Wine List
Your wine committee has redesigned the Club Wine List to reflect changing tastes and trends. The list is split into the usual categories of White, Red, Sparkling and Desert Wines in descending price order. In addition, we have a page devoted specifically to our En Primeur Specialty Wines with Tasting Notes at the back of the list. These are very special Clarets which are bought by your committee at vintage time and laid down for up to 10 years before reaching their optimum and ready for the membership to drink. As a result of this long-standing Club practice, you will find these wines at substantially lower prices than commercial restaurants.
