5. The Greenhouse
Feted as the largest wine list in London, this is a supermodel of a collection from start to finish. Sommelier and wine judge, Elvis Ziakos oversees circa 3,500 bins at Mayfair’s Greenhouse, a sharp restaurant owned by Marlon Abela along with The Square, Umu and Morton’s club. “Our gastronomic identity focuses on the great region of Burgundy!” says Ziakos of the invincible list, built with patience and strategy, “from the simplicity of Mâcon, to Chablis from Raveneau, Jean-François’ Coche-Dury and Comte Lafon, with reds lead by the great names such as Armand Rousseau, Domaine Dujac, Sylvain Cathiard and the sumptuous Domaine de la Romanée-Conti”. Ziakos further enriches the list, which runs to more than 120 pages, with distinctive and consistent producers from the rest of the world, such as Château Yvonne from the Loire Valley, Veyder-Malberg from Wachau, and David & Nadia Sadie from Swartland of South Africa.
