Wine List In honour of our favourite disco DJ Larry Levan, in this list we’ve put together a selection of our favourite wines. Hopefully they’ll take you somewhere near seventh heaven and back again, or at least mountain high and river deep. These wines have been made with care and love, the majority by low intervention, organic or biodynamic winemakers who care as much about the environment as what’s in your glass. Welcome to the party!
