Wine List

33 List Wines. Why 33 wines exactly? A human spine has 33 vertebrae, 33 is according to the Newton Scale the temperature when water boils, Jesus performed 33 miracles, and was 33 years old when crucified in 33 AD. It also forces us to make this list the best possible match for Laurence Tham’s extraordinary menu combining Modern European methods with Caribbean ingredients. Every wine fights for its place on this list. When a new wine arrives another must go. Think it’s easy to do? It’s not. Each wine has a reason to be here, to match with a special dish. No matter what you choose we are confident you will be happy. Explore and enjoy!
