P.s. 60 people…we ate 30 lobsters, 36 crabs, 40 mackerel pĆ¢tĆ©, 160 scallops, 46 bowls of salad, 38 loafs of mixed sourdoughs and granary from @lievitobakery and drank 15 martinis, 19 bottles of Fizz (mostly @gusbourne_wine) 54 bottles of wine, 2 Caribbean Queens, a Hugo Spritz, a Paloma, and a hot chocolate — yes, really!

VERY LIMITED @ridgevineyards wines availablešŸ· Our VERY LIMITED @ridgevineyards wines availablešŸ· 
Our mailing list has had a 24-hour head start. Now we’re opening the doors on what’s left. And when we say limited, we really do mean it!

We’ve been lucky enough to receive another small allocation from the legendary Ridge Vineyards – fiercely sought-after Californian wines that certainly aren’t handed out to every merchant who asks nicely.

Two new releases. A precious few bottles remaining.

RIDGE ESTATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2023
Monte Bello Vineyard, Santa Cruz Mountains
Ā£90 p/btl

Monte Bello pedigree without quite the Monte Bello wait. Blackberry, mint and toasty oak; bright mountain freshness, polished tannins and a long, classical finish. Easily a decade of beautiful drinking ahead.

RIDGE GEYSERVILLE VINEYARDS 2024
Alexander Valley
Ā£65 p/btl

A California icon from remarkable old-vine vineyards, some more than 125 years old. Raspberry, black cherry, liquorice, vanilla and nutmeg; layered, spicy and built to age.

95–97 points – Vinous

Fancy trying your luck?

DM us with what you’d like and how many bottles. We’ll confirm orders in the order they land, while our remaining allocation lasts.

Once our bit of Ridge is gone, it’s gonešŸ·

For two evenings only, we’re turning our little corner of the car park into a seafood pop-up.

šŸ¦ž Fresh seafood from @portlandshellfish 
šŸ„– Bread from our friends @lievitobakery 

Prepared/Dressed/Cooked fresh to order by our Michelin-trained mate, Mark.

And, because seafood and great wine belong together, we’ll also have a bespoke list of wines chosen especially for the menu.

šŸ“… Thursday 20 & Friday 21 August
šŸ•  From 5.30pm (last orders 8pm)

There are just 30 spaces available each evening, so booking is essential.

Tables of up to six.

No booking fee.

N.B. Because everything is sourced fresh from Portland Shellfish specifically for these two evenings, we’ll ask you to choose and pay for your food by Friday 14th Aug. It means we only buy exactly what we’ll be serving, ensuring everything arrives at its absolute best. Pay for whatever you drink on the night. 

Bookings close on Friday 14 August.

šŸ¾ Fancy choosing something from our shelves instead? Absolutely. We’ll happily open any bottle with corkage (just allow a little extra time if it needs chilling.)

This one’s all about good food, great wine and a bit of fun with friends.
