 Wine time 🍷 We chatted to our GM Josh about the bottles he's most excited about in the wine bar right now... "A month of celebration calls for special bottles. The domaines of Labet, Ganevat and Rousset-Martin offer some of the finest examples of Chardonnay and Savagnin in the world, with a true sense of Jura terroir and energy. Together they're up there with the most coveted wines of France, with incredible skill and attention paid in both the vineyards and the cellar. These are a handful of the iconic bottles on our list - due to their rarity we don't expect them to last long...come and get 'em while you still can." 📸: @nicoleminers

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩... 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐀 SAN FRANCISCO 19th - 22nd December  Introducing Side A, the hotly anticipated debut restaurant and vinyl wine bar from Parker Brown coming to San Francisco in summer 2024. Yep, this one’s an exclusive… Chicago-born @parkerabrown recently left Aphotic, where he cleverly crafted elegant seafood-driven tasting menus with quality, traceability and creativity at their core, leading the team not just to a Michelin Star but to a Michelin Green Star too. Now joining forces with his music-loving wife Caroline, the pair have taken inspiration from seven years of shared travels, meals and live music to create @sideasf. Together they’ll draw on techniques picked up over a decade working in fine dining kitchens and channel it into a more relaxed and approachable setting. Aiming to amplify the connections between food, music and community, they’ll be serving crowd-pleasing elevated American bistro fare like ‘Oysters, Rose Mignonette, Fermented Fresno Hot Sauce’; ‘Gnocchi, Short Rib, Giardiniera, Onion Jus’; and ‘Striped Bass, Endive, Clam Sauce, Herbs’ to a carefully-curated soundtrack of soul, funk, disco, jazz and more played on vinyl through the best hifi system they could get their hands on. Join us for an exclusive preview of what promises to be one of the hottest new additions to San Francisco’s dining scene.

 WINE OF THE WEEK 🍷 This week, our GM Josh has picked out a very pleasing pinot... "As the weather takes a turn, many reach for bold, tannic reds, but we love a red Burgundy for its ability to bring power and finesse, while retaining a delicate touch. Thierry Mortet's 2020 Bourgogne Rouge is a perfect example. The vineyards are in and around the village of Gevrey-Chambertin and work in the estate is biodynamic. This, along with a nuanced touch of oak, leads to a wine which over-performs for its entry-level denomination. Perfumed and fruity like all good Pinot, it also has serious concentration, ideal for standing up to the season's heartier dishes. Try it with our Mangalitza Pork Chop & Celeriac Remoulade...."

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩... 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐁𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐦 LONDON 12th – 16th December Meet @boutheina.b.salem, the culinary force bringing Tunisian food and the rituals that surround it to the forefront of London’s dining scene. Raised on her grandparent’s farm in Tunisia, Boutheina recalls fond memories of warm winters spent harvesting olives, foraging khobiza and drying couscous and spices on rooftops alongside other women. “From an early age, I understood food as a means of storytelling and connecting – a matriarchal, magical process that sits at the heart of every life event, as well as the means by which knowledge is passed from one generation of women to the next,” she says. But it was only when she left home to travel that the urge to cook, celebrate and share the food and culture she left behind became so strong. Boutheina began hosting intimate dinners from her London home, introducing people to an authentic Tunisian dining experience that couldn’t be found elsewhere in the city. The popularity of these events spread like wildfire and Boutheina went on to launch her Babel de B project, showcasing her contemporary take on traditional Tunisian dishes and homemade products at pop-ups in London, Madrid, Toronto and Paris. Next up? Carousel, where she’ll be serving a sharing-style feast centred around ‘Lama’, a celebration of togetherness, that will include her signature ‘brik à l’œuf’ with bonito, capers and fresh herbs; spiced venison meatballs; homemade couscous with cured lamb sausage; and more impossibly delicious-sounding dishes made using homegrown and handcrafted ingredients. Swipe to read the full menu and get a snapshot of some of Boutheina's beautiful cooking, then head to the link in our bio to bag yourself a table.
