One table. Ten seats. An evening of French wine with our sommelier and owner, Ian - the kind of night you'll be glad you didn't miss.
This Bastille Day, pull up a chair at our table. Over dinner, Ian pours two sides of French wine side by side: the benchmark producers and storied regions that built France's reputation, against the cult growers and revolutionaries rewriting what French wine can be. He'll pour each and tell you the story behind it - the classics and the revolution, glass for glass - and by the end of the night, you'll know exactly where your allegiances lie.
To match, a menu made for the occasion: a charcuterie board to begin, coq au vin with Paris mash to follow, and crème brûlée to close.
It's intimate by design, and it happens once.
