Wine list

2 33

One of our greatest challenges when we craft our list is to be innovative whilst at the same time listing great quality wines at prices which are genuinely good value. Although self-cooling bottles of Prosecco and single-serve rosés have their market, we’re not prepared to feature the wild and wacky just for the hell of it. We continue to source wines from lesser known countries such as Bulgaria and Luxembourg, and from unusual grapes such as Romorantin and Biancame, but the number one consideration is that they must be really good.

But it’s not just about innovation through funky grape varieties. We’ve dramatically reduced our carbon foot-print through five years of shipping wines in bag-in-box, saving tonnes of glass in the process and offering an eclectic range of premium wines at

happy prices. On top of this, all our sites pour from eco-friendly 20 litre ‘key kegs’ with the latest wine being a stonking Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) from Germany’s Pfalz region.

What’s next? Well, our wine list. We believe wholeheartedly that a wine list should be as fun, accessible and usable as possible. In presenting our pride and joy in this new format, we’d like to see it come off the table, into your pocket and on its way back home with you. We’ll print every three months, with new editorial, exciting new finds and mainstays such as staff favourites and the full Wine Shop list at the back. Thanks for reading!

Tawny Port ‘Senior Tawny’ — Niepoort, Douro, Portugal 39.00Layer upon layer of dried fruit and nut flavours, a velvety texture and a pleasing fresh-fruit dimension.

Vintage Port ‘Corte’ 1997 — Delaforce, Douro, Portugal (limited stock) 62.00Classy, complex aromas of red fruit and rose, and a concentrated palate of hedgerow fruit with sweet, ripe tannins.

Sherry & friends

The unique salty/sweet, dry/rich, fruity/nutty magic of sherry and its contemporaries.

Manzanilla, — La Sanluqueña (Dry), Sanlucar de Barrameda, Spain 28.00A brilliant Manzanilla, dry, salty, tangy and vibrant with intense depth and length. Drink cold with olives and almonds.

Amontillado Goyesco — Rodriguez La Cave (Dry), Jerez, Spain 35.00Light amber in colour; delicate, pungent aromas of dried nuts. Dry, light and smooth.

Marsala Riserva Superiore — Curatolo (Medium), Marsala , Sicily 34.50This makes a delicious aperitif, served chilled. Intense, rounded and nutty with rich caramelised nuts and a dry, salty finish.

Madeira ‘Rainwater Reserva’ — Barbeito (Medium Dry), 50cl, Madeira, Portugal 30.50Tinta Negra, made by the Canteira method (barrel-aged for five years in hot attics). Ripe citrus, floral and dried fruit.

“Matching food and wine is either an extremely complex, detailed subject, a set of rules embedded in one’s national culture, or an activity only for gastro-bores, according to one’s point of view.”

— Oxford Companion to Wine

The Vinoteca team put a lot of thought into food and wine matching, with wine recommendations for each dish offered proudly on our menus. But we would defend to the last the idea that wine is all about subjectivity, the basis of our distinctly non-precious views on what you choose to drink. We may well recommend those grilled Cornish Sardines with a tangy Anjou from Domaine du Fresche, but if you want to follow this with lemon curd ice cream washed down with a Barossa Shiraz, then power to you. We’re the guide, you’re the boss.

Matching food and wine

34 35

After ten years of Vinoteca, here are ten things you never knew (and never wanted to ask?) about our people and wines:

1. 10 years ago Vinoteca Farringdon opened in September 2005. Charlie and Brett ran the floor, Carol Craddock was in the kitchen, helped by a kitchen porter called Rodimar, and we had one waiter, the doe-eyed and improb-ably-named Marko Soda. We now employ around 140 people over five sites: Farringdon, Marylebone, Soho, Chiswick and King’s Cross.

2. Bag-in-box and keg We take our bag-in-box and keg wines pretty seriously. We’ve now saved several tonnes of glass from shipping wines in boxes rather than

bottles, and took a whole group of staff out to visit our b-i -b produc-ers this year. Our 2013 Neiss Riesling from Pfalz was the first quality estate-grown wine in the UK to be served on tap from 20-litre key kegs.

3. Warehouse storage Up until this year, we used our first floor lift-free office as wine storage. Every single bottle, box and keg of wine that we import directly had to be carried up (and then back down) the two flights of stairs by our long-suffering office team. Since we recently got our own warehouse (shared with trade friends Planet of the Grapes) everyone is a lot happier, but significantly less well exercised.

10 years of Vinoteca

4. Popular and niche As well as the more unusual bot-tles on our list, we don’t shy away from popular styles and varieties, we just make sure they’re extra deli-cious. We now sell over 8000 bottles of prosecco a year, and choose to stock only a vintage Cava which con-stantly creates Cava converts.

