Ashes & Diamonds

22nd – 25th June

Ashes & Diamonds is a Californian vineyard with a difference. One of the top one hundred wineries in the world, their wines are an ode to Napa’s heyday in the 60s.

It’s not just the “stunning, complex and subtle” wines (Jonothan Davey, Nekter) that make A&D so special, it’s also the vineyard experience that Kashy Khaledi and his team offer, which lends equal weight to the incredible, market-driven cooking of head chef Ethan Speizer.

After cutting his teeth at some of the Bay Area’s best loved restaurants, along with a memorable summer at Arzak in the Basque Country, Ethan matches his food to A&D’s wines. For his week with us, Ethan has created a gorgeously summery menu featuring the likes of ‘Rillettes of Smoked Trout, MG’s Fermented Potato Bread, Crème Fraîche, Herbs’; ‘Sungold Tomato Tostada, Salsa Negra, Rancho Gordo Midnight Bean, Crema’ and ‘Grilled Beef, Summer Lettuces, CA Miso, Wild Garlic’ that are as close to the full A&D vineyard experience as you’re going to get without hopping on the next flight to San Francisco.

Ashes & Diamonds wines can be found on the tables of Ynyshir, L’enclume and Clove Club. Now you can enjoy them at Carousel, just as nature intended.
