Or at least mountain high or river deep. The list features a range of wines which have been made with care and love. The majority are low intervention, organic or biodynamic winemakers who care as much about the environment as what’s in the glass. Enjoy!

  • Port, Sherries & Sake
    1st October 2017 - 30th September 2018 www.joh.cam.ac.uk ALL PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF VAT AT THE PREVAILING RATE Sometimes your choice of wine might not be available. If not, please accept our apologies and we will suggest an alternative. We will also endeavour to supply the vintage indicated, however, if this changes, we will inform you. We will provide the updated vintage on our list. WELCOME Welcome to the new St John’s College Wine List for 2017/18. The wines have been chosen for their individual style and quality. The Catering Team here at St John’s College tasted many of the new wines for the list in March 2017, to make sure they fall within our quality expectations. Some of the wines have been tasted against some of the menu items that feature in the new set of banqueting menus. We also believe that these wines give real value for money. We have also held a few wine tastings with the students of the College, which is always important, as they then know the wines when selecting for their functions. In February 2017 we hosted a wine suppliers’ lunch to discuss new wines, regions, vintages, the wine trade in general and new wines for the list. Many of the suppliers have given us great help and support throughout the year. I visited some vineyards in Portugal, Austria, Sweden, Bordeaux, Rioja and Alsace in the last year. This year we have added a little Bordeaux section to the wine list. Please try some of the more unusual wines, they are good quality and very well made.

Here at The Wine Story Club, our philosophy is that where wine is concerned “small is beautiful” in the sense that wines lovingly produced in small quantities by families who have often worked there for generations are more likely to have individual character, identity and soul than wine produced as a brand in big volumes in an impersonal factory environment. Our wine selection is also based on finding wines which are really typical of their region to help you appreciate the diversity of the world of wine in its full glory. We focus on natural ways of production (Organic, Natural & Biodynamic) because we fervently believe that wine is a natural product which deserves respect and which should be preserved as much possible from the artificial influences of chemicals and additives such as sulphur and pesticides.

  • HOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT NATURAL WINE? We Drink, Breathe, and Sleep Thinking About the History of the Humble Grape and Its Importance in the World
    HOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT NATURAL WINE? We drink, breathe, and sleep thinking about the history of the humble grape and its importance in the world. Kinda a lot of pressure for a fermented beverage, but we know Wine can handle it. We’ve gone all in on natural wine because we believe in celebrating farmers and other stewards of the land who work tirelessly to create biodiverse landscapes. Think of wine as a transmitter of a certain place and time in history: if made with nothing but grapes, a bottle has the ability to tell us what the soil in the vineyard is composed of, what the weather was like in a given vintage, and what the surrounding flora and fauna are doing. Cover it up with any number of 60-plus legal chemical additives, and what are you left with? Something engineered that no longer transmits its story. There is no official definition of what natural wine is. But we have our definition, and here’s our promise: every wine on this list is grown organically or biodynamically, free of any chemicals in the vineyard. Every wine on this list is made without any additives except sulfur, which is naturally occurring in grapes. Every wine on this list is fermented with its own living, wild yeast. And every wine on this list is made in small, or very small, amounts. It’s difficult to find fault with any of that. We love these wines and the people behind them, and we hope you do too. Corkage: $20 per 750ml not on our list, limit 2 bottles per party.
