Join us for another wine led foodie eve!

Thursday 20th March

Last month saw us host 2 of these wine led dinner eve’s and it seems to have been a huge success, we have loved doing it. The reason we started this format was to get great bottles in front of you in an affordable manner.

Wine and food go hand in hand & as a society we often over complicate that, we don’t have to go out for a 3 course meal to enjoy a great bottle of wine, in fact the opposite, nail a great bottle of wine, and let us provide you some simple, humble honest food to go with it, let the wine do the talking..

“If in doubt, Gauby”

It’s true, we do have that saying, weather it’s at home or in a restaurant & we are struggling to pick a bottle out, Gauby is always a reliable steed.

So with that in mind, we will take the choice out of your hand’s, and serve you some Gauby with simple, yet, delicious food to go with it!

Why do we love Gauby?

Domaine Gauby is located close to the small town of Calce in the Roussillon. Now run by Gérard Gauby, his wife Ghislaine and their son Lionel (who is responsible for the winemaking) the domaine has a well-earned reputation for making wines of exemplary freshness in a hot climate.

Gérard took over this family domaine in 1985 when it had just five hectares of vines, including three hectares of over 100-year-old vines planted by his great-grandfather.

Domaine Gauby sits among rolling hills, with a sweeping view of the Mediterranean on one side and a dramatic backdrop of the Pyrenees on the other. This unique climate and location expose the domaine to strong coastal and mountain breezes and a high level of sunshine.

Gérard has worked tirelessly to restore rich biodiversity in the domaine’s vineyards, certified organic since 1996. Following the principles of agroforestry, rows of almond and olive trees are now planted between the vines to protect them from the wind and to attract wildlife. The Roussillon has incredibly diverse soils of limestone, marl and schist which, combined with the multiple aspects within the rolling hills, have given Gérard the freedom to experiment and maximise the potential of each grape variety.

On the eve..

We will be serving the Calcinares Rouge, a blend of Mouvedre, Syrah, Cinsault & Grenache. You’d be forgiven to think this would be a big powerful wine with that DNA, but as ever, not all is at it would seem. The wine in question exudes that mountain freshness, has poise & elegance, great purity of fruit and nice acidity that makes it perfect for all occasions.. If in doubt, Gauby.

For food, we will be brazing Beluga lentils in red wine & serving them in a bowl with the best Sausages we can get our hands on with some sourdough to mop up with.
