Vinery Foods Our Story. Why shouldn’t your neighbourhood restaurant and bar have a drinks list to challenge anything in the city? Maybe 300 wines and over 200 beers, aperitifs, spirits and liqueurs is overdoing it a bit, but what the heck? Especially when there are so many winemakers, growers and mum and dad vineyards whose livelihood depends on producing terrific wine. It means every drop on the list is there because it’s drinking well now, the grape variety is a wonderful expression of the region or the wine is simply a great match with a particular menu item. When it comes to food, our Chef’s very particular about seasonality and keeping the menu fresh. One week’s the steak’s aged grass fed Sirloin, the next Hangar. (You don’t see it on menus too often, there’s only one per beast.) Squid or Octopus, Barramundi or Bluefin, it’s his call, as is every accompaniment from bottarga to guanciale, seaweed to ponzu. At least we have the wines to go with them. And don’t ever be shy to say ‘Hey, Joe, what’s drinking well, what goes with what?’ Especially when you see words like Carmenere, Zibibbo and Greco di tufo amongst the Sauv Blanc and Shiraz. So feel free to enjoy a drink, a small plate, go the full extravaganza or just pop in late for a nightcap. And if you want ice with your wine, that’s OK too. We do as we please so you can, too.
