The Harrow Wine Story - Top of The World We started building this list in 1998, when we had two pages, now we are rated not only as having one of the finest Restaurant Wine Lists in U.K, but were voted in the top 100 Wine Lists in the World this September. Along the road we have picked up a few “Gongs” including Decanter Wine Restaurant of The Year, The AA Wine List of The Year, The Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence and recently “The World of Fine Wine” top award of 3 Stars and The Jury Award for one of the best Wine Lists in the World. Roger is now very much involved in Wine Journalism working for Decanter Magazine and www.the- buyer.net. He is also highly sort after as a Wine Judge and is Panel Chair for IWSC, has spent over 10 years judging for The Decanter World Wine Awards and has recently been added to the judging panel for The Pinnacle Wine Awards, based in Singapore. Roger also sits on The Taittinger Sommelier of The Year Competition. All our wines are served in Grape Varietal Specific Riedel Glasses, which enhances the wine and your experience. We are able to provide a whole range of wines by the glass by using preservation systems such as Le Verre de Vin and Coravin. We list the wines by grape variety giving you a chance to reflect or choose a wine that may not immediately come to mind when you are looking for a specific grape or style. We buy wine to age allowing these wines to shine and be drunk at their best. If this list is just overwhelming for you note we match every dish on our menus with at least two wine choices, and have a comprehensive by the glass list. The Tri Nations Wine Challenges were set up by Roger & Sue 6 years ago in Cape Town, and are regularly hosted in Little Bedwyn and Cape Town and have also been held in Newbury, New Zealand and Australia highlighting the wines of South Africa, Australia and New Zealand matched blind to a tasting menu. In the last couple of years we have invited California and Chile as Guest Nations. In 2014 the Jones Family went into wine production and have 2 wines already produced with further wines on the way. The first 2 wines, a Chenin and a Pinot Noir, were both made in South Africa. The Mamba Riedel Decanter Awards was set up by Roger and Sue over 13 years ago to highlight premium wines from Australia. This event hosted every July in a marquee in our grounds, is attended by the UK’s finest decision makers in the Wine Industry led by Steven Spurrier.
