What a busy week – we’ve been launching a couple of things, notably our Perfect Pairing project. The board is up, and Olivia was this week’s winner. One glass-credit for when she is next instore!
Entry is simple. Buy a bottle, cook a meal you think goes perfectly with it. After taking a picture of the Perfect Pairing, tag us in the images (@thevineking) with the hashtag #vkperfectpairing and add a line describing what you are eating – then come in and enjoy your free drink!
On the Vinebar this week…
2015 Rock Angel £7/glass
Sacha Lichine at the top of his game, the Rock Angel sits just above the Whispering Angel in his stable of beauties. A pale, barely-there pink, with a pure, youthful nose that is both fresh yet intense on the palate. Oodles of that crushed fruit so familiar, and a barely perceptible richness: this stunning rosé is dangerously lovely!
2011 Gevrey-Chambertin, Dom. Kohut £7.50/glass
Having decided to take our Coravin system out for a ride Dom Kohut was top of the list. Full and rich with aromatic spices, gaminess and plum. Shedloads of ripe red fruit held under control by some classy oaking, this glossy, polished Gevrey shows Burgundy where it’s at.
