock which accentuates the tannins. VA - Vigne Alta. High Vineyard Cru. Produced from Frank's 3 highest ungrafted vineyards, contrada Tartaraci, contrada Barbabecchi & contrada Monte Dolce. Always a complex and long wine. 2012 was unsually bige and deeply coloured.
