THE WINE LIST
BEAUTIFUL STORIES AND
DELICIOUSNESS TO BACK THEM UP...
These were the two necessary elements for the wines to make it into our wine list.
The ‘how’ of these wines, their stories, the ‘agonies’ of their winemakers,
the notion of terroir; all the important factors that bring the word authenticity
and the people -who make the wine- to the forefront.
Wine is the most beautiful way to start a ‘conversation’,
to connect people, to create magical moments and share experiences.
IT IS LIFE WITH PASSION AND LOVE...
