Simpson’s Restaurant Wine List Here at Simpson’s we have tried to collect a diverse selection of wines to suit the diverse nature of our food. With examples from both the new and old world we have tried to ensure that each is of the best quality for the style and price. We have laid out the wine list by grape variety starting with the grapes that produce the lighter and more aromatic wines through to the richer and more savoury styles. This should allow people to explore wines that may be outside their comfort zone but not a million miles away in style. If you are looking to explore our tasting menu we offer the Classic Wine Flight: a selection of wines chosen as an introduction to food and wine pairing bringing together a range of styles, regions and grapes. The Classic Flight: £70 The Iconic Flight: £110 If you have any other questions about our wine selection our sommelier is on hand to advise.

ENGLISH WINES England’s Sparkling wine history is longer than people think with Christopher Merrett, an English Scientist, who made influential changes to the Champagne Method of production in the 17th Century. However, production of quality wines is a much more recent step. Produced in the same method and from the same grapes as Champagne it can produce some excellent sparkling wines to rival its French cousins and due to climate changes our still wines are getting better all the time.
