The Grove Wine, Port & Sherry 2021
Wine & Drinks at The Grove
Our vintners Jason Banner of Peter Graham Wines and Blaise Le Mesurier have thought long and hard about
which delightful bottles from their well-stocked cellars are best suited to the unique ambiance
and style of this lovely old house.
The aim, of course, is to provide the perfect accompaniment to the delicious food we produce.
Please be aware that some of our wines have been difficult to source this year so there may be substitutions.
We do hope you enjoy your meal with us.
