7. Restaurant Gordon Ramsay
One of the most important aspects of a wine list is to be able to offer bottles at varying stages of their maturity to suit all palates, says sommelier, James Lloyd, “but our list does lean towards the more mature”. The glamorous petite dining salon saw a kitchen refurbishment in January, resulting in the movement of a few bottles from cool cabinets in this space off site. However, wines of the highest quality remain, which “have to make sense for the money,” and “be ready to drink,” according to laser-sharp head sommelier, Lloyd who has authored an entertaining list featuring charts, maps, flavour wheels and textual factoids, such as “back in the day, Montrachet was the wine Grace Kelly brought to wheelchair-bound Jimmy Stewart’s apartment in Rear Window along with a meal from the 21 Club. We would willingly break one of our legs for that kind of delivery service”.