5. International Vinoteca’s team is positively globe-spanning in its variety. The very long list of our staff’s home countries currently includes France, Spain, Italy, Poland, Australia, Germany, Sweden, Turkey, Hungary, Japan, Finland, Portugal, Canada, America, England and many, many more. Head office alone is home to people from Russia, Latvia, New Zealand and even the far flung reaches of Yorkshire, Birmingham and Cornwall.

6. Extended family Talking of the Vinoteca family, lots of members have gone on to populate or create some of the best restaurants and businesses all across London and beyond. Alex Thorpe runs the neighbourhood gem Toasted in East Dulwich; Alvis Nemiro is assis-tant sommelier at the Chiltern Fire-house (and keeps us entertained with stories of partying with Lindsay Lohan and Kate Moss); Nick Trower has started Biercraft, supplying the best craft beers to the capital; and Almay Jordaan and Simon Denman head up the brilliant Neighbourhood Wine on the other side of the world in Melbourne.

7. Awards We don’t bang on about awards very often and had to reach into the deepest, darkest recesses of Charlie’s brain to remember what we’d won, but here is just a selec-tion of our prizes over the years:

— Wine Bar of The Year Time Out 2006

— Wine Bar of the Year Harpers Wine and Spirit Drinking Out Excellence Awards 2009 and 2011

— Winner Restaurant Award Portuguese Wine Awards 2013

— Top London Wine Bar Drinks Business International, 2013

— Best Drinks Offer R200 Restaurant Awards 2013

— Wine Bar List of the Year Imbibe Magazine, 2014

— Best Drinks Offer in a Group/Chain Harpers Awards, 2014

— Restaurant Personality of the Year (Charlie and Brett), Imbibe Magazine, 2014

8. Charity We work with charities all year round — each restaurant supports local charities with contributions for raffles or auctions, and we work with Street Smart each winter, adding a £1 optional donation to each bill to help people on the streets at the coldest time of year. We were part of Auction against Hunger for the first time in 2015, auctioning off a bespoke wine dinner in our Private Rooms, and we’ve now worked with the Royal London Society for Blind People for two years, resulting in two sold-out Blind Tasting evenings.

9. The long list We change around a third of the wine list twice a year and it’s a team effort. Charlie and Brett call in samples from the myriad suppli-ers and producers we work with, and then all staff are welcome to come and taste through hundreds of bottles over a two day period, and give their scores and opinions, from which the final list is formed. Tasting hun-dreds of samples at once is sometimes less fun than it sounds, but on the whole, we can’t complain.

10. Rodney and The Horse Brett and Charlie are known as Rodney and The Horse respectively; it’s probably for the best if we don’t explain why. Rodney and The Horse now have their own wines — a deep juicy Clare Valley Shiraz and a crisp, zingy, dry Clare Valley Riesling. Both are made from single vineyard fruit by a very talented winemaker Darryl Caitlin, and we off-set all carbon emissions from trans-porting them back to the UK from Australia. They are available to drink in or take home from our Wine Shop. The wines, that is, not Brett and Charlie. Although they’re generally to be found drinking in, and you’re welcome to try and take them home.

Winter in the wine shop

The Danish have a word, “hygge”, for which there is no direct translation. It means the essence of cosiness, the desire, come winter, to curl up at home with a warm blanket, good company and hearty food and drink. We understand that sometimes not even our cosy, welcoming wine bars can tempt you out, but luckily you can enjoy our whole wine list without even having to leave the house. Every one of our wine bars sells all our wines to take away and all at a proper retail price — around 50% of the cost to drink-in. If you have a glass or bottle of something which thrills you, fills you with joy or just grabs your attention, take a bottle home and get to know it even better.

Oscar Miller, Wine Shop Manager at King’s Cross has picked out the bottles he’d like to drink in front of a roaring fire this winter:

1. Claudio Mariotto ‘Derthona’ 2013 (£18.75 retail/£38.00 drink in)

“This indigenous and unique variety has a fantastic complexity on the palate. As the wine ages the mineral focus of the wine evolves and becomes like no other wine I have tried before. A great wine for winter — the more you can warm the glass in your hands, the more complex it gets. A real thinking wine!”

2. Domaine Gardies ‘Les Milleres’ 2012 (£16.95 retail/£36.00 drink in)

“A big southern French red blend of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan and a touch of Mourvedre that has both power and finesse. With a fantastic nose, love-ly minerality and a rich earthiness,

you can just sit back and enjoy the smells of the Roussillon as the wine opens up in the glass.”

3. Moscatel de Setúbal 2001, Bacalhôa (£19.50 retail/£38.50 drink in)

“Intensely aromatic with all the things one desires on the cold winter nights. The ageing of this Southern Portuguese fortified has brought a development of dried fruits and honey that are just crying out for a fire-place and some fruit cake!”

If you’d rather not leave the house at all, have a look at our online shop, currently going through a bit of a face lift, but still fully functional and able to deliver you one particular bottle or a whole party’s worth of booze. Happy hygge.
